I get it to do the sum for me but to be honest because I was lazy in setting it up it takes almost as long to put the formula in as it would to just type it in a calculator

Depending on how many/ size I send clothes either in an A4 envelope or use cheapo black bags to wrap them up.
If its baby clothes that aren't designer is usually best to sell as a bundle so SB suggested putting together enough to fill a nappy box (and because of this I know have a pile of nappies/wipes big boxes on top of the wardrobe:rotfl:)

Hi Ladies,

Think I will join you all if you dont mind? Even if Im not pregnant anymore! (Im kind of missing my bump .....)

Lexi is already growing out of clothes and we have stuff thats still got tags on just like AM so may as well start listing them plus all of the stuff I have been collecting over I dont know how long thinking 'i will list this on ebay' then never getting round to it! LoL

Finally, I've got an update!

I must admit I've let this slip of late so back on from now!

Managed to do some more freelance work so an extra £200 added to the total in sig :T

Glamazon - thanks for the push I think you have the right idea the sooner the better. We have a small baby fund going in a big Eeore Money Box in living room after a quick count up there is £63.12 in there so thats the start of it. Have plenty of books and odds and ends to get my ebay savings started. May have to start a spread sheet too

Well only 5 of my items sold, so thats £6.15 pants!
Will it work out more expensive to buy them bags from the post office?

Sami_Bee

AM - you don't need proper post bags, just use bin bags or carrier bags and plenty parcel tape
if you do want proper post bags they'll be cheaper off ebay or from £1 shops

what just wrap them in the plastic bags and send them? wat about writing an address?

Ladies - have any of you sold/bought magazines on ebay?

I've got a huge pile of pregnancy related ones, and don't know whether to bother listing them - or should I just freecycle them instead?

DS's room is getting a sort out tomorrow, so i'll no doubt have some of his stuff to list. And Violet has finally gone into 3-6 month size, so the 0-3 can go on too.

just print/write it on a bit of paper and stick it on.
I use envelopes with windows and print off the invoice/packing slip from ebay,
put that in the envelope and sick it on

3onitsway - I did a search of "pregnancy magazine" completed listings and it looks like they don't really sell.
