Selling on Ebay, Working From Home

This Guide has lots of tips on how to get started selling on Ebay.It's NOT aimed at peoplewho want to buy pallets of Mobile Phones or Laptops and make a million in a week - there are plenty of e-books to tell you about that ( and for only ONE PENNY!!)

So youve bought some bargains from Ebay and can find your way round. You understand how Feedback works, you have a Paypal account and youve started looking round your house speculatively, wondering what you could sell to make a profit. It suits you to earn a little money working from home, you need the flexibility and have a bit of space. You are ready to start learning how to become a Seller!

Consider selling clothes or toys to start with every house has stuff surplus to requirements. Be aware that you can sell your own stuff without breaking any rules, but the moment you buy something with the intention of selling it for a profit, you are effectively running a business and must register with the Inland Revenue. Local Business Links can give very good advice about this.
You need some space just for selling space to store things, space to store packing materials and space for your computer, paper, pens, etc. The good news is you dont need much - Desk or table for the computer, big bookshelf for packing stuff and a few plastic or even cardboard boxes to store items.
You need a camera or camera phone that takes good pictures. Dont bother selling anything without a means of taking photos and getting them easily onto your computer. Preferably take 3 or 4 photos per item, showing all the best bits and any damage or makers marks/labels. Always put your photo first, then a few lines of text explaining it underneath. As children, we learn to read by looking at a picture and then reading the word underneath, so a listing is clearer in that format.
Do your research before you even take a photo look up in Completed Items what your item actually sold for. A good tip is to filter the results (box at the right hand side) in order of Highest first so that you can see the best price your item sold for. Be careful to compare like with like for instance if a Silver Cross pram usually sells for 200, check yours is exactly the same model, with the same attachments, in the same condition.
Most sales on Ebay are made after people have searched for a particular item. This means your Title is the next most important thing after your photo, so make it work for you. Buyers do NOT search for WOW!! or LOOK!! or Wonderful, Amazing, Cute, Sweet, Unusual, Pretty,etc etc. They search for Beswick or Nike or Nokia N70 Mobile Phone so make sure you use the right words.
Also dont describe your item, think about what buyers want. This takes practice, but for example dont put Very nice jacket with 6 buttons and long sleeves even if it is. A much better title is Long Red Velvet Monsoon Jacket Ladies Size 12. All these statements may be true, but some will be searched for and some will not. If you are not sure, put the words in the Completed Items box and see what comes up.
Consider making a ME page. This is very easy, and allows you to list your terms and conditions, also you can put up some more information about yourself. To See My ME PAGE, CLICK HERE
Finally Customer Service Be polite, friendly and efficient and you will have few problems, and youll enjoy the Ebay experience much more. Remember, if a Buyer is paying you for an item, they have a right to expect it will be as described and reach them safely and quickly. Dont clutter your page up with long lists of I will not accept BLAH BLAH BLAH and By placing a bid you agree to BLAH BLAH BLAH Trust me, no-one reads them anyway.

disable some updates and authentication Windows XP !!!

The xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in update and authentication 'features' in WindowsXP.

For example, there's a service running in the background which is called 'Automatic Updates'. I don't know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and checking or unchecking some checkboxes. This will take you approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat utility can do the same in 1 minute? This utility was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known 'Suspicious' Functions in WindowsXP. It's customiseable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended.

always accurate to assume the size fits just by looking at the simple description.
There are UK, US and Asian sizes. Some sizes comes in numbers like Size 10 girls
or Size 12 men and some comes in the form of alphabets like S, M, L, XL etc.
Some manufacturer doesn't really follow standard sizes. Some comes in Free size

Bluetooth headsets - Innovation not always better!

