eBay/ebid 10 a day challenge - any joiners?

Floxxie

This is a continuation of the 2008 list 10 items a day challenge. Having experienced it, none of us liked it so now we are going to do a 'get rid of your clutter as quickly as you are able to and make some money in doing so' challenge except that title was too long so it's been shortened to that above.

How many items and where you list is entirely up to you. If you have any targets e.g. paying off your entire debt with the contents of your house, then let us know. And just to remind people who have been here before: Don't expect this to be an easy challenge - boredom and frustration will creep in!
.
I am the least motivated person when it comes to eBay - I have great plans to do a whole weekend of listing but then find other things to do or I list 50 items all at once, have a panic getting it wrapped and posted and then don't bother doing anymore as too exhausted!

Having started (and stopped) this challenge several times last year, I was sort of successful as I managed to pay for a Eurodisney holiday. This year I am aiming to pay off my annual mortgage interest which will be roughly £2580.

Feel free to join, watch from afar or keep well away!

Hi!

I'm terrible with ebay as well...I just keep putting it off!

However, I have just listed one thing about five minutes ago! So..... 10 a day would means I had no more possessions in the world, but I'd give five a day a go.

Do you think we could include amazon listings, as I have got quite a few books and CD's/DVD's which would be better to sell on amazon rather than ebay?

Sounds great but even i .. miss hoarder.. dont have this many items to get rid off.. Plus i have just put 3 big bundles on ebay which has cleared me out..

So good luck with it

Hi there!
Can I join? Ive just listed 21 things so thats me sorted for today, I'm gona go for 5 a day - I too could run out of stuff to sell before long! Just listed a pair of mens caterpillar boots - nearly chucked them but got a ten pound bid already so I'm pleased about that - sometimes its the most unlikely items though isnt it? Will check in tomorrow with how I'm doing. Good luck everyone!

Happy xx

I'd love to do this too but for one thing, my bloody post office is awful. To send one packet you have to queue for an hour and then there are no labels or anything.... it's a nightmare blah! Good luck guys!

I so want to do this but every time I try to do a listing in the past I have failed with the upload photo part. Ok tonight will try again, but will be straight back here for help if I struggle.

I've never listed on ebay before but would like to give it a go to get rid of the mini mountains we have going on around here! It won't be 10 a day but I would like to try for 5 a day (starting from next week!)

one-day

Welcome everybody!

• You can list what and where you like so it could be Amazon, Greenmetropolis, Play etc.
• And you can list as few or as many as you like - I have chosen 10 because that is what I think is a realistic target for me. Ideally I should be listing 30 items a day to get rid of my clutter!
• I haven't put in a financial target as it depends what we have and how much it is worth and how bad our debts are!!
• I'll put a list on the first page of who is taking part and what they are aiming to do.
• There's plenty of advice on the eBay forum but feel free to post problems or ideas etc. here if it can help a fellow MSEr complete the challenge.

Very impressed on those who have already listed. I'm saving the excitement for after dinner...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Sure, add me. I've just started selling on eBay again so it would fit right in Amazon is a new thing for me so that's quite exciting - never looked at eBid but will do now!
