No more bids on Ebay overnight, but I have got 6 things ready for listing this evening and will list the amazon vouchers on Thursday when I receive them.
I know this month I am paying my sister off, however I have been paying regular amounts to my uncle each month and therefore I only owe him £200 now :T . I will give him another £100 from my wages next month and that means that I will only have to find £100 extra next month to pay him off. If I can do that by the middle of the month then it gives me around 6 weeks to pay my mum off which is going to be the tricky one (£500).

I've listed my items on Ebay and am up to £4.17 in bids, plus the £5 from the BIN item.
I think I have just about worked out how to get the £250 to pay back my sister. I am now trying to think of how to get the £200 for my uncle (only £100 really as will use £100 from my wages like I have been every month).
I've got £22 worth of mystery shopping work next month but jobs are really thin on the ground at the moment. However, I have just applied for a load more companies so I'm hoping that I can get some more work soon.

I woke up in quite a good mood as had a decent night's sleep. However, Ebay have just ruined that by taking my listing off again :mad: . I clearly stated in the auction that you didn't need a prescription to buy the Frontline that I was selling but obviously the Ebay staff just take off listings without even looking at the description. I have sent another shirty email to them but as the first didn't get a response I doubt this one will either. :mad: at Ebay.
Anyway, I've got a mystery shop to do today and I'm up to £5.16 in bids on Ebay.

Done my mystery shop today but still have to write up the report. I've managed to get another mystery shop for the middle of March, it's a bit further out than I would normally go but beggers can't be choosers and all that.
No reply from Ebay - what a surprise!! :mad: . My Ebay items are up to £8.91.

your doing well on paying off your family, yay on the ebay bids!!! i think you may not be able to sell frontline from the vets as some people have been known to use it for illegal stuff (saw in paper) the supermarkets and pet stores can only sell the weaker stuff coz of misuse??? is it for cats or dogs?? i have a cat so may purchase it off you???December 2018: £20,850.24. Now: £18,333.02 Total paid in 2019: £2517.22

Woohoo - Ebay items have gone over the £10 mark at £10.42 :T . Is it wrong to be this excited ?:rotfl:
.
I have also been accepted to 3 new mystery shopping sites after applying last night so fingers crossed some work comes out of those.

Thank you
I have often sold vouchers on Ebay when I used to win them in competitions. As long as the voucher is for a well known shop, you get pretty much the face value for it. Especially lower amounts. I sold a £5 Amazon voucher on there the other week for £5. I think it's ok to sell sim cards on there too but there are so many people doing it, I believe that Ebay is swamped with them. Worth a try though if you bundled a load together?

A pretty good evening
. Not only have my Ebay items gone up to £11.22 but I have also sold another 2 items for £5 each (special thanks to ragstoricheswannabe :A ). One was the game that I got for £3.50 when I did my mystery shop the other day. Stuck it on Ebay with a BIN of £5 and someone bought it :T .
My running total for Ebay is now £26.22/£100. Not bad at all.
My running total for my change jar is also £7.36/£30 so nearly a third of the way there. I have also worked out that I have £42.50 worth of mystery shopping jobs that will pay out at the end of next month which is nearly half of what I will have to pay my uncle.

Morning all
My Ebay items creeped up to £11.66 overnight. Plus I had a question on one of my unbid items so hopefully that person will bid or even BIN.
I've put my £1 in my change jar so up to £8.36 in there.
Should receive those Amazon vouchers today so will list them ASAP.

Ebay items are now up to £16.28. I've also received my £10 Amazon voucher so have listed that too
.
I haven't managed to get anymore mystery shops today. Was really close but someone else accepted the only one I could do as I was accepting it :rolleyes: .
