Well, the business sellers selling British flags should be doing pretty well at the moment ...and for the next few weeks!

The ones I know have still not got over the dire sales of England flags after the last World Cup and this time around wasn't much better for those.

I suppose at least St. Andrews flags have been doing unexpectedly well lately?

Anyone noticed a bit of an upturn today? I have had a number of bids in today and it looks like some of my things might finally be moving.

Still flat as a pancake for me. Need to relist my last tarot deck at some point (the last one I'm selling, anyway) but it was up mistakenly for a week (that's the last time I try the 'scheduling' trick for a while!!!) and four watchers but no bids suggest either it ended too late (easily fixed with a relist at the right sort of time tonight, probably once Wimbledon finishes) or that I may need to think about starting it at 99p plus postage rather than keeping with inclusive.

Can those of you who are struggling, please let me know what you're trying to sell so I can pick up some cheap bargains!

Sudden flurry for me today after the tennis finished. Phew.

Same here, the earlier 'small flurry' turned into some major bidding after the tennis and I have some decent sales to wrap and post this morning.

I was so encouraged I even listed some more stock on ebid- just in case they get any stray bidders who have got lost and stumbled into there by accident.

- back to wrapping

Again, absolutely dead after listing a lot of varied items. Depressing !

Thank heavens back to almost normal here on my business account, suddenly lots of bids on stuff and for the past 2 days I have sold 100% of my things (not much listed at moment though) and I have stuff finishing tonight with bids in on everything. In fact even the Wednesday items all have bids apart from one item. Not so good on the private account, but I don't mind as much for that stuff as I am only decluttering.

Incidentally it is usual for my business goods to attract bids throughout the auctions, it is not usual for me to only get bids at last moment as I am selling collectables and antiques and as so much goes on the first bid people tend to bid as soon as they see it.

Taken the plunge and listed a load of DVDs on my Amazon account after yesterday's first sale. I've also found some books I want to get rid of which are not just available for a penny.
