  • Thanks mate. Probably best to join some high paying survey sites (plenty out there that pay about £10 per survey). Just have a search on google

    I think we would all love £10 per survey, but unfortunately they dont always pay that much.

    Hiya OP

    I dont know if this would help but I write reviews of movies and books and post them on Dooyoo, Ciao and Epinions. On these sites you can review pretty much anything tho! It doesn't make a lot of money but on my sig you'll see how much I have made so far. I get dooyoo to pay in amazon vouchers but you can hold your points till you have enough for cash. If you need any more help just let me know.

  • Hi OP,

    If you are looking at reselling on Ebay try googling Dropshipping. May work out better than wholesalers

  • Hi c***withcash82
    , have you thought about doing a garage/ front garden sale for any unwanted items?? Print some basic flyers off your PC, & distribute around your area/nursery/ local shop etc.
    It may be an easier way as you can save any BF/Ebay fees & your OH can help you with keeping little one amused. Also, if it rains, not far to go to put everything away!!!:D
    Hope this helps!
    Ps, this is from me who has spent all summer avoiding doing anything to clear my junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
    2011, this will be my year .
  • sorry, i know this is offtopic, but what is gc? pinkcloudnine, i noticed it in your signature and i'm intrigued!

    on topic, i would definitely reccomend survey sites, or sites like dooyoo and slicethepie.com - where you can review things and just save the points until you have enough to cash out.
    slicethepie is £5 payout, and you get 3-25p per track. i do it in my lunch hour at work and i've made £10 so far - which is nice!

    good luck

    I buy alot of joblots and i am doing fine with re-selling on ebay try localbargainfinder google it this throws up everything near you for sale on ebay just put in how many miles your prepared to travel eg 10,25 etc and put in your postcode with no spaces i have found many a bargain on this practically for pennies and you go pick up the items yourself without paying the postage or check out fat fingers for mispelled items on ebay wher theres less bidders to get a bargain or find out where your nearest police auction is by checking out eempire you can find alot of bargains there

    Hope any of this helps

    :j cool, have been trying to remember localbarginfinder site for ages! thanks. though the new ebay search can almost do that now ;)
  • Hi

    I know this might seem harsh but why can't you get a part time job maybe in a local pub or cleaning etc.

    It seems to me that people put loads of work(and time) on internet and on ebay and such like, when you would be better getting a job with a set wage rather than hoping your items on ebay sell and make a nice profit.

    Sorry if this offends people just talking my mind :confused:
