    I worry about being marked down if they have to wait - I have 100% but got a low score on dispatch time - Eb.. took away my ability to use FLW!
    :mad:

    I have a 100% I just explain in listings due to work and postoffice being quite far away postage is once a week as I can't physically get there more than this and explained it in email too it's there choice they can pay and have it shipped that week usually a wed or wait to the following week!! Just make sure to explain it I think most of them understand to be honest and I always email them a day or two before explaining so they have warning!!

    When I asked about dispatch times on the EB.. answer forum - was told - buyers expect next day posting! I can't keep going back and forth into town - I sold 16 items - 12 paid by lunchtime so I posted them. Now I have 2 more to post and 2 not paid.

    Can't believe how well some of you have done, I was just pleased to get over £100!! Two of my things sold on ebay but as I don't know how much postage etc is I won't be counting this money until I have sent the parcels so will still count towards feb. Nearly up to 800 again on swags.

  • Sounds like you've all done really well with the challenge this month! I can't join you 'cos I didn't do the EB one, & I can't redeem anything yet as didn't sign up to anything very early, but happy with how it's going; just wish I could write reviews a bit quicker! And that I knew how many points I really have on T**na!

    I find if you email and explain and put in listing it's not a problem unless I've just been lucky
