I put one book on ebay once.... took me an hour to select categories, take a photo, write a description, make all the choices it offers you about this, that and the other.... how long did listing that lot take??

It took a couple of hours, but their are 2 of us, one taking/uploading pictures and the other writing listings. But it is a lot, wish there was an easier way.

I would say, in my defence, the book I was selling had a silver/tin foil like front cover. It was like a mirror.... so to take a photo of it I had to run down a flight of stairs, out into the back garden, lay it on a table, clamber onto one of the garden chairs, then angle the camera/book so the sky was reflected in the book cover ..... so not "just any book".

And then I had to take the floppy disk out of the camera and transfer the image onto the PC.

Floppy disk?

For future reference it's an SD card, both have a huge difference in storage capacity.

Don't be too quick to judge. IIRC Early Sony Mavica digital cameras had floppy disk drives.

Interesting! Do you do QMEE? it is a search thing you can have on chrome ,IE or I think firefox. When you search on ebay & amazon it sometimes pays in pennies (typically 5/6/7 at a time) and you can cash out via paypal almost instantly. I generally get about 3 paid searches from it at around 15-18p a day but although it is only pennies, it might help boost the coffers in case of any shortfalls and every penny counts.
