WELL DONE HOOS!!! Fab total! :j

I've found an old icecream tub that I am now going to use to store and packing materials and small boxes to save moeny...Just got a little bit of bubblewrap and have put it in there! :T

I always reuse old packaging and old bubble wrap ~ hardly ever buy anything new to send items in.

I believe buyers appreciate it if you state that you reuse or salvage packaging for posting on.(I'm all for it).

I also believe that if you state that items come from pet free or smoke free homes,this can help your sales too.

Also it is worth quoting worldwide postage prices when you start a listing.There have been occasions over the years where buyers have been shocked to find that the item weighed over 2kg and the postage prices were alot more than the item !

I have several items finishing later,so I'll update my total (minus fees) later.

Thanks and keep listing......

Made £134.00 after fees today,so £434.00 in total.I hope it keeps on going like this all year ! I may actually end up in credit.:j

Got another £40 in the bank today :j and hopefully another £50 in the next few days :j so proud of myself lol!!

It's motivated me to get another set of items listed tonight too.

Well done to everyone so far - you're all so inspirational!!

All paid up on my fees and waiting for another £20 to be paid...only £5 away from withdrawing another £50 down into the bank....so like Nic I need to get another lot on PDQ!!!

Edit: Just added another 3 items.....and will start "hiding" all the old toys from DS so he won't miss them when I sell them!

Heelo everyone - i would love to join you!! I have just read all the posts and i think it will really give me the KICK i need to list lots!!! I need to make money but i also need the space, I have been meaning to sell lots to clear room for new baby and to also use anymoney i make towards buying new things for baby! Im 32 weeks tomorrow so only have 8 weeks left - think i need to get going with it............

So could i please go for £250 by the 23rd March (due date!!!!) and then i will sort a new total for after baby is born.....and if i can get £250 towards any new things i need for baby this will be a great help!! (its no3 so have the big things like cot etc so hopeing not to need to spend tooo much......)

Anyway of to subscribe to this thread and will get listing asap!! Do people really find it better to finish on a sun?? Does it improve sales on most things...... I have loads of baby clothes to sell (Don't ask i have sooo many that i have to sell some as I wont need all for this baby...) i was thinking of selling in bundles of same size etc?? anyone think this will do better? and will these sell more on a sun........loads of qs sorry

I will get my act in gear and sell sell sell!! (need to go find room in my sig to keep me motivated....)
