    Hi Tatty - you have to either put in the title or ISBN number of the book - then if its listed in their catalogue you will get offered a price - mostly 25p for common paperbacks but I have had £5 for a student book.

    Re Ebya - not had much luck lately but I usually either do it on the free weekends or go for 99p as start price from Sunday to Sunday.

    eBay state that most sales happen between 8pm and 10pm on a Sunday evening. That seems to be the best "impulse spend" time. So that's the best time to have your listing end. So either put on a Thursday night for a 3 day or 10 day listing. Or Sunday night for a 7 day listing (even better on free listing weekend).

    I hope that helps.

    Does anyone else get a great sense of satisfaction of colouring their 1% squares?!? I love it!

    Gah! Had to refund the £14 I'd earned as I'd listed it incorrectly, emailed to explain and it turns out it isn't what she wanted. Never mind.

    Got £12 cash back on quidco today though :) for the bike trailer we bought to enable us to keep the car/set up and pay off out other debts. What's the payout on quidco? X