With this brief review about Bluetooth mobile phone headsets, I would like to invite you to take a moment and read this so that I may point out to you why an innovative idea does not necessarily mean it will enhance your life in every way. Whereas there is no doubt that Bluetooth being innovative in many of its aspects, I would like to take a moment and clear up why this can not be said about mobile phone Bluetooth headsets.Does it sound familiar to you; You are on a call with another person and you can not understand a word that is spoken? You keep asking the other one to repeat every spoken word until your frustration reaches boiling point and you beg the person on the other side of the line to switch off their Bluetooth headset, but their pride of having purchased a new Bluetooth headset encourages them to keep using this innovative piece of technology.As innovative as Bluetooth technology may be, it actually is more of a hindrance for mobile phone voice communication. Have we not all experienced the above conversation and have either asked the person on the other end to switch their Bluetooth Headset off, or have we been the person that tried to convince the receiving one that even though you are talking to them through your Bluetooth Headset, they should be able to understand you clearly and if they can not, it is not because of your headset? At different times, I have been both.If you can, communicate with your friends, family and especially business partners by actually holding the mobile phone to your ear and mouth. Yes, I am talking about the way that used to be most normal to makemobile, or for that matter, telephone conversations with.What's the advantage? You will not look like a fool walking down the street, appearing to be talking to yourself and whats more, the person on the other end of the phone can actually understand what you are saying!It is surprising that Bluetooth has gained that many followers amongst the mobile phone voice communication industry, considering what a disadvantage this technology actually brings to communicating with each other. Any manual attached mouthpiece/microphone delivers better if not perfect quality conversation than Bluetooth Headsets. I have purchased a new phone a few months ago and got a free Earplug and Microphone with my new cell phone which you could easily attach to your phone by cable. Additionally I have purchased this cool and innovative Bluetooth headset - only to realize, the Bluetooth headset was such a waste of money for reasons stated above. The earplug and microphone that came for free with the phone, deliver much better service than any Bluetooth Headset I have ever tried. Innovative is not always better!

Over priced ear piercing studs

I have noticed several adverts selling 24k gold plated ear piercing studs on buy it nowthat are vastly over priced!

One advert is selling 2 dozen pairs of 24k plated studs in packets on a buy it now price of 49.99! These studs are available from caflon (the ear piercing specialists) for 6.50 per dozen.

Just because it is on ebay it doesnt mean that it is a bargain, type in caflon or studex on google and you will find many more studs from reputable sellers at much lower prices.

FAKE FRANCE AWAY SHIRT 2006 / 2007

Most of the time every single France away shirt (2006 World Cup) on
eBay is fake; the differences are obvious once you receive a fake shirt
but from a photograph it's very difficult to tell the difference. The
thing to look for is the shape of the small red part under the collar;
on the authentic shirts this is always long and thin; on the fake
shirts it is much larger and shaped like a half circle. It's difficult
to explain so check out the image !

EAT ME BAITS GUIDE TO GOOD BOILIES

hi guys

Motorola replacement fascias from AwakingDragon

I'd bought a second hand Motorola V500 which worked fine but was scratched and dirty so I thought I'd get a replacement fascia. There were dozens to choose from and it looked so easy and impressive.Then I found a listing to help with the changeover process and thought I was flying!

WAS I WRONG!!!!

Don't buy these kits unless you're a real mobile phone buff. The instructions I bought from a seperate sellershowed me how to disassemble beautifully and then said...wait for it..." now do everything in reverse". What????

I'd bought from the same seller a desktop charger with spare battery. "That'll do me" I thought ( like Billy Connolly).

They'd sent the wrong charger and no cable. After a while I worked out that I had to use the wall charger cable but that didn't help as it didn't fit the phone.So I sent them an email.

WRONG!!!

I sent 3,yes three, emails which were ignored and I only got some response when in frustration I left neutral feedback. They emailed me asking to retract and assuring of their good intentions, only to follow up with another email saying that they'd refund me if I sent everything back at my own expense! To Singapore!

So my message is this...I'm sure there are some very good kits out there, so why aren't they in the UK? Because they're really junk and noone's going to go to the expense of sending stuff back in case they get no refund. Buyer beware!!!!

ALLOY WHEEL FITMENT GUIDE

i am writing this guide to hopefully help people who are thinking of changing their alloy wheels to atfermarket wheels.,

when i say aftermarket i mean a set that were not original on the car.

there is alot to be said for some sellers who will sell you any set of wheels and tyres just to get the sale.

make sure your new purchase (which isnt going to be the cheapest) is not a bad one.

there are a few points to this.

