"Phantom Crash and Max Payne up for grabs"

Well, up for grabs in exchange for money. I need some money (and some time), so I'm sorting out the wheat from the chaff as it were and have put these two up on eBay. Both very solid games, just don't have the time to play them.

Phantom Crash starts at £10.00, no reserve over at:

And Max Payne starts at £7.50, no reserve over at:

Bargain, or what? Cheap as chips, eh? Get bidding!

Thanks :D

Thanks for the info, guys.

No poundland where I am !

Paypal requires you to register your debit card with them and bank details, so you can get a sellers account. Once registered with them you can accept Paypal, and other Paypal members can pay you with it. Paypal takes 3.4% + 20p from every payment you receive from someone and the rest goes into your paypal account. You can withdraw that money when the total reaches £10 or more, and Paypal charges you 50p to withdraw the money, which then taks 4-5 business days to go into your bank account.

One of the main advantages is that many many people have credit cards, hence they register with Paypal and can buy on eBay using their credit rather than debit or cheques, basically accepting Paypal opens your auctions up to those who only use credit to buy, which is a lot of people in the UK !!

Generally, eBay's own surveys show that items where Paypal is an option to pay will get higher prices than those where it is not an option, and the increased bid price should counter the fees incurred. Another way is to add a small amount to your postage so as to partially cover the costs if someone does pay with Paypal.

Another benefit is you often get paid faster, of the 13 items I sold yesterday I now only have 5 people left to pay. Plus, you can use Paypal money that you have not transferred, to buy Paypal items on eBay with.

Lastly, it really benefits you on high value items and can help send the price spiralling into loony land, many of my most insane final prices were reached by people who paid with Paypal, like £52 for a Beyblade back in February (they cost 5.99 but this was a rare one, so rare I bought 12 from work....)

Buyer pays for item using paypal - Money goes into your paypal account - then once you are ready you can draw it out into your bank account.

How does it work?

If you have a Poundland store around your area you get a pack of 5 medium sized (slightly larger than the ones SR send games in) for an unpredictable £1.

Woot! Cheers for that Bell!

There's wilko's like everywhere - In Beeston/Long Eaton and Nott's.

I wasted 92p buying a stupid envelope at the post office (Size H)

gamezfreak, ask your post office for a postal charges booklet, they are free, and providing you have some scales at home somewhere, you can accurately sort out your postage charges, also contains insurance details , how to claim for lost items etc. Very handy to have.

Another secret, if you have a Wilkinson's in town, they sell padded envelopes (perfect for most small items) in packs of 4 for 99p, far cheaper than anywhere else I know of except wholesalers !

Also - If you do charge for your postage - Make sure you do some research first.

I had to fork out an extra £1 for sending one item this morning.

*shakes fist*

Mav, you're doing free postage - get Free P+P in the item description instead of good condition. And NR, for no reserve.

Also Mav - Why don't you accept PayPal?
