Make sure you check out postage charges! I took the stuff I'm gonna list this weekend to the post office today to get actual prices and make sure I didn't under charge, and I'm shocked at how much things will cost. Lightweight stuff that I would have charged £3 at a guess will actually cost £5.65 to send :eek:Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

I know, I am marking things up at the moment. I tell folks I will refund if it is more. Sometimes, I do. haha
That was a joke. I am considering charging 6.00 postage for everything and popping a caveat on saying I will refund if postage is less.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Jeez the price of postage is shocking :eek:. It puts me off buying on e-bay and stops me listing as it just too expensive.

debtfreewannabe321, soapnuts are a different beast altogether. Have tried them & you need a really hot wash to get them to work.
Mind you, you can use them to make your own shampoo & handsoap.Never Knowingly Understood.
