  • Hi everyone, did well on ebay today, sold in the region of £200 still to get paid for some items and take off fees so will update whats actually in my paypal account after all fees taken off if that makes sense. I'm shattered, been listing since half six, still didn't get all i wanted listed :rolleyes: oh well, i picked some pretty complicated stuff to list and i'm a bit of a perfectionist, i won't leave it alone till it's perfect. anyway i've got £88.40 to update my sig with, good luck everyone!

  • Argh!! Believing my own hype... !

    I'm just starting to list a bag that I've had for over 5 years, still BNWT and never used. I bought it in the sale because it was a bargain, not because I liked it. :rolleyes:

    So I'm doing a quick search to see similar items, thinking about what I'll write in my listing and what is the thought running through my head?

    "Hmm, maybe I do like it after all.. maybe I should keep it.."

    WHAT??? I've not used it in FIVE YEARS!

    This is being a shopaholic at its absolute worst :mad:

    Anyone else like this or am I mad? :rotfl:

    Morning everyone and welcome to the newbies. I have updated the list.

    LucyKat - I have updated your target to 1000 items :T

    Hopehope and Scarlett - well done on your sales already :D

    Bing0 - good luck with the £6k, is that just from personal stuff you are selling??

    Icklepickle - yes that is mad but we have all been there. I remember some programme saying if you haven't used or worn something in a year then get rid. I say get that bag on and get some cash in your pocket :D

    Oooh I have a bid on one of my items. See, this is my problem with ebay. I can't stay off there once I have things for sale. Not that me looking is going to make people bid more :rolleyes: :o

    Plan to put a few more bits on today. That bid of 99p isn't going to make much of a dent in my target.

    Morning all :)

    Was good, and got 5 listed last night, on for 10 days. Had a few on already, which are finishing in the next few days. Jealous of all you guys with money coming in already! :p

    Hopefully aiming to get another 5-10 items on tonight.

    Well done to everyone with lots of willpower, getting rid of all their clutter! :T
