    Mortgage-free Glee!
    I also don't leave feedback until I've received it as it does make a difference as to how many you receive. Once an item appears in your not sold list the option to relist is there and you can relist as many times as it takes to sell.
    Mr T has had one of my favourite wines reduced to £4 so I've been stocking up :D

    I've had no wine tonight at all, not too sure whether I'm feeling a bit bleurrghh with possible lurgy or whether the £2.99 wine just doesn't cut the mustard and I need to go back to my usual £10 but for half-price bottles.......

    Try THIS Nats, lovely :)

    Happy ebaying :)

    Hurray!!! One of my items has a wee bidding war started so feeling much happier about selling at previous muchos bargain price:j

    Thanks Twinny for feedback information, I'll just have to be patient and build up my eb*y kudos slowly.

    GG - will definitely try the Ald* recommended wine. My remaining £2.99 bottle and a bit can be used in my pasta sauce (not all at once of course;))

    I think this morning will be spent obsessively checking eb*y - although I have just answered a question when the information was on the body of the listing text, and under brand:p Ah well, shows interest from a potential bidder so all good:D

    Happy Saturday:grinheart
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D

    Just checked eb*y again and got all excited......I had another 3 new bidders and the item had gone up by almost another £6!!!!!!!!! Then I realised that I was in my 'watched' items and had clicked on my rival eb*y seller:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

    It won't be long before you forget all about it till you get an email saying your item has sold :rotfl:.

    Yes, but right now it's a BRAND NEW hobby for me, and for the first time I can actually log-on without having to look up my ever-so-complicated username and password;)

    Today's List;

    Check eb*y every 10/15 seconds (until 'ends' 11am)
    Check, re-check, and further re-check finances and order TB
    Have shower
    Get dressed
    Take pooch out
    Go out for lunch NUMNUMNUM (apparently being paid for by DD:D)
    Avoid any supermarkets
    Music on and clear out then tidy up utility room (including sweeping up leaves which have blown in from garden)
    Unload / reload dishwasher blah, blah, blah

    :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

    Just made my first ever EBS!!! I have contacted the buyer to thank her, sent and invoice and will post first thing on Monday morning. Is there anything else I should do?

    So, so happy!!!! I have a dress ending in 52 mins with 4 watchers and 1 bid, otherwise everything else looks like a re-listing at some point tomorrow.

    NP:D

    Nope nothing else, well done. I think it is a lot easier than people think. As long as you describe the item properly, have a decent picture and answer any questions promptly, it's a great way of making a few quid:)
