  • Hi

    Just popping in to say 'hello'. :hello:

    Good to see some sales being made. My ebay stuff finishes on Sunday, one item has already sold, and I have another two with no bids at the mo. They're all low value items, but it all counts!

    Planning to get lots more listed on the weekend...fingers crossed!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Wow - 6 of my items just closed (siggy updated). I have made almost £200 in two weeks:j

    Made a list today of loads more items to put up on Ebay - my aim is to have at least six items on the go all the time:eek: I am not sure how much longer I can last though, I'm finding it harder and harder to find things to list.

    My saying at the moment is "can i Ebay it?" or "how much will it sell for?":T

    :D My items finish Sunday/Monday,at present £50.00 in bids,so not too bad.Listing more Sat/Sun,I'm also making ground with emptying a garage I rent.I didn't realise how much rubbish I had in it......!
    I've come across a few interesting boxes of items,so that'll keep me busy.

    My garage was £38.00 a month 3 years ago,it now is £65.00.Getting rid of it will be difficult for storage more than anything,but to save £780.00 a year it is well worth it.Its amaizing what you don't need,when you are honest with yourself.:rolleyes:

    Keep your chins up,we are all in this together,would you be rather standing in a field selling items for 20p on a car boot in this challenging weather,or sitting at home doing it in the warmth and listing as and when......

    Good luck everyone,dont get down if your sales are not much,we are doing this in testing times.We have to be of the mind that anything helps.

    Good luck all, have a great weekend and POSITIVE thoughts ONLY.;)

  • Well Done Everyone with their challenges!

    I am aiming to make AT LEAST £150 from Ebay/Amazon in Feb! BRING IT ON!!

    Made £72 from 19 items, sending the last of them off today :)
  • They're all low value items, but it all counts!

    Couldn't agree more - I've had a few go for buttons, but as long as your P&P is right (and includes the 2nd "P"!!!) it all adds up, and the only figure that counts is that lovely transfer from paypal to your bank account to pay the debts off!! :)

    Morning everyone - its true, every little bit does count - I have started listing some of my items at 99p (some have sold for that), but its better than nothing at all. All those little pounds will add up over the year!

  • Hi all, can I join in too please?

    I didn't realise there was a thread which might motivate me to actually put some things on Ebay - got a big box which I can't face right now as it just takes so long to list.

    Listed 35 things on Amazon this week and have made £43 after deducting postage so not a bad start.

    Morning!
    Posted off latest sale today so £17.90 to add. In Jan i made £63.97 which I don't think is too bad given I wasn't really trying but I feel all geared up for listing. Don't like having no listings up so have made a small pile of 10 items that are going up over the weekend. figure if i start small it'll make listing easier.

    ok i'm rambling. hope everyone has a nice weekend!
