Quick q! I have sold a game on ebay for £30.77- my paypal has been credited with only 29.52 (1.25 short), but on looking at my ebay fee charges i have been also charged 10p listing fee and 3.08 final value fee- am i being charged by ebay twice or is it a fee with paypal i didnt know about?


Thanks all, as will need to ensure i am aware of all charges to ensure a profit! :0)

Paypal fees perhaps?

Edit: 100 pages already ... I think this thread is going to be huge

There are Ebay listing fees, Ebay final fees when item is sold and then Paypal take a cut for using their services. Paypal being owned by Ebay of course.
They have it nicely stitched up don't they?

Bought the OH's birthday using amazon vouchers from DooYoo and survey sites. So the £24.95 that I saved is going straight into my 10k pot. And 30p from shopping (bought milk and the label said £1.09, it scanned at 79p) I was prepared to pay £1.09 to won't miss the 30p (not a lot but it all adds up) And will list more on eBay tonight.Also trying to lower my grocery budget and put savings in (again every little helps) Can't get out to buy any craft supplies = grrr.

Have now put 4 things on ebay from round the house hopefully i will get quicker at adding items as i go. All items end at weekend and 2 have got some real interest already, so upbeat about them. Going to go up in the loft once the kids are awake from the morning nap. And i think at weekend when the snow clears i will hit some shops try pick up some bargins.
Yet to spend anything and hopefully by weekend i will be able to change from 0 to something.
I have one question i have some old games i was going to put on ebay but noticed them type were not really selling was going to just put them on and hope they went for £1 or something but not sure its worth it. I am thinking nothing ventured nothing gained but not sure with some stuff.
Thanks to everyone to for passing on the good vibes when i first saw this thread i was thinking i could never do it now i am thinking that it will be easy with all the help and advice from everyone.:)

You have to give free postage on games, probably cost about 80p+20p for envelope so selling at £1 would cover the postage, then after ebay and paypal fees youd actually make a loss

That will be the paypal fees. You will be invoiced seperately for the ebay fees

Ive made £89.98 on Ebay so far but this months bills have swallowed that up :mad: Dont think i should count it?? We have £6k of debt to clear this year and i want the money i earn from this thread to go to deducting chunks off that really and if i succeed the 6k debt clearing then any more funds will go towards our wedding :T Going to be swapping to A&L bank account with 0% O/d next week, we are with Halifax and its costing £30/£31 a month to have an O/d :mad::mad::mad::mad: That will save us in effect £365 :beer: Cancelled Sky, so thats a saving of £18.95 :j Does anyone know if you dont have an aerial and only use your TV for Films you own do you still have to pay your TV licence? DP wants it gone :rotfl:he is going the whole hog!

Got a few watchers on Ebay and 2 bids - listed 20 items yesterday - mostly 99p'ers but it all counts right?

Anyone help me to understand this Matched betting i just cant seem to get my head round it :rolleyes:

Well done everyone, its really inspiring reading this thread :T

I've been with halifax for over 15 years and when they decided that they were going to charge me £1 a day by going over a pound or two i decided to switch banks to the A&L aswell. Halifax also scrapped interest gained from having money in, now its 0%. :rolleyes:

It takes about a month or two for the whole process to go through for e.g standing orders direct debits. But it will save me a bob or two aswell. Halifax have probably lost alot of customers due to changing there shocking terms & conditions.

I found £5 note this morning in when leaving Marks and Spencer. That is definitely going inside my pot together with about £60 Ebay profit. It is not bad knowing that only 6 days of 2010 passed (not yet anyway).

Hi folks have not joined this yet but for those who are thinking of doing bootfairs/carboots,

One way that has done alright for me is to go around places like b&q homebase etc, although you will have to do this on a regular basis go to the tile section and look out for damaged boxes that are for sale these can be missing tiles maybe 2/3 these can be reduced from £10 a box to £2:00 a box buy a glue gun to make plant pots and sell them, have a few with plants in them for demo

you can buy the large 1m+1m tiles for £10 a box with 5 tiles in it to buy out door plant pots this size you will be looking at £30 have a look and see what b&q and homebase are selling these for in the garden section,

some boxes give you enogh tiles to make 2/3 pots
