There aren't too many nutters, so you should get good feedback as long as you package well, post promptly and don't rip people off for packaging etc.

I've actually had a few really nice comments of late, like the guy who sent me a message thanking me for packaging up some Simpsons DVDs securely as they were for his boy's Christmas A few pounds for me, but hours of entertainment for a happy Christmas kiddy :rudolf:

Thanks BW for link, very useful.

Ed - Tigers also spitting image of his mum. Although he behaves more like a puppy, follows you everywhere and has an inability to walk, its run or jump for him, DD1 gets him to follow her round the house, just to see how daft he is, hes more than happy to do her bidding. His sibling Crunchie is much more sensible and just looks on.

Ammomite - Also had some really really nice feedback, which is especially nice on collection only items as it makes it more personal. I try to list things so the buyer has absolutely no doubt what they are getting, have £8 now on blanket box with 35 watchers, but my description i think is very honest. Refunded £2 postage last week due to over estimate, thought about keeping it but felt quite mean.

Been harsh mum today as DD2 and DD3 broke shower attachment in my gorgeous bath on monday and this isnt the first time recently they have broken something due to fighting or being silly (broken video camera earlier in year by videoing each other on trampoline!!). So they are on a weeks TV / laptop ban, and have been to b and q and replaced and split the cost between them. I must say both took it well, as both knew I was absolutely furious and had told them that they would be paying for replacement between them. It makes me so mad when I desperately try and save money and they dont respect stuff. DD1 is currently on dish washer duty and Im surprised I have any plates left! I suppose bad move asking moody teenager to do anything that they could damage, plus every day its a battle, but determined she will do whilst its her chore.

Been to fireworks tonight, cost us £10.50 (for 5) but included food (as much as wanted) and any profits went to my dads allottment committee so very happy with that. Kids definitely ate their moneys worth! Although to be fair, so did we!

Currently can't list any more items as have maxed! Although only 4 items will definitely sell. Noticed FLW a few moments ago and relisted all my non selling over 99p items. DD1 spotted item though which may have to remove as claims she still uses.

I'm in complete awe at how much you have listed, I have only re-listed my last two (of original six items) that remain unsold.

I overcharged on posting last week - by accident - and felt really stressed about it as I had ripped off the buyer by £2. A work colleague told me not to be so daft as the buyer had bid knowing the postage costs, however having read that you have refunded do you think it's too late for me to do similar?

Your fireworks outing sounds great by the way, lovely yummy food:D

I can see both sides. So, do the sensible thing - check to see if they've given you feedback. If so, forget it. If not then I would refund :cool:.

Oakydoaky, just checked on ebay and I can't see any feedback, however it says on my summary 'awaiting feedback (0)':huh: Regardless, I do want to refund this guy the £2, so I take it I just go into paypal, refund him then send an email letting him know?

Yes you have the option to do a full or partail refund. You are a very kind, caring person

i know i'm a bit late to the [STRIKE]party[/STRIKE] chicken discussion but i have been known to shred it and freeze in 2 people portions, so that it can be defrosted and use for all sorts of things - pie, curry, fajita etc. If you freeze it in curry sauce it can only ever be a curry, whereas if you freeze it as plain ol' chicken the possibilities are endless.

A popular pie filling in chez pavlov is raggedy bits of chicken, raggedy bits of bacon and the onion sprouting in the veg basket all bound together in a sauce made from a can of condensed soup. Have used cream of mushroom, cream of chicken and cream and wine in the past. Of the 3, cream and wine is probably my favourite but might be a bit rich for the kids? We either have it as a traditional pie, or if I can't be bothered to faff about with pastry it goes well with rice too.

No worries GG, Still worried but I do feel was honest description, sold for £22. Whit Woo. Lady coming tomorrow and hope shes happy. did get asked for a BIN price and was tempted to say £5

Relisted up to max with a few new items from loft. Made just short of £30 today and have stuff finishing nearly everyday. Feel like some saddo but its all stuff we'd chuck so lets go for it. Have parcelled 2 and waiting for rest to pay. 7 sales today.

I think Ill refund only if more than £1 out, seems reasonable, esp as most of my items are 99p stuff. Im sure you'll be fine NP, as they know exactly what the total will be, I have just accepted my errors the other way.

I love this forum and think youre all kind and caring people!!
