I have put on the actual item that it is COD, but ebay will not allow me to take the paypal option off the item as I don't have enough feed back yet, but it does say COD only in main bit of blurb on item and I am hoping that people will stick to it

If they make a paypal payment just refund it.

As a seller, I hate paypal, they really don't offer much protection and with all the new rules re sellers not being able to give feedback coming in soon, it leaves the door right open to the scammers to just run ebay into the ground. I currently have about 70 items on ebay, they end this weekend and I think after that my selling days are over cos i'm fed up of trying not to be scammed and giving ebay/paypal inflated profits for using them.

I sold a buy-it-now for €8.99 today :beer: I've only got one item left on there at the moment, so thi weekend I'm going to try and get another 20 items listed, although I'll need to go digging round to find some stuff first :rolleyes:

everyone is doing so well! think im starting my items too low and its putting people off. got 19 items on there at the moment 9 of which have both an auction price and also a buy it now price so hopefully i can shift these (2 have got 2 watchers each so im hopefully). cant believe ive made almost £150 already, cant even remember what half the stuff was!
does anyone have a date they would like to meet their target? my bday is 19th aug and i would love it if i could have made my £1000 by then, only 15 weeks away!! off to get more on.

I don't have a date set, but ASAP! I've been starting everything off at a fair price with a BIN price too, and sold 3 pairs of shoes in one day... I might not be asking enough for them, but at least I've got some money
Good luck the 19th Aug. deadline

I don't know how low your items are, but I start all mine at 99p and I've sold at all sorts of prices from 99p to £850.00. It's a chance you take, starting low, but I think it mostly encourages people to bid.
Anyway, good luck

Having a great day today. My first ebay sale came to collect their item today, £60 cash. We also sold our old dining room furniture in the local paper for £80. Finally I took some of the kids clothes and toys to the local NCT Nearly new sale today and I reckon I've made about £80 there, and a lady wants me to contact her about the reuseable nappies I have in the loft.

What a great day, and I have plenty of watchers on my 37 ebay listings.
Hope everyone else does really well this weekend.
