Welcome homealone,
I understand your ebay frustration, i was in the same boat, at the moment its free to list you item for 99p, so if it doesn't sell you dont loose, but you got to be ok with it selling for 99P. Unfortunately thats the reality of ebay, sometimes you do lose and so times you win.
i normally will bump up my postage if i feel the item is worth more ....controversial:rolleyes: ...but alot of people do it

i noticed the 99p free bit so like you will probably list a few things i might ordinarily have given away or hidden in the depths of my four bursting wardrobes. i guess as long as my postage and cost of posting materials is covered all the 99ps may add up. just breaks my heart selling stuff for 99p when the tag is still on and saying a minimum if £15.00 but trying higher prices dont work either. will list some more today and cross my fingers

Hey

I've managed to sell some of my rubbish today 180 of my items finished today but it didn't cost me anything so i relisted them this morning

Out of the rubbish i made about £18.00 which i thought was good for things i have had for years!

I have a box full of football programmes from 1958 - 2001 for various different teams that i really should get listed as they are just sitting here taking up space. My aim is to list 10 of them a night until they are all listed so will let you know how i get on with them.

:j Welldone buddiebabe!!!
i have manage to make just under £30 sold 14 items, well 6 are still waiting to end so could be more:T

Thanks Lexx glad your listings are going so well i think only 2 of mine went for just over 99p some only sold for 25p but its still 22p in my pocket!!!

I've just listed 9 items.... 8 of them are football programmes... i now remember why i've not listed them... they smell of damp and you have to go through every page to make sure they are ok and then describe them its going to take me ages. I did do it through turbo lister as it was easier to go in and just amend the wording but i think aiming for 10 a night might be pushing myself too much with me working both jobs but will see what happens.

Hope your other 6 items do well for you.

One of the items i relisted this morning is selling for 99p so i now have 271 items listed and one selling :rolleyes:

:eek: 271!!!

i tried to list more, but i ran out of steam, all my listings have ended now, sold 17 before fees, i made £44, quite happy about that,

I have relisted most things and added some more, so total is 48 items listed,
not sure i have the energy to list anymore this week,

forgotten how much effort ebay take, i have been doing some serious cleaning up & cleaning out!!
good news is i have a bag full of real tat to take to charity shop now:rotfl:

Oh wow you two, that's great eBaying!

I still haven't done anything this week and of course forgot it was Mothering Sunday so my plan to start today was stopped first thing. I really really will be joining you tomorrow though.

BB, I've sold loads of things that have been mouldy or smell horrible. I describe as well as I can and have always had positive feedback. Could never work out why somebody would want to buy smelly things until I had to when I needed to find some out of print books. Good luck with the footie programmes. Hopefully they will make lots of money for you.

Need to get the balance this week between cleaning, studying, match betting and eBaying...it's going to be very busy...

I listed five bits of tat earlier... then saw this thread and listed another five (10 was my target)! All are 99p items so didn't cost me anything to list... will be happy even if I only get one bid on them :S

Can't believe how many some of you have listed - you must have the patience of a saint. From now on my aim is to list 10x 99p items per week until the summer...

buddiebabe

Well i have just listed another 14 footie programmes bringing my grand total of items listed to 285.... i really wanted to get to 300 but i can't be bothered anymore!!!

I will try and do 15 over the course of the week i really dont think there's anyway i'll be able to do 10 a night the way im feeling just now im so tired and i've had a sore throat for 3 weeks now and just when i thought it was clearing up its flared up again so i think im going to struggle to get through 2 jobs let alone ebay but then again who knows
