WHAT TYPE OF ACCOUNT DO YOU HAVE?? Im planning on doing a few canvases and seeing what i get for them. ive got about 3 that i painted so far and depending on what becomes of them on ebay then ill do some more but as well as that ill be selling stuff ive found around the house.
so do i need a business one or a sellers one??

If your going to do it as a business (ie regularly) I think you have to registered for VAT and everything.

My advise, just set up a regular ebay account and see how you get on.

Well I've done a few surveys today, and not long off some vouchers, i've hit £20 on one of my sites, but just want to keep going and save them for xmas... won't bother redeeming it until nearer the time.

Got a £10 HMV voucher through today so that'll go back for christmas...

I've got roughly 5 things on ebay... one with 7 watchers and another few with one or 2 watchers, had a few offers, one was the only sensible offer, but it expired before i could accept... so will just wait and see how things go...

Ebay is mad!!! I have 17 people watching a pair of pyjamas!!!! Yes 17! They were on a buy it now but it looks like everyone wants a bargain as it's still only 99p.

I think so, but I think you get a better deal if you go for the Tesco deals as you get 4x your amount. We have just booked Butlins for Feb Half term using ours. Check their website as they have loads of things you can spend them on like Magazine subscriptions, holidays, days out, eating out etc....

You get four times the value if you use them as deals. We use ours for treats and daytrips etc. The four of us iceskating only costs us a fiver in points (or £20 in cash).

I never used Tesco's regularly until it became double points . If you do your weekly shop there I imagine you'd get loads. Didn't Pammy say she'd booked a holiday to Turkey? Could be worth saving them instead and using them on something big!

Warning - I've just had an email saying its closing and any money not claimed by 06/02/10 will be lost. I was suprised I had £25.75 so I've claimed £20.00 but I can't claim the other £5.75 - does this mean I'll loose it, I can't see this is fair.

Yeah thats true but to be honest there is nothing in the offers bit that I fancy lol

Hiya dunno if will help i posted on another mums opinions board about same thing, when my son was to old for mums opinions i got sent the same type of thing basically saying was not entitled to use them anymore as he had reached the age no longer valid, I was also a member of valued opinions there sister site as had been with both for many years,
I emailed them and asked if i could transfer my cash over onto my valued opinions site so wouldnt lose out as had about £7 in it ,
anyway few days later got an email and they had done this , i then had enough in my valued opinions account for my £10 HMV voucher

not sure but if on valued opinions may be worth a try if can combine all payments together
