A really poor showing for me on ebay yesterday. Sold a Coast dress for £1.24!!!! :eek: Absolutely gutted, would have kept it if I knew it would go for so little!!

Anyway, left over after all costs is 12.06 from sale 1, 19p from sale 2 and 80p from sale 3 (sales 4 and 5 probably made a loss so have decided not to count them as it would depress me too much:rotfl:!). Total declared: £13.05:rolleyes:.

debtbegone congratulations on your much better ebay day. If you have any tips on what sells well they would be much appreciated:D.

Hope today is a better day Jesa.

Oh bless you thats really rubbish. I sold my sons John Rocha coat yesterday for 99p have decided Ebay is no longer for me /

I agree, good stuff goes for pittance on ebay. It's ok for the buyer, but not if you want to make some money. I think the best thing is to do it on a free listing day, when you can start your price higher without any cost to yourself.

I sold 5 items yesterday.Two I managed to send today, total profit £17.08. One is hopefully being collected today, which would make another £19.99. Only updated the two I sent on sig, need to wait for the third one. One person hasn't payed yet and one of the items I'm sending tomorrow so will update more then. Also 1p found on the street.

I agree with all 3 previous posts re: Ebay - I've sold some stuff in the past for next to nothing, for example a hardly used toy pirate ship and accessories costing about £70 new - sold for £2.20!! - and have been very put off selling. I sell a lot less often now and when I do, start with a higher starting price even if it means losing the fee if it doesn't sell - I think the 99p free listing has meant that a lot of us have sold things for less than a fair price.

Having moaned - I've just earned £21.76 from Ebay which is my cut of something I sold for my generous cousin - he's got a few brand new things he wants me to sell left over from when his business closed down - I'm selling these as Buy-it-Now & Best offer which is working pretty well.

I'm usually in the same boat as you (I feel your Coast Dress pain), but this month have had a massive clear-out, all the money I've made has been from ebay sales.

Over the last month I've sold: Car parts, Guitar Accessories (have MADE the boyf start de-cluttering since we're finally moving in together in the near future) Craft Materials, Costume Jewellery, Music/band "collectables" from when I was 12/13 a few cd's, dvds, books, make-up etc

A lot of small things really, at the start of the month my target was £5 per day - did a bumper sale on the free listing days. Best seller's I've got are car parts, guitar bits and craft materials - so not really something everyone has lying around

I've sold around 40 items to get my total (but listed a LOT more during the free listing days) just happened to have a few bigger items that I finally got listed.

Evening all,

jesa, hope ur okay. xx

nothin t update, found 1p on the street but shall not be adding that as I fear it's not worth the clicking it takes to update sig lol.

I defo hear u all re eBay, prob is- for most of us it's still our main way to make extra cash cos it's so convenient. But I've got to be honest, I've kinda lost interest with it now aswell cos seems alot of hassel for not alot of return! I usualy port in the free ads now in our local paper instead of ebaying. Is that poss for any of u that are fed up of eBay?

I joined in this monthly challenge for the first time in *ages*, and have had a rubbish month! Done lots of free bingo, but the win I had on Sunday 13th still hasn't made it to my account yet I *am* expecting my share of a casino thing to come in, that will be a massive boost to this month.

Amazon credited me with £6.77 from a recent sale - thats the only good thing!

I'm plugging away at scratches, and done a couple of mystery shops, but nothing much has made it into my bank account yet. Even the free bingo shows me as out of pocket, because I started it via a quidco thing. Not a good month!

I've used my local free ads internet site and works intranet to get rid of stuff and will be putting more in those places as well, but for some things, ebay is still the best option I think.
