Anyone up for an Ebay/Amazon challenge?
Comments

Just posted another 5 things from Amazon and got home to find another order but it will have to wait until monday.
I am listing on Ebay (when I get round to it) and Amazon, what's GreenMet?
Looking for places where it is easy to list books, dvds and cds.

It's www.greenmetropolis.com
You get three pounds for every book sold, that has to cover postage too so you're not really going to get rich quick, but it's quite a good way to steadily clear the bookshelves. If a book is particularly bulky you can request a small extra postage credit. And for every book sold they make a small donation (can never remember if it's 5 or 15p) to the Woodland Trust.
On the upside it takes about thirty seconds to list a book...:T
I'm having a *nightmare* with Amazon today - my 20 listings from last night have all appeared without descriptions - according to Amazon that problem was 'resolved' by this morning - erm, no it's not!
V. grumpy because it's just such an unneccessary pain in the !!!! - I rely on the comments box to give an accurate description of what I'm selling, and I'm quite sure that sometimes the fact that I'm thorough is what sells it for me - grrrrrr!!!! :mad:0 -
Thanks Lucy, I might give it a go for the things I can't sell on Amazon.
I've got about 30 listings on there at the moment and I never really check them so will have to have a look if they are ok as like you say the description needs to be on there.Sealed Pot Challenge #623, Boots points = 619Current Debts: £62K:A0 -
Well I am sitting here finishing off a few of my Qype reviews for my £50 Virgin voucher while watching a few ebay items end. Will have to list a few more after I'm done!0

I got bored of doing the reviews on Qype but might think about doing some later.

Spent the morning at the post office sending off Ebay parcels and spent the afternoon listing items on Ebay - now got 17 items on there. A couple are quite high price ones so please everybody cross your fingers that someone out there has got some money to bid and buy.:T
It is very boring and time consuming but I keep looking at my siggy and thinking about updating it and paying off some of my CCs.:DDebt free and Keeping on Track0 -
Sold another CD this afternoon and got a snotty message from one buyer about the whereabouts of their DVD - they only ordered it 2 days ago! lol
Going to try and make £500 as I desperately need a boost to my cash flow over the next couple of months. Got loads of Clarins and perfume gift sets to put on ebay.Sealed Pot Challenge #623, Boots points = 619Current Debts: £62K:A0 -
