    Bummer StOlli - must be the pre-payday lull :(

    Grey in Lincs too but due to be sunny later! I listed some bigger bits on Friday ads and have sorted next pile ready for listing on the 5 day tomorrow. Currently approx 20 listed.

    Wish I'd kept a running total of how much I have made - how far back does Paypal history go? Am definitely going to do the challenge in July - have even set myself a calendar reminder to join!

    Feel very motivated by others and want to send that good karma back...
    Starting debts £29,500
    Now £225.54 loan, £708.30 CC Total £933.84
    Interest free loan from In laws £1,000
    £6 in Boots points, £2.90 Co-op divi, £0 Paypal, £250 No Access savings
    New DFW date - asap!! :j

  • hi all, i have been relisting and relisting, did sell £50 worth of baby clotheson gumtree this week which cheered me up from the 3 99p sales on ebay!
    have been naughty and not put anything new on for ages though just keep on relisting old stuff! am seriously lacking the motivation and as i cant use turbolister it all just seems to much effort for 99p!
    sorry for maoning just have so much stuff to sell, dont want to throw it away because i think it will sell just getting it on there is the problem!
    shush me now

    Hello bbb, well done on the clothes sales. Know what you mean about eBay and the amount of stuff you've got to sell. I actually dared to open the door to the eBay room and I could barely do it. Really must sort this situation out as my DS1 would love to have his own room this summer!

    As part of the Flylady challenge I have to photograph 20 items so off to do that and will then list them later once sons's friend has left the house. Have left stuff in living room as figured that it needed to be there for me to list it. Hope he is not too shocked by our lifestyle :rolleyes:

    china-doll, that is such a lovely gesture. Any plans of how much you need to raise and where you are going to send him to?

    mrscmr, can you please send some of that sun up here? It feels as if it is trying to breakthrough the grey clouds but it is not trying very hard so any help gratefully received.

    KatiesShopstoomuch, I know what you mean about trying to list and study. I'm trying to do both too and only seem to be able to do one or the other or as in today, neither.

    Will pop back later to see how everyone is doing...

    Im going to be taking my mum too, my dads always wanted to go paris, I think its because he wants to check out the vietnamese market down there as most of his friends have been and like it there. But both my parents have never been to a sandy beach before so i though Barcelona would be quite nice to go to as there's a beach and its still a city too, is there anywhere else anyone could recommend?

    I was aiming to get £250 a person so £750 for all of us, i will go too as they dont speak english fluently and wouldnt know what to do at the airport and on the other side! I dont know if that will be enough for a 3 day trip?

    I've raised around £200 so far :-)

    Hello folks, i have finally successfully managed to post an item on ebay for the first time and have one watcher. All going well I set up a paypal account with my bank account. Now I dont have a cc (just paying it off) its cut up at present! lol So was wondering about the commission you need to pay when you sell an item. I have just sent off for one of the prepay cards just waiting for it to come. My question is can you buy and sell on ebay without a credit card. I did buy something once and was able to pay by cheque but that was some time ago now.
    Reading all these posts has given me the motiviation to join you all, hope Im as successful as you all.:T

    Same here... I haven't got any credit cards so I've linked my debit card number to my paypal account.

    After the resounding disastor of this weeks ebay I've now pulled my finger out and have 15 things listed... Thats a record in St0lli land! :D

    The things I've relisted I've reduced slightly so I'm hoping that will entice the watchers who didn't bid last time.... I can dream....
