I have just been counting up my NPB since the new year.

I have had 13 so far since January and I only sell about 100 items per month!!!! (might have another one soon if you look at my other post)

So do I win? How many NPB's has everyone else had this year?

    Well, I sell about 600 items per month, and I'm just reporting my 2nd. I'd guess that if you sell in more 'public' orientated categories, you'll get more.

    Exclamation and question marks - ONE exclamation mark or question mark is sufficient to exclaim or ask about something. More than one just makes you look/sound like a prat.
    Should OF, would OF    . Dear oh dear. You really should have, or should've listened at school when that nice English teacher was explaining how words get abbreviated.

    The majority of items that I sell are action figures, but I also sell film memorobilia and retro household items. All of my NPB have been for action figures so far.

    sold aprox 100 items this year so far and I've had one NPB (an American) and I have started 2 others both of whom paid as soon as I opened the dispute.

    I don't usually get many at all so this was unusual for me. I'm also being much stricter though about adding people to my blocked buyer lists and both those that paid only after I opened a dispute have been added.

    6 so far, i feel like i'm letting the side down.

    i think i might sell exclusively to america, that should put me in the lead in no time!
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    I have had three, looking forward to more with the new feedback, as only three non paying strikes will stop them now. Oh joy!! Never had any before this new feedback system was invoked!!
