Sold

Hooray I sold my 1st item today on Amazon. I only made £3.50 but it was £3.50 that I didn't have.

Have spoken to the OH aswell this weekend and we have decided to rent out the spare bedroom for extra money. Just hope that we can find someone now to rent it.


Still feeling depressed but things are looking up

    Congrats on your first sale, make sure if the seller does not leave feedback, that you gently harass them saying that it's your first sale and it would be a HUGE help if they would leave feedback.

    I has 2 positive feedbacks, and it's helped my sales no end.

    Well done!

    Sold my first item there just recently and I got such a buzz when the email came through to say sold!

    Have sold stuff on ebay before but it wasn't until I came on to this site that I had ever thought about Amazon and it has worked out a lot better for me.

    Like you say it's £3.50 you never had before and if you've got more to sell then it will soon add up.

    Congrats x x
  • :T congratulations those £3.50 will all add up and when you think of it even if you only put an extra £3.50 per month towards your debt it will decrease that little bit faster, lets hope for more sales then :p
  • Yes here's to selling more and clearing the debt.

    fingers crossed

    Yes I know, I don't want some weirdo living with me. But me and the husband are going to vet them together. So hopefully it won't go pete tonge.
