  • Definitely star, I have 24 turbo listed ready to set live on Saturday. I have at least another 9 to list this week :rolleyes: If anyone uses quidco there are loads of 'free' money to be had. Like if you take out a payday loan you could have £30 profit. Also bingo sites ask for £10 deposit and you get £20 back through quidco :j Worth having a look, plus most would clear and be in your account before the challenge ends too!

    Thank you for this!! I completed the payday loans thing through quidco today and it has tracked already!! £30 profit winging its way to my bank account :D

    I also opened up my £2 sealed tin as I thought at least it can work towards clearing a debt whcih charges me interest, as its not going to earn me any sat in a tin anyway. I had £68 in there which is not bad considering I've not even noticed that money disappearing. I will only pay in £60 right now (in those little money bags) but will try and get it up to another £20 to be able to pay that in.

    So, £110.68 extra has been earned by me already, and the challenge hasn't even started yet. Sorry, but I just couldn't wait. I feel so motivated now so thought I should act on it.

    Signature will be updated when the money is in my bank account.

    What a fantastic idea!
    Put me down for £1000 please. I want to put this towards my loan amount, as I doubt I could make £19000 by then!!
    Must do some ebaying...
    :heart2: THANK YOU MARTIN!! :heart2:
  • michelle, You are doing well, but as you say it wont be payed of your debt/in savings till the first so its all fair really. Glad the payday thing worked, I havent done it yet, must do sometime :rolleyes:

    shell, Do you have turbo lister? I find it so much easier to list using that. I then have one tempate type thing will all my terms in and just change the price/pic/description as I go. Then they save within the program and I can upload them in chunks. Much better as I can do a few a night instead of all at once... Yet they all go 'live' together if I wish. Free download too :j
  • Just 2 things added to ebay for me today, got another 2 to do tomorrow - just putting it off!! :o

    Can't wait to get going on this challenge!!

    See here Shell, there are help pages too. Oh I have turbo lister v2 I dont know what version that will be. Shout if you need nay help though.

    It does take a while to get your head around but once you get a template done then its super easy. I will generally have all my photos done and list something in between searching on here etc etc. It certainly speeds up time because you arnt waiting for ebay to play catch up. I save all my listings and then upload them in one lot then wrapping is easier too :D One tip though if you have two items/two items that are nearly the same pop something in the title to seperate them... Saves mixing them up.

    Hi Pap, can you sign me up as well please?

    I would like to clear my Cap 1 credit card so that will be £750 for me.

    Great challenge, thanks! :beer:
