    Hi there,
    I've not made a particularly good start to making money these hols - have sold a few things on Amazon and a few on ebay this week, but need to add up the totals.
    What I just wanted to ask was.....when you sell something on ebay/amazon are you just adding the sale total to your signature amount or are you deducting fees, working out exact post etc. I have nice big £80 going in from Amazon any day but that doesn't take into account the postage I spent. (dont think i have a note of that as it's all dribs and drabs over different trips toPO)
    Also, do you wait til you have the money or are you adding survey bits made, savings on things you'd normall buy etc.....
    So many questions...thank you in advance!!!:T
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    hi milly - i personally am only adding my personal profit, so if something sells at £8.99 that is all i count - postage costs should be met by buyer. again me personally i have only done ebay, amazon, quidco and some tutoring, i aint found any mystery shops yet in my area:mad: and not done much else...hope that helps
    others will be around to tell you how they do it though im sure

    For me I'm adding in the sale price of ebay items, I'm also including surveys as I do them, quidco as it tracks etc. I'm adding mystery shops as I do them and am including the fee and also the reimbursement for products bought if it is something I would have bouht anyway,if it isn't then I don't include that but will try and sell it on ebay if that makes sense :rolleyes: :D

    The challenge can be done however works for you, some people dont include stuff till it pays out, its whatever will motivate you the most :D

    Thanks for the quick replies!
    I think I'll just count ebay sales without the postage, even though sometimes I make a few pence on that - mind you I guess my postage bags, petrol are covered by that-so just the sale price I'll record. Amazon I find harder as I get a lump from them that I transfer to the bank, but then I've already paid postage - I'll just make an estimate I think as to how much is profit.
    Not really made much via surveys, and not sure how much I earn from surveys as I do them, I just am happy not to get screened out!!!!

    So will go and have a try to work out what I've made so far! Just seen my sis has feedback over 1000 on ebay, I'm on 881 so keen to get listing and catch her up!!!!:j
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
