Jack - you're a star.

Many thanks.

I just got approached via one item on the site for a price for the whole pack of my stuff - & he's bought it, so a good day all round.

Still a long way to go before I can afford the school fees, but it's a start!

why not e mail the bidders and tell them about this site, then they dont need to buy them and the seller wont make any money.

I tried that once Dave, it worked for a couple of people, but then I was reported to ebay and my account was banned by ebay

The item was removed in the end though and I have never seen it again

Re Jack's earl;ier posting:-

Well done folks, one down only another few hundred (per week) to go

I went to check and see how the sale was going on ebay, this is what came up.

Just happened to come across the fact that this seller 'is no longer a registered user' whilst looking at someone's feedback today.

i dont understand how they can ban you , do they check all e mails you send to people

I think the people that I sent the emails to, even though they accepted what I said and removed their bid, reported me for being a bit underhand. I did send off emails complaining to ebay themselves also, but maybe took it too far.

That's the only explantion I have.

In fact, here is what one chap said to me believe it or not...

Just to inform you, bonsaiwhitey has been doing this kind of stuff for ages. I want nothing to do with it and i have reported you for harrassment.

Even though I was very polite and tried to save the guy some money.
