  • I do most of my stuff auction now as I have about 6 BIN's and haven't even got any offers recently, bit of a pain.

    When I was selling new stock I tended to do them on BIN. But if I sell my own stuck I tend to do auctions.

  • I used to do BIN or auction with BIN on my Business ID but have stopped doing it now, I wasn't able to buy anymore stock with all the debt I have. I was selling more on my Personal ID so am sticking with that for now until my youngest DD goes to Playgroup or Nursery and then might start again.

    I stopped doing ebay as a business when I split with my ex as just didnt have the time or the right frame of mind. I have loads of stock in my garage so really should get my act together.

    I have heard a lot of bad things though about ebay saying its dying a death, but I am not convinced.

  • I am getting rid of what was left of my Business stock in my Personal ID, am listing bits here and there, I don't really have much left but do have lots of stationery items and some short sets but will keep them until next year.

    I think it's just because people don't have much money at the moment with the state of the Economy which is why I thought I would wait a couple of years and see how it is. Since having kids I wanted to do Ebay properly (not part time like I was) and see if I could make a living out of it rather than go out to work as at least I would be around if the kids were ill or anything.

  • Hi CAFC - just think of the extra money, that is my motivation today, going to try and find lots of stuff, even if it doesn't sell at least it's free and I can just relist for 99p next time.

    Are you up to anything nice today? We might go and look at a car, not sure how much I will get for mine part exchange but don't really want to pay more than £200-£300.

    Apart from that it's Ebay, Ebay, Ebay.

    I'm up to 700 posts now at what point do I get my next star, I thought it was 700 posts, is it 750?