1st. always check our wheel fitment. this may sound silly but you need to know this so you can understand wether the wheels you are about to buy will fit.

an example of a wheel fitment guide would be here:

click on your make and model and you will see if it is a 5 stud pattern witha 100mm difference between the stud (PCD) so you know what to look for.

also another thing woth regards changing to bigger wheels. you really need to take care. if you are running a 185/65/15 tyre you need to get the correct calculation if you are going for 17" wheels to keep the rolling rotation of the gearbbox right.

an example can be found here:

if your standard wheels are a 185/65/15 the correct tyre size needed to go to 17" would be 215/45/17. take a look yourself and i hope this guide helps you alloy wheel buyers when making your choice.

How to Spot Fake GBA Advance Games

Let's be honest: we've all been interested in purchasing products for less than we normally should. We are a culture that has been raised on the prospect that wealth is good thus why pay for something for more than we should?

Many seem to think this is the case with GBA Advance game cartridges which are the most imitated video game accessory around. Typically, these cartridges originate from the Far East in the type of atmosphere one might find at Dongtai Road in Beijing.

Often, people buy the games knowing they are fake but doing so is not wise. The only way to stop the spread of counterfeit merchandise is through education and turning a blind eye to those who are providing illegal merchandise.

So how can you spot a fake GBA Advance game? There's no 100% way of knowing unless you have the game in your possession. That's not the case here on eBay but you can ask yourself the following questions in order to gauge if your money is going towards a replica game cartridge rather than an authentic one.

1. Where is the seller located?

Typically, bootlegged or counterfeit merchandise often comes from countries where such items are more universally accepted. Items from Taiwan or China must be looked at closely as these unauthorized items are available almost everywhere overseas. If you are viewing an item and the seller's location is a country where fakes are in demand, please look deeper into the listing in order not to get squeezed on buying something that is not authentic.

It's important to note thata fake video game can come from anywhere. As such, anyone could be in possession of one and trying to sell it regardless of their location.

2. How much is the game?

Typically, new games will fetch about20 retail. If a seller lists a brand new game for5 with3 shipping, chances are it's a reproduction. There's simply no way a seller (even one with a warehouse) could sell such an item for profit when that10 has eBay fees and shipping associated to it.

3. Does the seller make suspicious statements?

There's tons of qualifiers that could potentially lead one to believe a game is not authentic:

"Bought at estate sale/flea market", "99% new", "new and tested", "no original box/manual", "please ask all questions before bidding", "tested and resealed", etc.

Why would someone open a brand new product and 'test' it? It's brand new, it should work fine. I would advise anyone to shy away from any product where it has to be opened and tested.

eBay isthe best place for gaming on earth. Every single video game imaginable on every single platform is available here. Just make sure you safeguard yourself and educate yourself and your peers to understand what could be potentially violating so you don't end up with a product you didn't want and a counterfeiter with more cash in his pocket.

Be sure to report any suspicious items to eBay for review. Whatever you do, make sure you do your homework first and know what you are purchasing before you hit the button.

MOST HAUNTED LIVE 2006 Tickets

These tickets are not valid to be sold thru ebay or anywhere else. if you buy these tickets, you will not be allowed in, as they are non transferrable. anyone trying to charge you for these tickets is doing so fraudently as 1. they wont work and 2. they are free from SRO if you email them to ask for tickets. search for SRO most haunted live on the web, and you will find the page. if you have brought these tickets, sorry but you wont get in. the door staff will ask you for id to prove your email address and details. if you have brought tickets already, report the sale to ebay. leave feedback stating the mis-sale. it quite clearly states on the site and the tickets that they are non-transferrable so these sellers KNOW they cant do this.

Write a guideTiming Your Auction Sales For Profit

There is the old saying that timing is everything and that couldnt be more true than selling with Ebay. In this case, were talking about strategic timing - and in particular two critical factors in selling through an auction. The first is the length of the auction, and the second is timing when the auction will end. Lets begin first with deciding how long an auction should run

Typically, the first step in an auction that many sellers forget is timing the end of the auction to coincide with key selling days on Ebay. Your starting day determines your ending day and that is something you need to take into consideration when posting your auction.

Experts agree that a seven day auction is best. The primary reason for the longer auction is to attract more attention and viewers to what you are selling. Some might argue that a shorter auction is more appropriate for todays short attention span buyer, but typically, a longer auction will gain more watchers and ultimately a higher selling price. In addition, a 7 day auction spans the entire week including the prime viewing weekend zone where traffic can increase dramatically. Typically, Sunday is considered the best day to end an auction followed closed by Saturday and then Friday. Most sellers also agree that ending an auction on a holiday is a bad idea.

