    I had a bad experience on eBay with someone in Italy who bid for my leather jacket even I specifically said I don’t ship outside the UK. She wouldn’t give in or release her bid so I had no option but to sell to her. To be fair she did pay for the extra shipping but it was all hassle I could’ve done without. The same thing happened with a top I sold, only from Sainsbury’s, someone in the Caribbean wanted to buy it. It actually cost them more in shipping than I paid for it!

    Pretty shocking, you have done well not to just ignore them!

    I'd block them now. 
    I’m just conscious of negative feedback! What if she bid the price and won? 🤦🏼‍♀️

    I was selling a jacket for my dad last week and someone in Israel asked me to quote shipping. It was about £50 so I said I couldn’t get a price as nowhere was reasonable. He was thankful thankfully.

    If you block her she cant then bid on it.  She sounds like trouble!

    What if she wins then complains that it's faulty or something like that though?

    What a weird and wonderful day I’ve ended up having today.

    DD had a lazy morning followed by her swimming lesson and then we went to have her ears pierced. She happily sat and let them do it and then I had my nose pierced! I’ve always wanted it done and this was my chance. 

    I’ve rearranged the conservatory and cleaned it out, dropped off some jars to a lady for candle making and reusing and then got DD her school shoes. Ex visited for a couple of hours and after he left I collected some bits from my sisters that she has forgotten. 

    I’ve packed all the clothes ready to go, done the ironing, prepped some bits and now I’m relaxing with a shandy. I have a few last minute bits to do/pack tomorrow and then I’m off ready to go. 

    The rabbits have been cleaned and I’ll do a quick top up and check tomorrow before I leave them. 

    I’m going to pack up the rest of the bits in a minute that can be packed up. I’ve made DD a packed lunch for the car ready too. 

    Have a good evening everyone x

    It was a quick sting but then ok. DD was fab. I keep catching mine now and forgetting I’ve got one in. DD is cleaning her quite methodically so she’s taking it seriously. I’ll swap mine out for a tiny one when I can. I got the smallest one but I still think it’s a little too big.
