    CW - regarding the free listing on ebay, would it work on a big item that I want to start at £50? I've only ever done little items before! TIA

    yes TBN, that is the great thing about free listings. You can start it at any price over £1.50 and don't have to pay listing fees. So start yours at £50, you will only have to pay selling fees when you sell it.

    good luck with it.
