eBay/ebid 10 a day challenge - any joiners?

Oh No StOlli, I sympathise hugely as I do things like that all the time - each time I think I am being good and making money i often end up losing! (Like doing sewing jobs for people and not taking i nto account patterns, cottons blah blah blah!)

On an Instant message chat with my sis i was typing too quickly and called myself a mupper rather than a muppet - couldn't even get that right. Now of course we say it deliberately

Live and learn!!

Just started this last night.. Had a few items on, old monitor/CD player.

Monitor sold but now the £115 is on hold by paypal :rotfl:

...Not quite sure why as my feedback is 100% and have never not sent an item



But thats +£115 eventually i guess!!

CrystalBlu - I have that sometimes, I think it's if they have the Paypal protection? It'll get realeased when you get positive feedback or if they don't dispute for a certain period of time...

You'll get it!

CrystalBlu

Thanks good to know it's not just me or something i've done!

Can anyone suggest anything else to sell? I've thought about DVD's but they seem to only go for £1-2 not really worth it when the fee's go on top?

I find clothes and shoes sell well for me, but its a lot more effort taking photos and writing listings than selling items with barcodes like CDs, DVDs and books

I just got out all my ebay items to photograph (9 boxes anyway, not quite all) but the sh!te Poundland batteries kept crashing my camera. Its taken 5 pairs of batteries and 3 hours to photograph about 10 items! grrrrrrr

Now I am in a foul mood and have to go out in the sweltering heat to play tennis with my OH and his nephew. Having a carp day!

do you have a phone which can take photos? I use my digital camera but it has a rechargable battery which is rubbish so runs out of life after 15mins so I only use this for taking pics of the details on the clothing, like beading/embroiddry or print. I then switch to my iphone and take photos using that. I have a cable for my phone which I can then transfer the photos onto my laptop. It works quite well, and I would use my phone all the time but it doesnt have a zoom or a flash

CrystalBlu

Thanks, i might have a look through my wardrobe, see what i can do without!

I use my phone too, can never seem to find batteries for my camera either! Might just sell that too, not like i can really use it

Hey, it was a Dell Widescreen LCD 20inch monitor, going via Royal Mail Special Delivery tomorrow, hoping the £15 postage i charged covers it

:eek:
