Costume Jewellery for pennies

Whilst browsing on Ebay this morning, looking at costume Jewellery
I found a seller that is selling everything at practically pennies... with free post and packaging
I managed to pick up some nice Jade earings for 1p and a bangle for 1p
all with free postage and packing
Great Bargain, its from an overseas seller in china
I was amazed at how much jewellery they are selling for 1p
So if you are a registered Ebay user there name is :

Quick go grab yourself a Bargain

Be aware though with this that you have to pay for insurance which is at least 3 pounds - it is actually compulsary.:rolleyes:0

OOps I just got stung by the £2.00 insurance
Nevermind still a bargain for £2.01p
would pay much more then that over here for them:j Things can only get Better :j0 -
Be careful when buying from abroad as they don't have the same regulations as the UK with regard to nickel content etc.0

I don't think ebay is allowed to be advertised on here, I understand it isn't your account but I think its against rules.0

The feedback's not brilliant either - a lot of people saying they didn't get their items. Hope all goes ok for you OP.0

You have got to ask yourself why someone would be selling things for a loss on e-bay?
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”:D0 -

So you don't have to pay for a skip. Seriosuly, we are selling a load of books at the moment for 99p listing (and lots of other stuff) as we do not rip off on the postage costs we are just about breaking even with the ebay and paypal charges (or making around 50p max per book). But it means we are getting rid of the stuff, someone will enjoy their purchase and we don't have to pay £100 + for another skip.
And the 60p's do add up. Look after the pennies..... and all that .....:j
More seriosuly though, I don't think some people understand all the fees involved. When we ebayed a lot I had a spreadsheet and a £1 sale made less than 20p at that time. This was based on an expected double listing fee, as things didn't usually sell 1st time and we always worked with caution, allowing for four listings. (2 paid and 2 free)
As you know ebay charge a listing fee, final fee, paypal minimum fee etc., We knew people were buying the same products as us, from the wholesalers and selling them at a loss.I want to be credit card and loan free by Christmas 20100 -

That's what freecycle is for.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
Yeah i've started to use Gumtree to shift unwanted items rather than Ebay. Fed up of ebay and paypal making the most of out my sales lol.Comping Fairy bring some luck my way! :dance:Love my Fiance Spiceboy :happyhear:iloveyou:0

If I can't make any money out of it, I'd rather it go to a charity shop and them make some money.
If it can't go to a charity shop (electrical items) then I'd rather someone used it so I tend to freecycle it.0
