    Hi stacy, it's a great idea isn't it! Wish I could think of some better ideas though!

    I was going to try etsy but it's going to mean me having a credic card active which I'm not sure about. Am also going to make and sell in sets of 10 pairs of earrings etc as they seem to be good sellers, not a huge profit but something better than nothing.

    I am going to empty my woolworths bingo site and leave that one, start another of the st minver ones as part of my challenge start. Not sure how long the woolworths site will last anyway

    I'm only on a couple of quid so might play through some bingo unless I get lucky in the next couple of weeks you never know lol.
    This new challenge will certainly provide everyone with some new money making ideas.

    Good idea about using your mums card, i would do that but worried they will ask for ID again, dont want to be sending off my mums details she would not appreciate that!!!
    Ah didnt realise you needed a credit card for etsy-i dont have one so thats out. Hmm will have to think of something to sell on ebay instead,bulks a good idea yukki, have bben trying to sell single items in boxes but if i could sell 5 or ten just in a bag or something that would cut down costs all round .

    Yeah selling in bulk is a good idea to cut costs!

    I wonder how may time some people used the facebook thing yesterday? You could do hundreds as you can create e mail accounts and facebook accounts so easily!

    what would stop people doing it till they got hundreds of pounds? takes less than 5 mins to create hotmail acoount facebook account and add the 5 items! i bet someone did £100's and bough a tv or something!

    i wish this offer had been last week before i ordered my lcd monitor i would have done 4 and got an extra £10 off

    I know it is greedy but i can't see a problem with doing loads facebook, hotmail and hotukdeals would still benifit from the hits and amazon from the sales
