    Sorry to be nosy, Lioness, but with your totals always showing a dollar sign I wondered whether you live somewhere outside UK:think:

    I also managed to list 12 items on the Bay on Thursday all BINs and have sold 4 alreadyGood luck for what ever you are doing over the weekend

    That's brilliant, mavvymoo:T

    One of the reasons I stopped doing eBay was having to wait for auctions to take their course only for items not to sell:(. Have only done BINs twice for items where I knew pretty much how much they would fetch and had no probs deciding the asking price. Don't you find it hard to decide a BIN price that won't put people off?

    Thank you :) I either check out completed listings and see what similar items have sold for. Or just take a punt put it at price which is a bit more than I think its worth and put best offer on. All mine have got best offer on then you can decide if you want to accept or decline it :D Sometimes you get really silly offers which I decline and then block them so they cant re offer.
    I always used to sell on auction but now I never bother but its really each to there own :D
    But E*ay is not what it used to be sadly and the fees are pretty high now This is the last lot of stuff I need to sell and TBH honest once this has gone I dont think I will bother again.
    Like X factor I think it has had its day :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
