Lunars Ebay challenge

I think I have been making pretty good progerss paying off my debts over the last year. Im just not committed enough to do those extra things that will make a big differnce. For example i have 4 boxes of things that i could sell on ebay and im just to lazy to list them.:mad:

So here is my challenge to myself inspired by the pay a debt every day thread. im going to list one item every day on ebay untill i have no clutter left in my house. this will prob mean that i will be doing this challenge until im 90!

Feel free to join me if you struggle to be motivated to list things. Please give me a good telling off if i start to let this slip. I need to make some space in my overly cluttered house.:rotfl:

    Good idea this! I don't really have enough to sell to join you but thought I'd wish you luck and bump this thread up :D

    Good luck!

    Good luck! I am trying to lighten my load by selling on eBay as well! I have sooo many things, it will take me forever to just list them all, so I am doing eBay alongside car boot sales too....

    One thing I'm doing that makes it a bit more manageable for me is to list only clothes one week, makeup/jewellery the next, books the week after etc...
    We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic. ;)

  • Lunar I am right here with you!

    I took photos, I weighed things, then I got bored.

    I have a conservatory full of COMPLETE junk that I should e bay. You'd think the fact that I have 21.35 sitting in my account - just from E bay that that would be motivtion in itself. but no apparently not.

    I will check back in tomorrow Lunar!!

    Good luck with this and I would love to join you, but after spending the last 7 months or so with at least a couple of bit on ebay all the time, I'm slowly depleting my ebay items I can sell. I'll be watching this thread though to hopefully inspire me to have a huge clearout again as I have so much extra money I want to make (don't we all)

    Ok im not going to be able to get online this weekend as we are going away for 2 nights so i have listed 3 items today. I have 2 bids on the first thing i listed and 3 watchres on the second. It will be nice to get rid of some of the boxes ive had piling up and actually get some money back for it.

    I cant believe how good everyone seems to be with getting things onto ebay, it must just be me that is so lazy.
