Requested £14 from Top Cashback today, so edging closer to my target.
I suspect September isn't the best month for selling on Ebay as a lot of people are skint from holidays and back to school spending. That said, Ebay generally defies all logic!
I've started putting some buy it now options in as well as auctions and enter the price I was hoping for less about 10 or 15%. At least there is some certainty in what you get and it can result in a quicker sale. If I'm not getting anywhere, I edit the listing to reduce the price a bit. Gutted to read about the Coast dress.

hiya mw, I wud put the cooker in the free ads yeh. The one I use is in our free local paper. I never put the house phone number in the ads cos u never
know, I put my mobile in.
I put all sorts in there- bundles of kids clothes, ps games, toys etc. The only thing they ask is that it's not over £50 asking price and it's not copied DVDs etc.
Worth a bash!

Thanks for info Sweetpeas - I'm going to give the free ads a go next month - it'll be good to try something new.Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.

Hmmm. Only a week left for this challenge and I have £82 to go. Not sure how I'm going to do this but I MUST, I've made my target every month this year so far. Poop. Any ideas? even ebay won't work now as the money won't hit my account until next month.0

I'm not even a third of the way to this months target, and no way I can manage it now. Damn ebay listings not going as expected.
Also makes reaching the £1000 in 100 days harder as a month to go and still half of the money needing made.
Well, all in all it's been good though.DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -
After a good start I've been getting nowhere fast for the last few days but last night I made £3.50 so I'm getting there slowly.
I also won a bottle of wine in a free raffle but as I'm planning to drink that not make any money from it I don't suppose I can count it:rolleyes:.
