Ebay - November Challenge

Just what it says on the title really - make as much as possible from selling on ebay in November.

I'm aiming for £500 which I want to put into my ISA.

Anyone want to join me? I'm including anything/everything that sells in November. I'm hoping to start listing next week.

Hopefully business will be brisk due to people wanting to pick up bargain xmas pressies.;)

If you want to join let me know your target and I'll add you to the role of honour.

Good Luck:beer:

1: Little Chicken - £500
2: Lallysmum - £200
:grin: Save me from spending...

    Sounds like a great plan, just in time for Christmas too!
    I have a load of stuff listed now ending this afternoon, and a load more to list.
    Are we allowed to swap ebay IDs here? We could maybe save each other some cash!

    Can it count stuff I am listing today on 7 day auctions?

    Welcome lallysmum.:D

    Yay - it can include what you're listing today as it will sell in November.;)

    I think I should possibly have posted this thread on DFW.:o:o:o:o

    There's already an ebay challenge on the DFW wannabe forum. Not a monthly one though.

    I'll report my progress here. I currently have 2 items listed finishing next Sunday.

    Thanls Sharon87.

    I've asked for this thread to be moved to DFW, as that's where the monthly challenge usually goes. Do you want me to add your target for the month to the list?;)

    As this is an ebay thread I think it should stay on this board, however I have asked for forum team review in case they would prefer it moved and/or merged with the main ebay challenge.

    I would love to join but I think I have sold my best stuff last month and I am now really struggling to find things to sell - I am down to books and videos (neither of which make any money)
