Been ages since I've sold on Fleabay! Didn't know about the free listings. Not taken much notice!

I should try and get more. Wonder how many are on here. :cool:

Oh, I didn't notice. *** Hears distant thunder and hides under table awaiting lightning bolt ***

Seriously though, Fleabay and associated costs probably take at least 15% from you AND then the postage fees. When you see some listings it looks like the only ones making money are Fleabay and PayChum

bubbs

We have not had any in stock for a few days:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

We also have an errant child who only phones when something needs sorting. We also have an admiral multi-car policy. We are also going to be empty nesters soon, the "baby" only arrived home from uni in September, got a graduate job in December and him and GF are looking to rent a flat together shortly.

Anyone know what happens to a multi-car policy when one car moves out?

when they put the child into your arms in the maternity unit they don't tell you the real truth, that this is the easy stage and much worse is to come :rotfl:

With our multicar policy whenever a car has gone we have just rung them up and the excess car is taken off and the extra premiums are refunded back to the original card you paid with - your debit card.
Assuming you pay your premiums all in one vast lump each year?

I have a Freephone number for admiral if you need it.

Also ring Admiral later in the afternoon. Whenever I ring them I ring late afternoon and you get put through to a nice person in the call centre in Canada and you have a fun conversation about the weather across the pond and St Patricks day etc
Its much more of a novelty talking to someone in Canada than in south wales

I agree. I'm keeping the one's I've got so far for gifts.

It just makes me wonder how some people who sell on Fleabay make any money with the costs being so high??

Especially as a lot of items on there are 99p free delivery! How do they do that??

£10 - 10% = £1 eBay fee.
- 3.5% +20p = 55p PayPal fee
- postal cost, I normally send Signed for at £3.95.
- packaging my bags cost 13p each normally.
So it would cost me £5.63 if I sold something for £10.

Hth.

I wondered if you could have the multi-car at different addresses. As stupid as it sounds, DS2's car was cheaper to insure with me agreeing to put mine on from renewal (and including the renewal on mine) than it was for him to insure on his own. So him moving out would mean they would ask for money to take me off the policy rather than give a refund!

I don't understand why the birdie travel packs can be listed for £24.25 when they are only 9.99 in SD. Do people pay anything just because its Fleabay?
