    Thanks purpleroses, I've decided to count it as it was money back, rather than savings (and I need all the help I can get really!).

    Still in two minds about whether to list on ebay...

    I've just sold another book on amazon, should be about £6.50 profit after postage but will update signature once been to the post office.

    You have got a cash balance on your account?

    If you have simply click the scratch cards tab, then select the free daily atlantis scratchie, and play it the money you win goes automatically in to your cash balance.

    Another £31.28 from ebay sales to add on. My scratchcards are all at withdrawable amounts, but I'm gonna wait for another fortnight and let them build up a little more.

    I've also sent some old phones off, so I'm waiting for a few pounds worth of cheques from that.

    Got a £5 scratch so my time to next payout just reduced fantastically, and logged in to ShopandScan to find I can claim another £10 there too (I cant believe how quickly it builds up).

    My magp1e cd's are waiting to be sent as well, should do that tomorrow when I've found a suitable package for them. Sending 6 cd's, what's the best way, a box?

    A big bubble envelope would probably do but as its free to post them a box would be good too
    I'm really not doing too well - I've heard ebay shuts down pretty much over august, so wondering whether to wait until September to do listings? Although then I will definitely not make the challenge.

    QUOTE]

    Thats definately not correct museumworker - I've never found any problems selling items in August, in fact if you are selling entertainment items or summer clothing you would find sales increase during summer holiday season. Ebay is always busy and sales tend to increase near payday and Sun/Mon/Tues evenings

    No money made for me yet today but I am working on it. Will do some ebay listings tonight myself too

    Hi peeps! Have been super busy with work (and taking a few really needed days off work too :j) so haven't logged in in ages.

    Nothing to add though, another small sale on ebay that's not been paid up and £45 in birthday money from people who didn't know what to get me :D though I'm not counting that since it was kindof expected.

    Means I think I'm going to have a tough job reaching target this month, eek!
