Ohh - I have just sold my first cd from amazon. :T Now....what do I send it out in???
Just about to list a whole lot more...
cheers, longhotbath0 -
I had panics about packaging stuff up - but I just bought some packs of different sized jiffy bags (quite cheap from Poundstretcher), for books, CDs etc. I was really worried about packaging up shoes sold on ebay as I didn't have any shoe boxes. I ended up taking Christmas decorations out of their boxes and using those, then wrapping in brown paper. Haven't had any complaints.....!Mammy to 3 gorgeous children.0

For packaging - have a search in the Yellow Pages etc. for packaging companies. I use one that doesn't charge VAT if I pay by cash - it is so cheap even compared to Poundstretcher. Haven't needed to go there for over a year so I hope it is still going when I have to get some supplies next week! :rotfl:
Haven't managed to list anything tonight - had guests over but will catch up tomorrow!

So how are we all doing? I listed about 10 things on Turbolister last night ready to upload, not sure when to list them, I normally like to do things in the evening for 7 days but I don't think I've ever sold anything on a Saturday evening before so not sure what to do.
I think I'll do 5, 7 and 10 day auctions, will list 5 and 10 day ones tonight and do 7 and 10 day ones tomorrow.
I have so much more stuff I could list if I had a bit more time, I have the 3 kids on my own today so not going to be able to get as much done as I'd like.
I buy my mailing bags from Ebay and buy padded envelopes and normal envelopes from Poundland, they also sell bubblewrap and brown paper.
Good luck everyone with your listings.Sealed Pot Challenge #0160 -
oooooh just sold another cd - and for more than I paid for it new! lol
(I obviously have a minority musical taste!):rotfl:
I have made up a box of packing stuff for ebay items, and will trott off to poundland for the cd wrappping. May have a look in hmv too. (for packing purposes only). Might also wander down to the cd guy in the market to see if he buys....
Apart from that - its such a lovely day that I might enjoy the sun and do my ebay listings tonight.
have a good day ebaying.....LHB0 -
Sorry - should have said - I bought a mixed pack of mailing bags off ebay at £4.99 for 50. My sales have been mainly clothes and they are a good way of sending them.
Im also on my own with the 3 children today - dh is working.
Recklessly we agreed to eldest - who is 8 - going to eurodisney with her brownie pack in 18 months, so need to pay for it. She has to do extra chores for the £5 per week that SHE needs to earn (and we need to do likewise to pay her):rotfl:0 -
good luck with the appointment too_much_debt - hope all goes well for you. Thanks Floxxie and longhot bath for advice about buying packing materials. I have 20 'active' items on ebay - hoping to get some more things photographed before it gets too dark. Well done everyone so far!!!Mammy to 3 gorgeous children.0

I've had to abandon this challenge for a few days, will get back into it tomorrow. Just a thought on packaging tho - I've always saved jiffybags, even before I started selling on Amazon, but when I first got into all the dfw stuff, someone was giving away lots of packaging on freecycle - I took one box of it that somebody else didn't want, and the only thing I've ever had to actually buy is labels and sellotape!
Hope everyone's doing well.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Hi all
I've just sat and listed 22 DVDs on Amazon so along with the 12 books I put on GreenMetropolis the other day that is 34 things listed which I think beats my target of 5 a day so far!! I was able to list some of the DVDs as new ones as they are still in the polythene wrapping and never watched!! Now I'm beginning to understand why I am in so much debt!!! So many books and DVDs never read or watched!!!
Now just got to wait and hope they sell soon as I want rid and the money will be helpful!!0
