    well done posting,
    i've got a few more bids on my items,
    thankfully i didnt get so excited as the first time :rolleyes:
    anyway, can i ask you about the bids,
    you know when you click on them and the same person seems to have upped the price 3 or 4 times in a row :confused:
    whats that all about, is it the automatic bidding :confused:

    sured do you mean its the same name on your bidding but its upped it for say a 1p or £1 or do you mean someone has bid then a different bidder then the original bidder before? :rolleyes:

    Evening all

    Well I must admit I have had a great few days on the setting up of e-bay. At the moment I have 43 items selling, 5 with bids on and 6 watching. I started on Monday but I think it will be a great idea to do most of these over the weekend.

    I have taken in all your advice and I must admit I like the one whereby your not climbing all over the house to find your 5 month old baby boy... I have stored it all in my bedroom for the time being as this is the only room for free space that I have.

    Will definately look into the weighing scales . Thankfully I have the local post office just a walk away, go exercise if anything.

    The e-bay fund is going ahead a bit of debt , doesn't matter how much at least it's going against it.

    Will keep you all posted

    ttfn

    if the same person has bid three times they may have upped ther bid so bid one was (for example) 99p then they decided they would up it to £3.00 the £30.00... each time ebay will at a few pence onto tje auction as thats how the bidding works.. silly i know but nothing to worry about :D