Perhaps thought the most important timing factor of an auction is the actual time that is does end. You should shoot for auctions that end between 10 and midnight UK Time. Have you ever been up at 3 or 4 in the morning and seen all the auctions closing - this is a great time to get bargains because most people are in bed - but a terrible time to end your auction for the same reason. This time strategy makes it more difficult for sellers inthe Usato key their ending times toUk time zones, but is essential for receiving toppoundage on your auctions.

The Conclusion:

Start your 7 day auction on at 9 pmgmt time. This way the auction will go through the entire week cycle and end at the same time you started it. If you have a five day auction, start it on Tuesday at 9 pm and a 3 Day auction should start on Thursday night.

Absolute Guide to Camp fires

Camp Fires

Mostly landowners will frown upon you if you have a camp fire, but if you do it right, they have nothing much to complain about. Never just start a fire on the ground, this leaves a horrible mess afterward.Use a spade to lift the turf of the area where you want to have a fire... Put the turf to one side upside down. If you have peaty soil, replace the turf and look elsewhere, if you have sandy soil go ahead and make a contained fire in the area where you lifted the turf. Firewood can be found in abundance in any woodland or forest on the forest floor. Never ever cut live wood or tear the branches off a living tree as this is bad conservation and unnecessary. When you're done, make sure the fire is out, using plenty of water, scatter the ashes and unburned pieces in the river, then replace the turfs and gently stamp them down. - the idea is to leave the landscape as you found it. If you're on snow, you're going to have to do some serious digging before you even reach the ground (Which will be frozen), so think about if you really need that campfire afterall.

Sometimes, firewood will not be obviously available, so you'll need to take advantage of local geology and burn peat , seaweed, oilstone, bogwood, or whatever is available. If you're having a campfire, you can burn any litter you have, But not tin cans, (Although they will burn if hot enough, you're camp fire ain't going to do it)

How combined postage discounts work

Many eBay sellers offer shipping discounts when you buy more than one item from them. It's a great way for sellers to pass on the benefits of cost savings to their customers. But eBay's system can be confusing as to how it works. Let's see why.

The scenario

An eBay seller is offering widgets for sale. They come in lots of colours and sizes. We find one of their widgets through eBay's search features and we decide we'd like to buy a few different kinds for them. Their small widgets are 99p each. Postage is 99p for the first widget and 39p for each subsequent one. The seller's also offering a 75p "postage discount" if you buy more than one item.

The same seller also has large widgets at 1.99 each. Postage is 1.49 for the first one and 79p for each subsequent one.

We decide we'd like two of each type. How much would the postage be?

The customer's view

We look at the the small widgets we found first and buy two. We then go to the large widgets and buy two of those. So four widgets in total. Since we bought the small widgets first, the postage should be 99p for the first widget and 39p each for the other three. A total of 99p 3 x 39p = 2.16. Right?

The problem

No, that's not right. Lets' think about it. The large widgets are likely to be heavier than the small widgets and so cost more to post out. That's not fair on the seller who may end up out of pocket.

The same also applies in reverse. If we'd happened to find the large widgets first, would we expect the postage to be 1.99 3 x 79p (4.36) instead? That doesn't seem fair on the buyer who is paying postage on heavier items but only getting lighter ones.

The solution

In fact eBay's system comes in between these two extremes, as you'd expect, so is fair for both buyer and seller.

What happens is that eBay works out the price of each of the different items individually and then deducts the seller's "postage discount". Let's see what happens in our case.

The postage for the small widgets on their own is 99p 39p = 1.38. The postage for the large widgets is 1.99 79p = 2.68. The total is 1.38 2.68 = 4.06. eBay then deducts the seller's "postage discount" (75p) to come up with a combined total postage of 4.06 - 75p = 3.31.

This system allows for each different type of item to be priced appropriately by the seller according to its size, weight, packaging needs, etc. and means that both seller and customer have a fair postage charge calculated.

