eBay University has been going for a while, used to sell out quickly.....
I always hear good thigs about it, but I never belive just good news (yep having a bad day :( ) so it may not be that useful if you have been using eBay for a while. You get stuff on the course like a a book, mug, pen etc. You sometimes see them for sale on eBay!
If anyone heres goes I would love to know if it is really any good or just one of those courses you never want to let anyone know you have wasted your money.

I thin in the early days the items sold for more than the course! Trye eBay spirit :)
I'm fine, we are having problems with developers and the council. If anyone wants to know the ins and outs of planning and trees drop me a mail. I'm up to 500 emails, 15 complaints to various gov bodies and maybe legal action against the council... I'ts been 10 weeks of letter writing, big bills and research etc. Very stressful. Its all because a developer has found out to get a view he needs to be able to sell his aprtments he needs to removed trees between us and a development. Which will expose our bungalow to a 3 story building only a few meters away....

Goodness , it does sound like a nightmare.
It must be so draining getting the enthusiasm to carry on with it day after day. I do hope you win the battle !!

Hi,
I don't think we will win, but we have made it hard for the developers and council. Perhpas they will think twice when this sort of thing happens.
Anyway, didn't mean to steal your thread.
I had once considered setting up a ebay course at the Adult Ed. A sort of add on to the computing courses, how buy to something and how to sell something. Nice and simple.

I was aiming for retired and housepeople who really want to try it out and maybe sell some junk. For a lot of people its still a black art.
I'm always worried about homeworkers as theres too many cons out there, really something should be done.
