  • Hi - have relisted 6 magazines and newly listed 5 :T . Watchers already for some.
    My dh was 'done' by the not so local but shorter wait p.o. - 78p for a cd for amazon whereas I pay 45p at the main p.o.:confused: they cahrges for a large letter, but it fits through the smallest slot.
    I can see the dining room table again - we can have dinner on it tonight:rotfl:

    I've listed 4 more today ending next Sunday. My target's only 2 a week (haven't got THAT much junk I don't want lol).

    I've already got a watcher on my Bad Girls DVD. I've still got 2 up ending on Sunday, I'm hoping for quite a high price as the last time I looked one of my items was the only auction style, the rest were expensive Buy it Nows!

    Morning all (well GeologyRocks anyway as there is only the two of us 'awake' on this thread)!

    Good to see the clutter is gradually moving out of people's houses. I seem to be on a go slow knowing that I have several days in which to list at 5p and that is really the wrong attitude so I am going to take a couple of days off from visiting this site as I don't get anything done.

    Will pop in Sunday evening to see how everybody is doing. Still working through the stuff I put in the living room over three weeks ago so need to concentrate now.

    Catch up soon.

    It certainly does - let us know when you have hit £500 - it will keep us motivated!

    I did it! I made the overpayment yesterday! I am including stuff thats on its way to my account, rather than having it arrive, but thats because if I do the overpayment by the end of the calendar month, my mortgage payment in November will take account of it. There's only two Amazon sales in that total - most of it is mystery shopping, matched betting and the cashback from a couple of big ticket items, but still, the Amazon stuff helped. Thanks for the motivation, Floxxie!

  • I've shifted the five items I listed the other day - all sold, paid, posted :D I've just listed another three items. One item to post but that'll be sent on Monday now.

    I should pace myself but I enjoy seeing my 'to sell' list getting smaller. I just wish I hasd got that 5p listing offer... then my listings would be flying on!

    completlylost, I understand what you mean about seeing the 'to sell' list get smaller & smaller, i have 7 left and 3 bids, feels good.:j posted a whole load of packages today, house feels more roomy already:rotfl:

    You should still try and list and see what happens, i was reading on the ebay board and some one who hadn't recieved the 5p listing invite had listed a whole load of stuff through activa and when they checked their ebay charges, they were all listed at 5p.
    worth a shot, i'm going give it a try and see:p
