    yes parcel prices are changing, it's a size thing again, small parcels will be £3 if under 1kg but can't think what the size is now!

    Welcome to the challenge guys :D lovely to have you join!! It does help me to keep on track and motivated by using this thread and i hope it helps you too!

    With the increase in postage fees and the general pain in the bum that ebay can be i have started my own selling pages on fb (actually started one a while ago but not used it too much) so thats another option for you all as well :D

    Don't forget to let me know if you have a target for the rest of April re number of items to make vanish :)
