    Ok, only went away for 4 days and have managed to miss over 40 pages! Caught up now. Just logged into my EBay account to start listing, oh wonder of wonders, I actually have one of the tresured Kevin and Perry CD's! That was going to be the first to go, BUT I am not allowed to list anything as my Paypal account has been limited.
    Log in to Paypal nd its because I have hit the limit. However, they are sying that I need to submit reciepts to prove that I own everything. Problem is, it was only crap that I was selling, eg a raincover for a buggy that my DD outgrew over a year ago, only sold it for £2 but they want a reciept to prve I owned it in the first place, obviously don't have it anymore.
    How can I resolve this? any ideas? Worried now as I have £127 in the account that I can't access and was really relying on selling on EBay to make the money.


    Apologies for spelling DD pulled the A key of the keyboard and it now only works when it feels like it!

    try posting on the ebay board for some help/advice on this - I have never had problems with paypal but I am sure someone there will be able to help.

    So far:
    Cashback earned through Quidco (changing insurance and changing energy supplier) = £175

    Will start doing some ebay listings this week (have some photos taken already as I have a garage full of stuff to list and have just confiscated some old toy cars off my son when I realised that some were worth £20 or £30 even without box).

    I suspect I will be snowed in tomorrow and not able to go to work so I will then sit and do a day of listings (as well as doing last years tax return).

    I think when im at work on Friday for my stupid one day week(because of having to work xmas eve,as a builder not done anything past week or 2 at work) we will be gritting all the roads as my boss hasnt haded the papers over to the council yet so as he still owns them all legally, all these people have bought £400k+ houses and the council are refusing to grit the area! Il steal some grit and sell it to the council, the sun said today Aberdeenshire is low!
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hi all,

    I have been a member of this site for some time but have not been present for a while.

    Whilst surfing on MSE i noticed this thread which is very interesting.

    I have had a serach but couldn't find a lot of entries from pure poker players. I would be interested in trying to turm £100 into £10k via poker but don't know if this is the right thread to do so, what do u think, or should i start athread for pure poker players?

    £100 to £10k in 2010 using the magic of internet poker (Don't play poker unless you know what you are doing)

  • A thank you to BingO for starting this thread, it has really made me get off my butt and sort out all my clutter, listed 23 items on ebay a couple of days ago and have one sale and a couple of watchers on others and still 5 days to go:j
    Now ive been sent home from work cos of the snow (I luvvvvvvvv the snow - not the drive to work though what a nightmare that was but my poor little punto made it, shame no-one else did though:rolleyes:).

    anyway it means I can list some more items on ebay cos I can take the piccys in the daylight and don't have to wait till the weekend.

    Just about to list my 47 bottles of contact lens solution:eek::eek::eek:

    Onwards and upwards I say!:D

    Really stuck today, have got some stock coming but it is held up because of the snow. Spent the last 6 hours looking at wholesale sites etc but just can't decide on whats best to buy-really want to get started but don't want to rush into things either and end up buying some rubbish!
    Must get brain into gear!
