    All 5 of my ebay items sold so thats me on about £48 something (is in my sig)
    I also have over £10 worth of dooyoo points :) going to aim for the £50 cheque though

    Going to be selling our psp on ebay as well so that should push the price up
  • I've listed 11 items (I hate doing it so try and do a few at once) but dont have much hope for a few of them to be honest lol. I do have a beautiful jacket that I'm hoping will sell well.

  • I know how you feel laurarobby, I'm the same. You just can never tell what will sell and what wont can you?

    Morning all

    I have been lurking on this thread and have been encouraged by the advice re DooYoo and so have joined (thankyou to everyone who explained how to write your first review - the site is not that clear to understand!)

    After four reviews my "earnings" are now up to £2.42 - did I read that theres a limit for newbies on this site? I can't seem to find the limit but could have sworn that I have read that there is one.

    Otherwise I am now off to make a couple of birthday cards - will count my money saved by not using moonpig as money eared towards my money neutral christmas.

    With regards to eBay - most of the bidding takes place in the last minute of the auction. These are early days just to get people interested! :)


    Hi Ninno and weclome! :) Newbies can do a maximum of 5 reviews a day = 2500 :)

    Laura and scatty student.

    You'll be surprised. Some people don't look through days and days worth of listings, and only look when there's one day to go.

    Don't worry if it doesn't sell, you can relist it for free (no going through the palaver again - you just click a button) and it might sell that time.

    I mainly sell new stuff, that's probably why i've been successful.

    Morning all :)

    Well done to those who are raking it in ;)

    Those who are struggling on the bay please be patient, people do bid at the last minute as Jammy said, but also January is a quiet month for ebay, things do however start to pick up in Feb!

    Quick update from me, £13.60 ebay sales in the last couple of days. Not as quiet as I thought but then think people are buying from me to save the trek out in the snow!! got a couple of bits and bobs I need to list on ebay but not got around to it yet, the sales are just my usual stuff which is on all year!
