Nooooooooooo.......... not unless you count the sales I'm getting through the cross promotions and the bargains I am bidding for from other sellers and my plea to the management to include news of it somewhere, anywhere, soon

I haven't asked the buyers any questions so I can't answer that. Items are selling and not all of them are part of the 1NR promotion.

Bearing in mind that the promotional period isn't due to end until 15 December, perhaps we should have a review in early January.

I didn't know that. Mine will still be running after that date but I'll change them back to NYK codes and update the appropriate websites

I am coming to the conclusion that I might as well withdraw ALL my lots and sell them down the boot fair! As I would easily get a £1 for each item! Only thing stopping me is the fact its rained for the past 4 week ends or I've been busy!

I'm sorry Nosty, but I have to agree with you, people would probably pay £1 or even £2 at a boot fair for the items you have listed in the promotion but they would not pay £1 + £2.50-£4 to have them posted.

Actaully I agree with you!! (Shock Horror!) I made a vow to myself early in my selling days that (As I tend to sell watches most of the time) That I would send everything recorded mail! therefore with Packing costs as well I thought £2.50 was a fair price to send a watch insured through the post BUT On the 99p promotion most of the stuff are not watches therefore maybe I should look at the postage prices again...trouble is I have some Soapstone models on sale and I actually LOSE money on the postage of those as theyare so damned heavy!

And never stop selling Recorded Mail
I learnt my lesson on eBay many months ago sending things Standard Parcel...Big Mistake when it comes to PayPal and a Buyer Claiming the item was not received....
...Worst of all is when PayPal send you an e-mail saying 'If you haven't posted the item yet, please don't' 2 WEEKS AFTER it was posted :@

People will pay to have things posted and they will also pay more than the shop prices when -
The item is not available in the nearest shop or
They think that the postage is cheaper than the petrol and parking ticket or
They are unable to leave the house for some reason or
They like to shop in comfort - no screaming kids, ghastly music or runaway shopping trollies.

Whilst it may be true that some things can be bought cheaper at a boot fair, at this time of year many fairs have closed for the season.
