Thanks for that Fairyclicks. Think I may make myself a template of the parcel size, got a feeling there's going to be a few mistakes the first couple of weeks, hopefully not too costly.

Great idea to make a template :T ... I think i will copy you and do the same ..

Eb@y sales came to 30.05 happy with that, and the extra makes up for the pathetic attempt last month.
Everyone has paid up as well, a real surprise. Although someone bought a jigsaw puzzle (wasjig) and asked me to pay for the postage in stamps as they can make money from selling the stamps as well, anyone know what he is talking about?

yep - used stamps sell well on ebay, well, depends on who is buying at the time and they like to buy by weight. There are collectors out there who will buy job lot stamps and weed through them for the ones they want. They like stamps from abroad etc.

It's a UK address and looking at their feedback all they seem to buy is wasjig puzzles. About 20 in the last month alone.
They must have a good market for them because they bought mine for over three pounds and then the postage.

Good luck I say!

Another couple of zippy zero days for me ... I seem to have stalled somewhat

I was thinking of declaring seeing as we've only a couple of days left for this month - but I've decided to use the free listing weekend to best advantage and put on some 3 day listings today - then anything that doesn't sell can be relisted on Monday on a 5 day listing so they finish next weekend

I've also got some good news ... I am joining the ranks of others in the Gang, who've recently had job offers .... and I start my new job next week :j:j

Hmmmm, that reminds me - I'll need to change my Target for April's challenge as I'll be earning more than I've set, would be a little naughty

I'll need to revert to the usual "earn extra" instead of using it to "replace" income

Hope everyone is still moving forward with their targets

Well done on the new job GA!

Nothing more to add for me - got lazy brain at the mo! Did use a 400 nectar points coupon at Mr S before which is equivalent to £2 but won't add now, will add when we redeem the points, up to £16 on the account now so should probably cash them in soon.

Nothing to add for me today. I have probably done for March I am thinking, unless I win the Euro millions :rotfl:
