I've had a really good start to March and I've caught up to my long-term average. My sales are up and down like a yo-yo at the best of times but when ebay are favouring me I sell all sorts of things, including the stuff that's usually slow. Things definitely sell better when I put my prices up so I'm thinking that it might pay to lower prices when things are slow, just so I can put them up again to get things moving.

@ eol, you have no say in it. Ebay seem to determine it when you open your account, or when you sign up for selling. I looked in the seller centre and all it says is that you'll be either invoiced to the 15th or the end of the month. I think it used to say that half of sellers are on each date, which would make sense as they'd want to spread the load a bit.

I checked my ebay inbox and on my Feb invoice (for up to 15th Feb) it said if I didn't pay beforehand they'd deduct it from my credit card between the 23rd and 25th.
