Getting back on track

jwil

I've had a £10.19 payment from a survey co into Paypal, that was a nice surprise as I wasn't expecting it.

I've also had a partial refund from a seller who sent me the wrong item, it's packaging material that I can use, but did not order, so I'm happy about that, I've just got to still get the item I did want after all! (They offered the partial, I didn't ask for it).

Withdrawn £58 from paypal so am happy with that. Got to try and pop some more on now!

You are doing so well and sounding really positive jwil which is great to hear

It is so good when you start to see a difference in your home when you are clearing out - i always feel it gets worse before it gets better but i remember a while ago you had that stage so its good you can see real progress now - and are benefiting financially from it and helping the charity out too :T

I agree it is motivating when you can see the difference your efforts are making

Well done on the money made too :T

Thanks DDFW

Well, I've been a busy bee this afternoon.

39 Listings done :T :T

Dinner prepared for tomorrow and Thursday, eggs boiled to make pickled eggs for DH _pale_

Phoned dentist as I'd had a reminder to book an appt, to be told I don't need one, yay! As I have to pay again now so wasn't looking forward to it.

Going to stop the listing now and get on with other things.

I've had a weird message from someone on ebay asking me to bid on something for them as I'll post abroad and the person selling won't. I'm not going to, but I'm a bit wary about upsetting the person as they haven't received my item yet :think:

How in the name of all that is holy do you manage to do that many in an afternoon?! *Picks jaw up from floor and bows in awe*

That is weird. I would pretend that I hadn't seen it until the auction was finished.

Well done you. I can't believe how well you are doing. :T

39 very similar items I used 'sell similar' and only had to change the photo and title on each one.

With my weird ebay message, I'd misread it. They had bid on and won the items, and the seller was refusing to post them despite previously agreeing it. So they wanted to send them to a UK address (me) as they thought it was the foreign address that was the problem.

I did politely say no, and it seems to have been accepted thankfully! I did say that it looks like they didn't get enough for them so probably wouldn't send them to me anyway as they had well overpriced postage so a 99p item plus fees on the large postage would have given them a loss.

jwil

Not much to report for me today. Trying to catch up with surveys, I've gotten behind on them and could do with some more amazon vouchers.

My non payer apparently still having payment problems :rolleyes: so I will close the case later today, I'm not prepared to wait any longer.

jwil

Just a reminder to my fellow ebayers about the postal prices going up from April

We probably better start thinking about adjusting them for listings fairly soon, especially for 10 day listings.

Good news is that small parcels 1-2kg are cheaper :T

Oooh, I've just redeemed £50 from You Gov :j :j

That will be handy when it arrives. I was about to post that I only needed 35 points so would probably stop getting surveys, when another popped into my inbox
