     if your serious about selling get a courier on board.

    More info please, which courier and how much do they charge? Is it much dearer than Royal Mail?

    Regarding brown paper from Wilkinsons. I tend to buy the rubble sacks from Morrisons. Usually £1.50 for 5 but I usually wait until they're on 2-4-1 and get a few.

    More durable than brown paper and waterproof :)

    Hope this helps,

    Be Careful .....when looking at a bidding list whether past or current and you see a username with no feedback its usually the seller bumping up his Auction ::)

    Good Luck ;)

    That's a massive generalisation Sues_clan!  :o

    Over the past few weeks I have had several zero feedback bidders on my auctions.

    Thankfully, the majority have either been out bid or have turned out to be genuine buyers at the end, but it's wrong to say that zero feedback bidders are usually the seller. In some unscrupulous cases it may be true, but in my case and in many others it is most certainly not.

    I would advise buyers to follow the excellent advice that you yourself gave on the advice to sellers board here:

    http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Ebay;action=display;num=1088971686;start=15#15

    to ensure a hassle free auction.

    Sues_Clan - after re-reading my original post, I think I came across as a lot more obnoxious than I intended.

    Obviously I was having a bad hair day. ::)

    Thank you for apologising, but I feel that it is I who should apologise for my tone and for being oversensitive!

    I save money on placingd images on my selling items by using paint shop pro (similar to photoshop) to merge two photos in to one. it can mean that the image is slightly smaller, but it does mean that you can put more than one view of your item in place of one (hence free!!)

    HTH, Chris
