Evening everyone, I'm glad to see everyone is doing so well . I'm going to have to look at being paid to put ads on gumtree... I sold a bracelet earlier which gave me £28.12 after paypal fees, it will cost about £1 to send so I've added £27 to my figure.

I'll be interested to see how you get on N: I had a look at TCB earlier today after Nyk's post and it looked like they were offering 30p for first add only and only based in 7 major cities, of which Brighton wasn't one.
Bails - thanks and mutual commiserations if that proves to be the case.
I put a few more books on amazon today:j . And took photos for ebay and started a few notes for a few items. Can anyone tell me if there is a sytem to do all the listing but not actually place the listed til you want to (eg I havea couple of things I think will sell better later in the winter, but would like to get the work done while 'in the zone'.
You are all doing really well and are inspring me:T , even thiough I'm an unofficial hanger oner.:D

if your listing items on ebay try using auctiva.com its a free listing site you can choose borders and schedule items for free all the picture go in as html (a computer language) so they are all free too i think you can have as many as 24 pic on 1 listing hope this helps someone out there i use the site its great. it post your listing to ebay with no problems

Trex, I think it's through Topcashback Nyk's doing it.
Well done everyone :T BB, sorry about the Quidco, if it helps it looks like I may not get it either
I took a bra back today that I wasn't sure about so I'm adding the £7.99 to this pot Got a bid on Ebay, only 99p so far but it's a start!

Cheers Bails
i'll check that site out tomorrow before I start to list anything. Have added another £20 to my total tonight - hubbie had some freelance sports massage work so now i've got him on board yeah, even if he does think most of my money-making/saving schemes are mad!!:rotfl:

Trex, what's TNS please and hoe do I sign up? Googled it but couldn't see where to join, maybe I have the wrong thing?

Hey TNS is a market research company that I've been working with for a few years - I can't remember how I signed up but I will email my contact there in the next few days and ask for a link for other people to sign up and let you know.

Hi Trex, I spotted Gumtree on a cashback site then searched all of the ones I'm registered to and found topcashback paying 30p. I have a funny feeling that it is an error of some sort on their part because they have London based ads paying at £3!! :eek: Elsewhere, others are only paying 2p. I'm going to keep trying ads on their to see what sort of response I get, (other than the 'phishing' scammers and Nigerian overpayers of ye olde dodgey cheques) and stick with it as I have plenty to list even if it's just once a day.

Thanks NYK
I'll check it out tomorrow - it all helps even if it is only 2p per advert!

Have just received payment for proofreading work I completed this week £30 added to total - £220 to date.

have just checked topcashback and cardiff is one of the pages where they pay 30p per ad so have listed my business and will list some itesm for sale tomorrow - couldn't resist am off to bed now!

I've checked my cashback and that's advert number 4 tracked with Gumtree, so it isn't just the first one that clocks up, although the cb is just showing as pending for the moment. The way I read it, it only tracks for placing the ad first time around but not if/when you repost. I had another one track on a different site, giving me 150 points but I prefer 30p. I just wish something would actually sell.
