  • Right I have made a start! Listed 41 books on greenmet and 12 dvds on ebay, all started at 99p so they were free listings :j I am going to do some more books but on ebay tomorrow and a few other bits and bobs but need to do some pics of them first :beer:
  • Ok havent got off to a great start

    Bit of a novice at this but can things only be listed on either say amazon or ebay..........not both? Probably a stupid question but just wondered!!
    Its hard to wait around for that something you know may never happen,but its harder to give up when you know its everything you ever wanted.........


    People tell me Im going the wrong way..............when its simply a way of my own!

    Have just uploaded another 13 items on my ebay, mainly shoes & trainers, phew!! thats a relief, still have at least another 15 or so to do for tomorrow.
  • I listed about 9 magazines yesterday, some childrens/baby clothing and other childrens items. Have one bid on something I listed last night, have a load more to get listed tonight.

    Going back down our Annex later to see what else I can find, just need shot of a load of stuff.

    For those who use Ebid, how good is it, do you sell much? Just wondering if it's worth listing stuff on there, I have registered with them so maybe will try one or two.

    Thanks

    People are doing well! I'm not, oops, but I'm still here, still checking the thread!

    LoopyLinz - I'm pretty sure you can list the same stuff on several sites, but it does mean you need to be *really* quick about taking it off the other site(s) when it sells - so you'd be needing to keep checking pretty regularly, I would think. And the first I hear of a sale on Amazon is when I get the money, so that would need to be refunded if it sold on ebid or somewhere first. So it *could* get complex - hopefully posters will be along who've actually got experience of it.

    Morning!,

    I'm also failing a little this weekend - I thought I would have more time but no so I still have 20 items to list to hit the weekly target. I'm off out today so fingers crossed that I have the time later this evening to get it done! However if I don't there is always next week..and the week after that...and the week after that...:rotfl:

    Re selling on two sites. I have in the past done this with Amazon and GreenMet and had to email GreenMet three times when teh item sold as I had already sold the item on Amazon and had forgotten to take it off my GreenMet list. I don't bother now as it is added hassle trying to remember along with everything else.

    Don't forget it's magazine listing week next week (if you have any that is). How are people going to send their sold magazines? Last time I used bubblewrap and brown paper but perhaps this is a little OTT (it was on postage price!). Any suggestions?

  • I have 46 items listed, 19 on Turbolister ready to be listed, and a whole pile of clothing and magazines to be uploaded to Turbolister, want to try and get as much done as possible today.

    I hadn't thought about how I would post the magazines, they are quite thick ones and I have padded bags from Poundland which I can use, will have to go there and stock up, maybe tomorrow as bf is off work this week.

    I used to have loads of Virginia Andrews hardback books but when we moved 3 years ago I have no idea where they went as they are not in our Annex, we sorted that all out last year (before we put it all back again). Not sure if they are in the loft, bf had a look once before but will have to get him to look again, I'm gutted if they got lost in the move.
