    Aww taka, I'm sure no one will try to scam you if you are selling bits and bobs, i think its mainly on expensive phones, laptops etc...ive sold 2 laptops, and tons of new phones from my upgrades and never been scammed. Most people on ebay are honest!

    And once you start, it really is addictive, this is really terrible, and a bit sad, but I have been known to wander into my sisters room to look for things to sell!

    Just made £55 by selling a camera to my mum, at least I'm (pretty sure) she isn't trying to scam me :rotfl:

    good news today - i got a refund of council tax from when i lived at my last house - god knows why but i am not questioning it!!!

    it's for £138 so that makes up most of that big bad loss on the matched betting mistake last week - phew!!

    £22 into my account today from a matched betting offer. Other stuff already mentioned has arrived in my account (minxy, takea break) and I've started a new list, blutacked where the others are, of "expected but not yet in" - which contains quidco, the phone interview, a £13 Amazon sale and a couple of mystery shops - that totals about £80.

    nyk, is eBaying or amazon or car boots not a possible for you? Also tutoring maybe? Those are my major sources..

    eBaying and Amazon are possibilities but I always end up with more fees than it's worth between listing, selling and PayPal gtransactions, so I'm concentrating on trying to do a store on eBid, as I don't pay any fees there. Car boots and anything involving tabletop sales, markets etc are no go as there isn't anything like that near us and nobody wants to travel out here for things as we are along a single track road in the middle of nowhere.

    I'm having a fairly lucky day today, although no premium bonds win this month. I got a Google payment through for £69.05 and today's free scratchcards had £5 on one and £1 on the other It shouldn't be long before I can withdraw more from there. Free bingo etc is now out completely because I don't have the necessary Internet connection speed - too far from nearest telephone exchange for broadband to work properly!

    Cashback is slow in being confirmed! Have over £100 lying about the place and only about £7 I'm able to claim at the moment. Surely these will become due within the next 38 days to let me get at least half way to my target :D
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    £3 from P!necone today.

    Got some ebay auctions ending this week but not many bids so far! Also waiting for some t*pcashback transactions to confirm. Should also be able to withdraw free scratchcard money before challenge ends.
