enjoying good sales while I can!

There is definitely something afoot with ebay- even more than all the faffing with passwords and other annoying glitches. I have had a very slow few days, yet from about 11am this morning I am selling steadily- across all sorts of items and with a mix of UK and overseas buyers.

Traditionally Saturday is slow for me, I would normally expect sales tomorrow going into the evening but this is very odd- I've just done some bulk listing in case there are suddenly buyers about and sold one BIN within 15 minutes of listing.

No dout it will all die again shortly, but I am enjoying it while i can!

    Well done soolin.

    I only sell occasionally but am trying to sell some dog food.

    With no interest at all!

    Same here, 6 sales in the past few hours. Might not seem like a lot, but compared with some of the days recently, it's brilliant

    Maybe our shop doors have changed colour ;)
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D

    Are you listing directly onto EBay ? I am listing on Auctiva and scheduling everything to start later.

    I list direct as I have templates- I closed my auctiva account when they started charging.

    Well, at least I got a dozen or so new listings up which nowadays I consider an achievement with all the glitches.:(

    Anyone would think ebay don't actually like us trying to run a business on their site
