  • Hi all,

    Hope all of your eBaying is gong well - just had two late bidders cough up - so posted those off. Then this afternoon I sold an Abercrombie & Fitch shirt on a BIN for £20 - woohoo!

    Brings my weekly total to £63.75 and it's only Wednesday, so looks like its shaping up to be a better week than last week.

    10 items end on Sunday, 11 start on Thursday on a 10 day listing. I feel inspired - may do some more rummaging for things tonight!

    Keep your eBaying chins up!:T

    Card 1: £500, now £0
    Card 2: £1200, now £0
    Card 3: £250, now £0

    Well everybody seems to be doing well.

    I have 13 items finishing today with 9 sold and the rest have watchers so fingers crossed. On the downside it means lots of checking and packing tonight.

    Also sold an item on Amazon today for £19 taking off fees and postage. It was the second time in 2 days that I sold to somebody living on a very small island....very strange!

    Catch up in the next few days. Have to try and stay off here to catch up things that I haven't done but will be back shortly.

    Keep going everyone.

    Just wondering what all you guys are doing with your Ebay money, is it all for debts? We are off to Chessington next week and decided not to use Tesco vouchers as we need those for a ferry to Ireland in the summer hols so am raising the £66 entrance fee by selling on Ebay, the rest will go to our CC which we've just transferred to the Virgin 0% card.

    Started listing last week, the first 4 finished today and 24 still listed. Feels so good to raise some money, I always used to charity shop everything!

    Lexxx, it was a 2000 Disney DVD - in not a great condition and described as it is.

    Have sold CDs and books over the last week on Amazon; it's making me more money than ebay at the moment!

    Well 13 of my items finished tonight with 10 selling for just under £50; not bad but need a lot more money.

    tiff, I was using this challenge to pay my annual mortgage interest but I have reached that using other money raising ideas so now I am raising funds to have my house done up. I'm also match betting (which I might add has been so successful that it would take me a year to make on eBay what I have made in less than a month ;)) but that's for my debts.

    Maybe that is what the problem is - MBing is a lot easier and more rewarding than ebay? Oh well, thinking about it is not going to get rid of the clutter in my house so tomorrow is lots of 10 day listing (oh and packing the sold items which will leave me a lovely empty box)

    Catch up soon and well done everyone!

    Forgot to add....can't you get hold of any free Chessington entry tickets? Didn't there used to be promotions on them or have I got the wrong place?

    I'm not really saving mine for anything in particular... though I am saving for a deposit, that is a long way off.

    To be honest, my main aim is just to declutter! I'm a serious hoarder, so I'm mainly getting a kick out of getting rid of stuff, with the added bonus of getting money in my paypal account :D

    Tiff can you not get a 'kids go free' or 2for1 voucher for Chessington? There are some v cheap on... ebay!... might be worth a look :)
