Anyone up for an Ebay/Amazon challenge?

You are kind of let off then I guess....it's a positive start!

(i'm so excited...someone bid again...a whole 5pence more than before. *note to self. Must get out more!* )

Thanks Novagirl.

I think I need an 'ology to work all that out or maybe it's just my brain switching off. I will have a proper look tomorrow and see if it makes more sense then. Would you recommend getting Paypal account and, if so, what are the advantages?

(sorry, just saw the names together on the frontpage and the sound of them together made me smile - I'll get my coat now)

Hmm, I have my ups and downs with Paypal. It's secure but you are meant to send all your items by a traceable method to be fully covered if the buyer claims money back from you. Buyers tend to prefer Paypal because of the claim-back that they offer and that the seller(us!) don't get to know their personal bank details.

I don't mind accepting cheques personally as then I don't have Paypal fees on top. (I had to upgrade my Paypal account when I ran a business which meant more fees)Most of my items are fairly low value items which means I don't end up with much profit.

Might be worth you just looking at the Paypal fees and seeing if it is something for you

Morning everyone and welcome to the newbies. I have updated the list.

LucyKat - I have updated your target to 1000 items :T

Hopehope and Scarlett - well done on your sales already

Bing0 - good luck with the £6k, is that just from personal stuff you are selling??

Icklepickle - yes that is mad but we have all been there. I remember some programme saying if you haven't used or worn something in a year then get rid. I say get that bag on and get some cash in your pocket

Yes some old bits I got given by a relative.Made about £800 in the last 2 weeks,but I'll start my total from 18/1/09.Thanks and good luck to everyone.

I would love to join in with this, I have some old mobiles, a camera, books and a few other bits and bobs... soooo I'm going to aim for £200 by March please

I was thinking of listing the books on Amazon, never used it before, can I list my old camera on there too??

I had a look on Amazon today, I think you can only sell things that they already sell, if you know what I mean? so if they still sell that camera then you will be able to sell it and if they don't you won't

Great idea!

I've found 5 bags of junk I don't use but which is sellable - I'm aiming to raise a minimum of £100 a month from Ebay until it's gone!

Anything made on Ebay is to be paid straight off my debts...first one I'm aiming at now Money Shop has been exorcised is the RBS overdraft (have been having bad dreams about them withdrawing it so the sooner it goes the better!)

Am also going to shove the mountain of books in my spare room on to Amazon when I get time this week
