    Default made a sale in the middle of the sea.

    Would you believe it ? I havent sold anything for goodness knows how long so I closed all my auctions while I am on my way to France.When I arrive in France I find an email saying there is a paypal payment in my account. It's for something that has been on a buy it now for a while, but which was with the rest of cancelled stuff. Looking at the timing, it sold just about the time I was on the ferry crossing. Luckily I have the item here with me so I went straight out to the French post office and sent it. It's my first sale as a seller+ so I'm chuffed. now I will list some more ,but only lightweight stuff because of the postage.

    Interesting! See that will teach you NOT to close your auctions. Ebid is a fine auction site if you are prepared to list and wait!

    I sold about 14 Items in the two weeks I was on holidays at the start of Oct! Then when I returned Nothing for the last two weeks! Weird or what!

    The answer is WE all Should just go on holiday 52 weeks a year! Simple!

    You know what they say about a "watched kettle never boils". Things only seem to sell when you're not checking on your sales 500 times a day!
