Rated 4 out of 5 stars

(Mostly) easy to list.

Everything was pretty good, though I found using the photo tool a bit of an issue. I'd have preferred to upload a set of my own photos. Regardless, it all looked good in the end. Customer service via phone first class. Price is more than competitive compared to other sites. Fingers crossed that the listing is successful.
