  • So close to 10%! I was there but I received a message today saying that an item I sent was used (face cream in a tube). I!!!8217;m mortified as it definitely wasn!!!8217;t. I think because one of the four tubes had a seal she is presuming that the rest have been used. I!!!8217;ve explained that they were not used and issued a full refund but I!!!8217;m really worried that she will decided to leave negative feedback. A bummer when you work so hard to represent items well and make some pennies :(

    Little baby steps! Still haven't touched the money in my paypal. Cutting it a bit fine with my budget this month so concerned I may need to dip a toe in.

    I need to check to see when I'm getting the £100 for switching bank. Might message them now so I have a time frame.
