I've relisted the same items so many times and although lots of watchers no sales. Well when I do sell I get a NPB :mad:
Our lives are still taken up with doctors and hospital appts and even more ailments for OH but we mudde through.
I'm still Lurkalot :rotfl:
Lovely to see you retired
I've been wondering how you were. Hope all is ok.
Ebay can be such an annoyance sometimes it's unreal. I've quite often found that tweaking a listing a little can result in a sale of something that hasn't been moving.
Things like switching to free post (and adjusting the start price) or adding postage to something that was previously free, or even halving the postage cost and adding the rest on to the starting price can even work too.
Do pop in and say hello

I've done another 24 listings today, so that's me halfway for the monthly target.
I've also sold an item, but have messed up the postage so given it away for free (and made a loss after fees) :mad: Oh well.
Well done on all the listings! :T
Sorry about messing up postage on a sale

Hi All,
Urgh jwil it is annoying when the postage is not right but hopefully it'll give you good bay of e karma
Annoyingly i agreed to a partial refund - there was nothing wrong with the item i sent but i figured it was cheaper to do the partial refund rather than full amount
i still feel it is the buyers who are sided with 
I have another NPB too
Hoping to make a dent in my 31 items today as i at least now have found a couple of bits to list :TCC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000 -
Well it's crazy, but I've had an email from ebay inviting me to free listing again this weekend! Up to 200 items.
I had to accept it, but have managed to do it on all 3 accounts :T
I won't be listing much but will get everything relisted again.
I've done a fair bit of sorting today, including little jwil's old clothes
It doesn't seem like 5 mins since he was wearing it all!
We are going to do a car boot tomorrow, so that added 3 boxes to it. Fingers crossed we'll do alright, it should be busy as it's meant to be good weather tomorrow!
Have a good weekend everyone

I've agreed to a partial refund before, only if I don't think the buyer is trying it on. If they are arsey then they have to return it, and I'd rather be out of pocket.
I've got another NPB as well :mad:
Good luck with the listings!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Wow, you have soooo much stuff listed on ebay. :T
Good luck with the car boot sale - I really need to do one but I need someone to help me. My usually helper, DD2, now works on a Sunday morning. I plan to do one around Easter time.
Hope you do well tomorrow, Jwil.

Oh year, a nice mooch around a car boot sale is one my favourite spring/summer activities. Great for DVDs and books especially.:)0
