eBay/ebid 10 a day challenge - any joiners?

too_much_debt

Thanks mrscmr - I had an Ebay business and was self employed but stopped doing it about 2 months ago as I wasn't selling much and didn't have much stock left as I couldn't afford to buy anymore, plus with the 3 kids (5, 4 and 18 months) it's hard to do it properly. I am hoping that when DD3 goes to Playgroup/Nursery that I can start up again, I was selling children's Character clothing, it was so much fun but doing it did get me into debt. Plus I was finding it hard to keep up with the paperwork, I still haven't done last years tax return, must crack on with it but our printer is broken and I can't print out the monthy forms to fill them in and it's harder doing it on the computer. I will also get a tax return for the 5 months of this year so must update that paperwork ready too.

I really had so much fun over the years doing my Business stuff and am sad that I can't do it now. I'd love to have a little shop and sell stuff but am not very business savvy.

i will be setting up an ebay shop and off to the nec in feb to the spring fair to meet wholesalers!

I go to that every year for work mrscmr - you get some good freebies too. BUT make sure you get a plan beforehand and arrange your route because its HUGE and impossible to do the whole thing in one day

Talking about magazines - has anybody sold clippings? My magazines haven't really sold but there's plenty of piccies of people such as Angelina Jolie....and people are selling these....

Can you make much money these days as an eBay shop? I guess you need to find something that you can buy and sell for a good profit...and I have far too much stuff of my own to even consider what things they may be :rotfl:

Anybody got the Sept 2009 Hello magazine?...someone wants it on the 'want it now' section

I sell clippings quite frequently. I find its people from aboad who buy them as they don't get them in their country. anything to do with twilight sells well at the moment i'm finding.

mrscmr

how the heck do you sell a clipping?

and @floxxie.. i just re-read an earlier posting... dodgy shoes... who??? me!!! would I? ok only once - never again!

luckily i have a partner in crime who is very switched and savvy! we will tackle this together and both clear our debts!

keep going girls... we can do this!

Purpleroses

well the way I do is to go through the celeb mags i have and just cut out articles relating to the same people. i've found Christina Aguilera, take that, twilight anyone whos in the news a lot sell well. best i did was £10 for about 60 clippings of Johnny Depp. madness!

well im not in your league mrscmr, only got 52 listed at the minute, but do have 32 watchers on these,although that dowsnt mean anything, but hopefully some will turn into bids.

I would love to set up my own ebay business, as I cant work because of illness,but I wouldnt have a clue of what to sell or the funds to start it up.