Don't forget that postage charges often reflect other factors as well as the size or weight of a package. For example a fragile glass vase is likely to need more and better quality packaging than a used paperback book. The vase probably takes the seller longer to pack as well. So it's reasonable that the postage and packing charge for the vase would be more than for the book, even if they weigh the same.

In summary

To work the postage out, just price up the postage on each different eBay listing you buy from the same seller as though you were just buying from that one item. Once you have done this, add up the postage. Now take away the seller's "postage discount" from the second listing onwards. So if you have bought from two listing, take the discount off once; if you have bought from three listings, take twice the discount off; four listings, three times the discount, and so on.

Writing a good About Me Page

Your "About Me" page is the first place buyers go when they want to find out more about an eBay seller. Is is also a great opportunity to drive sales and cross-sell products. It is a free billboard where you can showcase your entire line of products and make a strong first impression.Here are some tips for enhancing your About My Store page:Focus on the area "above the fold" - the screen area buyers see first before scrolling down.Graphics work so use photos or graphics of items that link to actual product.

renault key cards

the key cards for the new shape lagunas are coded to the veicles chasis number once programed it is not possible to change the code, i have been to the renault dealers in my area, and to pivate garages that do renaults and have been told from early september renault will not any longer suply the codes even for new key cards to be programed, so be wary unless you have the knoledge to programe these yourself. regards mick.

SHOOT OUT CARDS RIPPED OFF?? WANT TO SAVE MONEY??

THIS SHOULD HELP

DONT PAY RIDICULOUS PRICES FOR SHOOT OUT CARDS (OR ANY CARDS FOR THAT MATTER), WAIT AND SHOP AROUND. I HAVE JUST SEEN THE NEW SHOOT OUT ALBUM SELLING FOR PRICE LIKE 9 AND 3 POSTAGE. WELL IF YOU SHOP AROUND AND WAIT YOU SAVE 7 OFF OF THAT PRICE!!! JUST WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS AND GO INTO TOWN OR SOMETIMES EVEN A CORNER SHOP AND BUT THEM THEN. WHY I HEAR YOU SAY?? WHY SHOULD I WAIT??

WELL YOU SHOULD WAIT BECAUSE IT HAS A PRICE OF 4.99 ON THE WRAPPER WHICH THE SHOP CANNOT CHANGE. SO IF YOU HAD 40 AND DECIDE TO BUY OFF EBAY THEN THINK ABOUT THIS:

A STARTER FILE WILL COST YPU AROUND 8-12 INCLUDING POSTAGE

THEN PACKETS OF CARDS WELL, YOU COULD BUT THEM IN IN A JOB LOT OF50 PACKS FOR 19-25

OR

SOME SELLERS SELL THEM FOR1 AND 1 FOR P P SO THATS2 JUST FOR THREE PACKETS, AND THEN1 FOR THE CARDS AND ABOUT 40P FOR EACH ITEM AFTER THAT. SO YOU ARE LOSING MONEY. IT'S A SCAM DON'T FALL FOR IT

BUT IF YOU BUY THEM FROM THE SHOPS THENTHEY CANT CHANGE THE PRICE!!!

A STARTERPACK COSTS A FIVER SO YOU AVE 35 LEFT

YOU CAN THEN BUY 100 PACKETS WITH THE REMAINING MONEY WHICH IN THEORY, IF YOUONLY NEED 360 CARDS IN A SHOOT OUT SET AND 100 PACKS GIVES YOU 600 CARDS THEN YOUSHOULDJUST ABOUT COMPLETE YOUR SET, AND YOU CAN SELL YOUR SWAPS AND GET MONEY TOBUY THE ONESYOU NEED INDIVIDUALLY OR BUY MORE PACKETS

SO THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU START BIDDING AND PAYING CRAZY HIGH PRICES, SHOP AROUND FIND OUT IF YOU CORNER SHOP WILL BE GETTING THEM IN OR IF PLACES LIKE WHSMITH DO THEM AND SO DO SUPERMARKETS

ALSO CHECK BOOTSALES, MARKETS AND THE ADS SECTION IN YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER TO SEE IF YOU PICK UP A LOT AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE.

