    Basically you just list the things that you want to sell with pics if possible in one of the selling groups. My own selling group is one that i do for charity fundraising but have added the option for other people to sell things on there if they make a small donation if and when an item sells on the page. I then add the items to an album and promote all the goods across lots of different selling groups - i also do a charity auction. Personally i find it pretty successful but that could be to do with the fact its charity fundraising or the fact that i promote the items so much. I still use paypal and i still charge postage costs if the buyer doesn't want to pick up or is too far away etc. I find it a much more positive experience than ebay but i'd say i don't make so many sales (but then don't pay fees either).

    If you want to know anything more just shout :)

    It's really windy here so I have braved it up the garden to get the towels in already which i put out yesterday, they were dry! Thought I looked a state and that it was a good job that everyone was still in bed , me in a vest top cardi pj bottoms and wellies, it wasn't until I was walking down the path taking the washing in and noticed a wardrobe misfunction on the left upper side that i realised how lucky I was that everyone was still in bed:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, very tricky to pop yourself back in with an arm full of washing basket:rotfl::rotfl:

    Happy Windy Saturday everyone! :o

    Vintage, that's how I am normally dressed when getting in the washing - luckily for me tho I have never had a wardrobe misfunction (love the terminoligy btw) - really gave me a good laugh :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    FC, we are going on our 'romantic' weekend on 23 March - can't wait - the last time me and OH went away for the weekend together on our own was for our 10th wedding anniversary which was 15 years ago :eek:. Thank you Mr T for this 'free' weekend

    Right today I have:

    - Been to work (don't normally work on Saturday but hey-ho it meant extra money) :T)
    - Cleaned patio door windows (inside and out)
    - Went to B&M and stocked up on bits that are alot cheaper than asda
    - Went to Meat market and stocked up for month on meat
    - Waiting for asda to deliver shop (hoping this will last the month and will only need to top up on fresh)
    - Bought a bottle of wine which I will consume tonight after picking up DD from dancing
    - DS has painted bathroom ceiling - aw, love him:heartsmil
    - OH gone to work on overtime - aw, love him too :love:
    - Have managed to put off putting diesel in van til tomorrow, when new month starts on cc so enabling me to get full 56 days of interest free period

    Happy Saturday everyone :beer:

    dum diddly dum dum..........feeling totally lazy today!!! Was up most of the night with exploding bum syndrome :o so that probably has quite a bit to do with it!

    Nevertheless i want to get a few things done:

    swaggers target 700
    check free postcode lottery
    superpoints clicks - almost at claim level for $10 or £5 amazon voucher - have to check what the exchange is
    do something with headless ted
    add something to charity auction page

    will see how i get on with them before i add anything more :)
