I HATE BT! £124.99 to activate a bloomin' phone line. No wonder she's desperate to rent the house out however, the phone line was cancelled in April 2006! Must have been when she moved out.

Thanks for the house insurance reminder, next thing I need to sort out!

Hi Tracey,

On the upload items page there is an "upload selected items" button or it is in the upload menu. I think they stay there for as long as you want...

urgh ok I feel really grim today - gonna go chase lo with hoover in the lonuge and then go get food.

take care everyone.

Stairs and landing clear and hoovered, pic d/ling of Billy as I type!

Also took pics of other ebay stuff while I had the camera out.

Tracey04 your items will stay in turbolister forever. To just upload 5 at a time simply highlight the ones you want and click 'add to upload' then click on the 'waiting to upload' tab which will take you to the list of items you want to upload now. I always click on the 'calculate fees' tab at the top just to make sure I have not selected something silly which costs a fortune and once I am happy with that I click 'upload all' and bingoyou have a live listing

When I first started ebaying I used to click each listing from 'my ebay' just to be absolutely sure it looked right with the right pic etc etc HTH
