    Im putting mine in savings, and paying my CC bills as i normally would, then hopefully at the end of the year i can pay off a large chunk off the CC, instead of paying it through the year and it getting 'eaten' by interest if you see what i mean

    Think I will keep a completely separate record but will use 50% of each profit for living expenses and reinvest 50 %.
    Just sold my second amazon book! Their fees are pretty high but at least they are selling.
    Listed 2 more today so back to 26.
    Dh going to find some for me to list as well.
    Spent £52 on bits and bobs to sell - but probably later in year.
    Does anyone know what the fees are like on play.com?
    Also spotted they refund fees on five listings at the moment if that helps anyone

    Just checked out Play.com fee info

    They charge 10% of sale price + 50p

    Or you can get a Pro Trader account which costs £19.99 a month and you dont have to pay the 50p per item

    Woo! Am dead chuffed now! My first Ebay item of the year has sold, and after fees made a profit of £11.25 - woop woop! Am dead pleased as was my first dabble with buying to re-sell. Also managed to make 2 pairs of earrings (kinda bridal themed) for my nice new boxes! If i can make 2 x night after work I should have a nice collection to show as samples/ sell :)

    Not sure on pricing them though?

    i was putting any money I won onto my C/card but its true- that does get swallowed, so will just put any profits made into a seperate saving account- maybe my Isa to start

    Hope everyone else has had a productive day,

    Just bid on my first Ebay job lot, £75!! I have at last found a field I know something about......bet it goes for a lot more than £75 though as it has a few days to run.....:o Still it's all one big learning curve right? Listed 2 items on Ebay too. Thanks to the poster letting us know media is free listing to £4.99, hoping this will save me some cash. :j

    Well for tonight iv got £143.30 at risk, i could get a return of £230.52, a £87.22 return.

    The risk is high for what i think is a 63.5% return. Will just have to wait and see what happens, wish me luck everyone :)


    GOOD LUCK
    hope i'm not too late!

    Referring to posts on page 77-80 ..LOL

    Skeksis, cooltrikerchick - I emailed them about not getting the bonus and was told -
    Please see FAQ's Are there any other conditions to receiving bonuses? The bonus system is simple and designed to reward our players. However, we will not tolerate bonus abuse. Any player found to be abusing the bonus system, this includes depositing and withdrawing funds to accrue promotional bonuses without utilising those funds on the site, will have their account disabled. All bonuses are awarded at the discretion of the management and may be withdrawn at any point. Your bonus availability has been withdrawn due to abuse of this rule.

    rachelja - Gala windicates is like a syndicate thing they do. You join people's and have people join yours and when they win a windicate game, everyone in their windicate gets 50p. I spend the 50p's on the Wheel of Fortune Triple Action game, most of the time I lose but I have won £7, £6 and now £5-24 this morning which I've withdrawn with no problems (and I dont think I've ever deposited on there either)

    fruitloops - many of us are starting at zero or with less than £100

    kemo2002 - correct by the looks out it

    creaker - i'm determined to keep it seperate but things rather tight at the moment so its got absorbed with a mental (read word doc on laptop) note of what needs to be banked at a later stage

    ME ... got 28 book auctions finishing tonight with only one watcher on two items, never mind :confused:
