  • I sold another item for £12 today, and a top for £3.21 (bit disappointing as it cost me £25, and still had the tags on it, but that was a couple of years ago). Also sold a book on amazon, think I only ended up with about £1.50 after postage, but it all helps lol.

  • I have been selling craft stash on a craft site - made £200 so far - have loads more, then its ebay for all the other stuff..... You're all right tho - hard to keep motivated. Just have to keep plugging away.

    Not having much luck on ebay recently so I've been preparing for a car boot sale. Only done one before and that was in the rain!

    Plan to do it over the next couple of weeks so nudge me if I haven't posted that I've done it :)

    From 12th March 2009, there's no Insertion Fee if you’re a private seller and you list your item in the auction-style format with a starting price of up to 99p (eBay.co.uk) or €1.49 (eBay.ie). Final Value Fee rates are also changing.
    Fees for business-registered sellers using the auction-style format will be unchanged.

    Not a free listing day but closest thing to it that I've seen in a while

    Hmmmm. For the better or the worse?
  • I'd like to join this please, have far too many clothes cluttering up my room (Shh don't tell OH I've just admitted that :eek: ).

    Hoping to get around £300 before my holiday on 7th to use as my spemding money.
