    I've sold four items tonight and they've all but one buyer paid instantly which is nice. It's made my paypal balance look nice and healthy ready for transfer in a few days.

    One more bid one something ending in a couple of days and other than that it's all quiet. I seem to be relisting rather than listing for the bulk of my items now.

    Am going to join this challenge from tomorrow. I sold four items at the weekend, 3 slightly used bottles of perfume, and one concert ticket that my daughter's friend had dropped out of. I made just short of £200. I used to do loads of ebay, but worrying about my debts has got me down so not bothered. I have got loads of stuff to sell so am going to get cracking tomorrow!

    Welcome FredzMum, know what you mean about getting down about debts and not being able to do anything to get rid of them! With this challenge I have found that focusing on clearing my clutter (and hopefully making money) helps me manage as I am really not very good at dealing with mess either.

    You've done really well on your recent sales; I hadn't thought about selling partly used perfume but am considering putting on used bottles.

    Lexxx, hope the 'reminders' will get you payments.

    Have put another 20 listings on since I last posted. Has taken me longer as I hadn't added the photos and couldn't find the right ones as they were all jumbled up. Just managing baby and will then get back to the listing as I am on a roll.

    Have a good Bank Holiday.

    I agree - I had never thought of selling partly used perfumes either. I have a drawer full of unwanted Xmas smellies which I think shall be getting a clear out soon! Always have great intentions when it comes to e-bay but can never be motivated to take photos and list it all. Currently have two boxes full of stuff but am on holiday all this week so will try and list some tomorrow night. Always too busy looking at the forums on here!

    I have 53 listings active :T (1 has a bid :rotfl:)

    I've found samples of beauty products sell well especially the freebies that Boots give you when you make No.7 purchases (I don't wear make up so are of no use to me). You've just reminded me that I have lots of Body Shop stuff that I got free with my first order. Must get that out and on.

    purple chocolate (love the username btw) when I'm not motivated, I really really am not motivated but once I get going, I become eBay mad! Hope you manage to get through your two boxes. I tend to put together 10 listings (photos and postage sorted) and then list. It breaks up the monotony.

    Well that's typical isn't it? I've come on here to announce how many active listings I have (63) and how many I need to just work out postage on (22) before listing and where is everybody? Out enjoying their Bank Holiday Monday I guess?! :rotfl:

    I'm going to be eBaying like mad this week. This afternoon I am going to continue listing as I can't do my Flylady tasks until the master bedroom has been cleared of my eBay stuff. It's slowly getting there.

    Catch up later. Hope you don't have the rain that we have here.
