    Wll I thought I wiould just see how everyone is doing as it seems really quiet at the minute on here.

    I had a blip where a load of my listings didnt sell, but things have started to pick up a bit and with a bit of luck I might hit my August total after all:D

    I haven't been on here because I have been so busy with all my sales! I'm waiting payment for 4 items but otherwise have withdrawn £140 in the last couple of days...pleased with the money but even more so as I have cleared two large boxes of junk - yippee :p

    Didn't list anything new this weekend as I was home alone with the children but will making sure I make up for it this weekend.

    Brilliant Floxxie, I keep adding bits and bobs that I find in the shed or barn and OH says "no one will buy them" and then has a big grin when I say "see, they do sell".

    As I said before we are saving for a return trip to Norfolk next year, fantastic place right on the dunes, but because I broke my ankle 10 days before we went didnt get out much this year. Already paid the £100 deposit and are well on the way to the total balance.
    so glad I found this thread or we would never have managed it.

    Hi
    I am new on the forum but not new to the world of ebay! Like a lot of people, I like buying but find listing a real fag!

    I used to use Auctiva to list stuff as you could use as many photos as you like. Since I last used them they now appear to be charging a lot more! And I keep forgetting my log in which is annoying.

    So today with my oh's encouragement I sat and list some things on ebay using turbolister which makes things easier!

    I actually quite like doing it when I get into the swing of it. I have given up trying to list cds as everyman and his dog has a copy of Paul Young No Parlez to get rid of!

    Listing during the day time and best on a Thursday. Then if you list for 10 days you catch two weekends worth of ebay weekend bidders don't you!!

    I've been busy listing too - I have finally found some inspiration to get going too even though I had a neutral for about three days. The person was a noobie though and I explained her confusion and she withdrew her neutral and apologied :)

    I have sorted the spare room and put everything in boxes because I cannot work in a mess and I think that was destroying my willpower. But it looks good now and there are about 12 very large boxes to go
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    Hey Jesa
    Well done.... That really used to havk me off, esp when its a newbie, they use feedback for such stoopid reasons. Glad you resolved it!
    I sold something today.. It was the last thing I thought I would sell so Im quite happy!
