well i've just logged into my Paypal to find over £70 from ebay sales. Such a pity I'll need to take postage and packaging and ebay fees out of that lots of the items are quite bulky so will be expensive to post. will update tomorrow!
(ooh...my first weird item has a bid of 99p! my boyfriend was throwing out some old socks so i put them on! lol)

I can beat you both! I made a whole 86p! :rotfl:

these 99p sales really aren't worth it!

I made good use of the MSE down time and put another 15 items on turbolister, should have done more really.

Cant believe this one though, I sold some CD's on Music Magpie but noticed that the Jaki Graham one was on at a high price on Amazon and recently sold for £38.50 on Ebay (lots of LP versions, not CD) so have stuck it on at £19.99 and have 1 watcher so far.

...Wanders in having knowing idea what the heck she is doing.:o

Ok, so i have loads of books, clutter etc that needs to go.

I gave a lot to charity but now i have decided that charity has to begin at home. My sister, another MSE'er, has said she will list my items etc on eBay for me and help me. I am also going to sell my books/DVD's through Amazon? Would that be the best idea, do you think?

I would love to be added to the list.

I will try £100pcm initially - so that would be about £800-£900 by the end of the year:eek:

Does my tat add up to that?

I think i will some need some help and advice folks.

Will go and subscribe to this thread so i don't miss anything xxx

If you are new to selling on ebay (or your sis is) make sure that her seller preferences are set very strictly to exclude time wasters:

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/buyer-requirements.html

Start from here to set buyer requirements to exclude overseas bidders or bidders with NPB strikes etc.

On Amazon check the final price you would get for a sale before you confirm listing. With postal prices up to day there are a lot of 1p novels out there that will make the sellers a huge loss. There is an Amazon thread on the ebay board with tips about how to list and how to price for better sales.

I have just done my first listing on Amazon.

My sis is an old hand at eBay. I'm a virgin seller.

I have still to get my head round the sellers settings etc.

Thanks for that x

Thanks to the OP - in a week I have 'earnt' over £290 - of which £105 will go towards my cc bill - the costs are high though..£32 for sellers fees but that still nets me a profit of £260 odd. The rest is through selling my old sports stuff which I plan to spend on a new hobby and paying off my overdradt (only £191 at the moment but still 17 days to pay day and its Easter hols...)

I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for this thread so keep up the good work (btw - I've sold all my decent stuff so I think I'll be reporting gains on the odd ££ soon )
