August no spend + £15 a day challenge

Good stuff! Im hoping i can get my sig like yours in 2 months Vikki Really on paper if i can take in £1500 and spend less than £350 in a month then thats £1150 off my debt = £825.77 left

Which means il have it paid off by the end of September if i manage to get my income right up! I work my wages out at about £1100 a month, might be wrong though.

try reducing the quality of your pics a little bit - may be that your camera is set to high resolution setting...?

thats 19 items on and 1 bid already. Got 3 jackets and 4 jumpers to put on first thing in the morning! This lot iv put on tonight should get me at least £100

Well got a pair of trainers on ebay along with 3 jackets, maybe put on a couple of shirts(never wear them anyway) so wont be any loss to me! Iv made £122.05 on ebay so it says, not bad for only putting on 1 lot of stuff then i was away on holiday for a week! Got 23 items on just now and im aiming high with this lot hoping these 23 will make up for at least £200 of my £465 target for the month! Any other ideas how to make the money?

Great mega- challenge!! Are you not counting postage and packaging as spending, since you are getting the money back from the eBay buyer?

Yeh i realised that firefox! Il be counting it as spending but counting the postage as income as i always make a bit of postage aswel, 1 item went to Portugal and he offered me £4.95 when it only cost £2.47, it all does add up! Got a few watchers but as of yet just the 1 bid! Mind you it was 2 or 3 days in before i got a bid on my last lot of items and i ended up getting £120 from 14 items which at an average of £8.50 an item, i reckon il achieve a higher average this time but at £8.50 an item that should be about £200!

No advice for me on getting the £465?
