  • I never knew about that page either thanks littlesheepy ;)

    Kaz Got my fingers crossed for a bidding war for you

    Skintmum don't be disheartened. I totally lost my ebay mojo too, i've started back by setting myself one item a day (i can do them daily or all on one day, as long as i have 7 at the end of the week extra is a bonus but doesn't count towards forthcoming weeks) and i aim to do an extra for a free listing weekend. 10 mins a day to do one listing is far easier than sitting down for an hour making youself list. So far, i'm exceeding that. Found setting a very realistic and achievable target helps so much.

    Have listed 20 new items today :j and going to go through some relists after i've eaten, i'm awarding myself two more stars for this week :D

    Hope everyone else is also having a productive FLW

    Well, I'm up to 38 items listed and I never did get around to getting DD's bike out of the shed to list. I've had another question regarding the napkin rings and postage to Germany. They have 6 watchers on them so far too. Quite exciting really :D

    My MiL came round earlier and was having a look at my ebay stuff. She said it was a shame I couldn't just end the auction early and let the bidder have it. I think she has not quite grasped the way ebay works in that ebay bids are binding and that if someone has bid so much so early, they may well fetch more. Obviously they may not but it would be nice if they did!

    First four items went for a combined £45 which I'm pleased with, though I undercharged on the postage, but you live and learn I suppose

    Everyone seems to be doing well.
    Sorry to whoever tried the photo hosting, I wasn't on yesterday & didn't think to explain that you need to change the page view to HTML & then back again.
    I got another 43 listed yesterday.
    Of the 23 I listed last week, which finish this evening, I have bids of just under £20 & watchers on lots of the others, whether they'll turn into bidders or just watchers remains to be seen.
    Keys 50 sales in a week is very good.
    In all I've listed 66 items in a week, so that's my however many bags I said done for one week.

    Well done on all of your sales keys. Sorry you failed your driving test, and I hope you get your heating fixed soon.
    Hermum, don't worry, I got there in the end with a little help from here! I will know for next time so it's not a problem is it :).
    Still no more bids and nothing else unearthed for sale yet. I have just gone through my ebay and deleted everything I was watching. I want the money in hand this time.

    Kaz if you're struggling for stuff come to my house, I could probably list a bag a day for the next 20 years, without buying anything else on a whim that ends up being sold again & still my daughter will have stuff to dump on my demise.