I WENT AROUND A CAR BOOT WHEN THE RED SHOOT OUT CARDS CAME OUT AND THERE WERE TWO STALLS THAT I SAW THAT WERE SELLING THESE CARDS, ONE WAS SELLING THEM STARTER PACKS FOR 3.50 AND PACKETS OF CARDS FOR 30P EACH OR 10 PACKETS FOR 2.50

SELLER TWO WAS SELLING STARTER PACKS FOR 3.50 AND PACKETS OF CARDS FOR 2OP YES 20P EACH OR A WHOLE BOX OF 100 PACKS FOR 15

SO I HOPE THIS GUIDE HELPS AND REMEMBER TO SHOP AROUND BEFORE YOU START TO PAY SILLY PRICES FOR THESE

PS. PLEASE CHECK SOME OF THE ITEMS I HAVE FOR SALE WHILE YOU ARE HERE

A MANS GUIDE TO PERFUME -WRITTEN BY ONE

A GUIDE TO PERFUME THAT EVEN I CAN UNDERSTAND! (WRITTEN BY A MAN)

Perfume seems to make a great gift. But what do people like about it? It has that brand feel of something of quality and (unless its Kouros and its the 80's) should last for a long time. The bottles are works of art in themselves. The adverts for perfumes are seductive and mysterious. We are all jealous (if we admit it) of the fantastic looking people on the adverts and the lifestyles they have. Wouldn't it be great to splash on some smelly water and instantly havea perfect physique and hip and happening friends (assuming you don't already). Or maybe if you choose the right perfume or aftershave for your partner they will look like the people in the ads?

We know its not going to happen but we know we're not going to win the lottery but most of us do it.

The adverts, god the adverts! They are quite good at first but they become a little like a scratched record. They start in about September and build and build until Christmas. They are now well and truly part of the festive season like Del Boy or Christmas Corrie. What will be the best advert this year I wonder? Calvin Klein's are always pretty weird, good but weird. Have you noticed some of the models the various brands use? They're not your usual perfect looking people, rather different looking but still strangely attractive, that'll be the perfume.....

If you are choosing a gift of perfume this Christmas for someone special (they don't have to be that special these days because the price of this Brand identity has come down a lot over the last few years (the price point). Its still quite a lot of money, usually over 15 but this once exclusive market has completely opened up for everybody to enjoy, and rightly so! We all seem to want to smell of a brand as well as clothe ourselves with a brand.

Enough of this waffling and lets get down to basics. What do you buy? Well choice number one is: do you go for your friends favourite fragrance (assuming you know them well enough to have seen their dressing table or asked what they're wearing underneath their clothes!)? Or do you buy something different. The second choice (assuming you're being adventurous and looking for something different) is do you go for an established fragrance or try the latest one, just out! Every Christmas the \brand owners push the boat out. They launch a new fragrance, market it like crazy, sell it at a slight premium and keep their fingers crossed. After all, they have shareholders to please. There are some great new smells around this Christmas, Lacoste Inspiration For Women and Hugo Boss Selection For Men to name just two.

Size is important! 30ml is usually the smallest and the cheapest purchase. Its not the best value though, as you can buy up and get more ml for your money, usually a 50ml or 100ml and occassionally a 125ml or even 200ml. I've always tried to get the balance right and personally go for a 50ml. A 30ml, well if your friend likes it, won't last very long. 100ml just looks too much and they'll have it for 20 years if they don't use it regularly. A 50ml seems to be about right. Groovy Things sells all different sizes so don't let me put you off buying a 100ml if you want to!

Do you know what the difference is between a EDT (eau de toilette), aftershave and EDP (eau de parfum)? Well, without going into weights and measures, an EDP is the most concentrated and usually the most expensive. The theory being that you need to put less on to have the same effect as a EDT. An aftershave is the weakest, so men just 'splash it on all aver' (hey now thats catchy, we could use that in an advert, maybe use a footballer or boxer, anyway I digress).

If all this is too confusing you could always buy flowers?........

IS IT WORTH BUYING A DYMO LABEL PRINTER?

If you are a regular trader on ebay then this little number can save bags of time and greatly reduce the risk of parcels going missing.Even if you only buy the 400 model, you can adjust the software easily to incorporate a small return address, meaning it is needless to add your sender add.I have also noticed that less packages now go missing, as the text is obviously more ledgable than handwriting.The biggest problem is now having to write out all the recorded delivery forms, but at least the sender's add doesn't have to be filled in!
