  • Oh well if you are going to move the goal posts :p of course it makes sense to let it lapse!

    Thank you everyone for your support :D

    I'm going to miss the gym (never thought I'd ever say that sentence :o) but at this moment in time, I'd miss the money more.

    Good Morning :)

    Thank you for all your advice yesterday. I love that you can come on here and so many people answer. You are brilliant :A

    Another day, another dollar. Well another ebay sale anyway :) Things aren't going for much but at least they are out of my house and a little bit in my paypal account. I have a feeling you are supposed to transfer a certain amount to avoid a paypal fee but I can't remember how much?? Anyone know?? I want to transfer some over but have to remember ebay fees and avoid paypal fees :eek: so I have no idea what the minimum is.

    Another cash for clothes bag full and collection requested. I doubt I'll get very much for this bag but even if it is a fiver, it's a fiver in my pocket :)

    Have a great day and stay warm

  • Hi freeby,

    I think you've made the right decision about the gym,especially considering your new working hours.

    Hope you've had a good day and are still wearing your determined knickers!:)

    Ohhhh - well done on the sale:)

    This "best offer" thing is new to me since I last bought /sold :eek: not sure if I like it or not TBH ..... OK if people are sensible but I've just had an offer of £5 for something I've got listed as a BIN for £9.99 ... sorry but 50% under just seems a little ... off ... to me anyway.

    I did one where someone was selling something for £4.98 (trade seller with multiple items) and took 2 @ £4.00 each ... that seems reasonable to me! (20% off)

    Would be interested to know re the PP transfers too!:)

    The best offer thing is new to me too, can you turn it down or are you obliged to accept it?

  • The best offer thing is new to me too, can you turn it down or are you obliged to accept it?

    I *think* it depends on how you set it up - I did 2 and the first one I'd said I'd accept any offer over £30 (and got an offer of that:j) and it's automatically completed the sale

    Not sure if I put something similar on the 2nd one :obut someone's sent me an offer of £5 - which I'm not going to accept, so I've sent them a counter-offer back of £7.50 (1/2 way between asking price & offer price)

    Ahh that's good you can refuse or set reserve - was worried it would force you to accept silly offers. Thanks :D and good luck!

    Good Morning :)

    Just flying in before I head off to work.

    Nothing new to report this morning, which can be a good thing :) or a bad thing :(

    Oh, I went to fat club last night and I put on another half a pound :mad: Still not at the paying again stage yet though :) but I am going to be an angel of a weight watcher this week.
    I have my pedometer on and I will walk 10,000 steps today. Even if I have to walk round in circles for hours :rotfl:

    Have a great hump day everyone, nearly Friday :)
