  • Had another item sell last night so my total is nearly at my target :j

    Got 5 items finishing at the weekend. Will start taking pictures this week so that I can load up some more at the weekend.

    ohhh i had a bidding war on one of my items just now. its sad i was so excited by it lol

    Not sad at all. Bidding wars are deffo OK to get exited about :D

    Slow day of sales yesterday, expecting same today. But tomorrow should be interesting as a few items have a load of watchers complete with bids. So hoping for my very own bidding war:rotfl:

    Hope to hit the £200 mark by Sunday.

    Wasn't going to list anymore items until Thursday, but I just couldn't resist listing another 18 last night!

    Don't forget making items to sell is also classed as a business and is taxable just like buying items to sell. There are lots of people who do it though but the taxman knows that and is clamping down on it via Ebay
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    I have posted this on the ebay board but I thought it worth posting here as well. Changes on ebay from October this year including the free post and packing being extended to all media including books.

    I'll definitely be checking out selling those bits on Amazon then!

    I would try and pledge to just listing everything in those categories before 19th October but erm...not likely to happen :o

    Wow this thread has been quiet the last couple of days!

    Anyhoo.... remember my post about what starting price for listing a Monsoon dress on eBay? Well have a look at this one which started at .99p..... looks like the person just downloaded the pic as well!

    http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=150361416885&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:BIDN

    Haven't listed my dress yet because my camera has been away for repair! Do you think this person was just lucky with getting a bidding war or do people much prefer a low starting price?

    Wowsers! That's some good going *off to see if any Monsoon dresses in wardrobe...*

    I tend to start at low prices unless I have an item I won't accept anything less for, I put the minimum price I'll accept up as a starting price - rather than setting a reserve through Ebay.

    But I just wanna get rid of stuff ASAP. It all seems to balance out for me, some bits only go for £1 - £2, but them some bits go for £20 +, just starting at 0.99

    Swings and roundabouts :cool:

    Wow St0lli, that dress was amazing.

    It seemed that there were 9 bidders interested in that dress in total. So i think there may be quite a few people interested in your item.

    I need some motivation. I have no items listed :o and i'm seriously lacking in motivation. I'm goin to relist 10 items tomorrow, but aim to do another 30 this weekend. I need someone to shout at me!

    Going to the post office with 17 parcels the other day, killed me! How do you guys do it?
