    Hello everyone, hope you are all well :)

    I'm feeling a bit rubbish at the moment, very down and my anxiety keeps rearing it's head :(

    Hopefully it will pass soon.

    We had a good weekend on ebay, DH sold a lot of stuff, and is clearing a lot of bulky stuff, which he's getting some jaw-dropping prices for :T :T Just hoping all goes well, and that it keeps his motivation going to clear some more :D I sold quite a few long standing items this weekend as well so am pleased with that.

    I've got someone trying to get a refund for something I sold. It was a bundle and they say it is damaged, but have only sent a photo of a small part of it (which is admittedly damaged) but the rest is absolutely fine. I've told them to return it, but they keep messaging asking me to just refund as it's 'not worth returning'. Well it's worth it to me, and I'm paying return postage so I'm losing out, not them! :mad:

    What an absolute pain! Partial refund for that one item? eBay is brilliant but some buyers are such total bums. If they are refusing to return the items then it's a stalemate - they won't get anywhere.

    Sorry you're feeling low. It's January though. It's happening to all of us. You're still having big wins making the big sales. Focus on that. You're doing fantastic. Xxx

  • It's the January blues, I felt a bit bleh yesterday afternoon and this morning. We need a bit of spring and lighter days.

    Stay firm on the ebay issue, some people are a nightmare to deal with :mad:

    Yes, I've told them they need to send them back. The return will time out if they don't. :D

    I think it is partly time of year, but it's been going on for a while now. Roll on the spring!
