    That's quite a lot to undercharge. I only list in UK but are you not allowed to charge extra for overseas. I'd have thought there should be something that allows for different postal rates. I'd be :mad: as well.

    Hope you get your Internet sorted out, not much fun.

    Have a good weekend.

    Yes, there is, I always list postage for abroad as a good number of my sales go overseas. I'd listed it for 1kg postage, but once I'd packed it, it was 2kg so doubled. I obviously didn't check properly :doh:.

    Internet is still not working so I'm going to have to get on the phone tomorrow.

    You have a good weekend too :)

    Jwil..hope Internet gets fixed soon. When mine was dropping in and out a week or so ago I was doing my nut! OH fixed it though, via a call centre somewhere. Whole router had to be rebooted several times, ( rather than my just switching it on and off again trick!)

    Have a good weekend and as you say, every little helps!!

    Hey Brizzle, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and phone them. It's definitely the router as I've checked with the netbook too.

    Hopefully it will be a relatively simple fix.

    Have a good weekend!

    Morning everyone, happy weekend :)

    Not sure what the plan is, we'd like to do a boot sale, but it's a case of shower dodging so not sure whether it's worth it.

    I need to call up about the internet.

    I need to look through my amazon books in advance of the postage increases, and need to check ebay sales before they get relisted again (not due to be done this week though).

    I have sold a couple of 99p items, so have added £3 to my target.

    It's been a tough week this week, so I'm a bit behind on what I've been up to.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend.

    Well we have decided to give the boot sale a go. Fingers crossed it stays dry. Car is loaded now, so lets hope for lots of sales.

    Morning all - your weather sounds the same as here jwil - i was hoping to go to a carboot this weekend but really don't want to give up precious snooze time to find its been rained off :o

    Ooh have you checked the amaz*n trade-in thing jwil ? Just in case its worth it to you x

    Oh yes i'm off out for a meal later and just checked on the net and major improvements have been made which means i'm looking forwards to it more now - it was to a restaurant i wasn't keen on before so feeling better about it now *phew*.

    Hope if you go booting you make loads and hope if you don't it gives you chance to both chill and catch up on things :)

    Good luck, Jwil. I don't think you are too far away from me and it's been pretty changeable here today - one minute nice and sunny, next minute very dark and tipping it down. Hope the car boot goes well.

    I'm off out to pot up about a hundred seedlings.

    Thanks for the reminder about amazon, I must try and remember to check it out tomorrow.

    Have a good meal tonight, good news that the restaurant has improved :T :T

    Thanks P&F, it's not been too bad here today, hope the planting out went well!

    Well the boot sale was a huge success, we made a grand total of £0 :T

    We drove all that way to find it was cancelled :mad: So we went for a walk by the coast instead so it wasn't a completely wasted journey.

    Ironically though, it was gloriously sunny there, would have been lovely!

    We are going to try again tomorrow instead now.
