*NEW* Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & Occasions 2010

5095 points on Dooyoo so far. Just updating on here for my own memory lol!

I'm on the lookout for boxes to put gifts in the loft, they're cluttering up under my bed now I've made (from craft supplies I already had, mostly bought for me as gifts, so for free) 5 sets of 10 cards for people to use.

Got a pile of wool bought for me for xmas, which I'm going to knit into hats for everyone too. Another free one and a hobby to keep my fingers busy and out the biscuit tin! Lol

Hiya, please can I join?

I thought of myself as quite thrifty until I started reading this thread - oh how much I have to learn :rotfl:.

I've signed up for dooyoo and have started adding anyone I recognise to my circle of friends (I'm saffstar on there too) and have signed up to some survey sites and a daily click one - already got £2.60 on One Poll thanks to their intro offer

Hi all, hope you're all doing well im your money making! Claimed my £20 amazon from dooyoo, as well a £10 voucher from panelbase (it says where you can spend the vouchers and its all over so im thinking its a love2shop?). I've also got my £27 love to shop from toluna, which may or may not come by xmas 2010! and im close to another £15 from them. On £27-something on onepoll, and £14.90 on pureprofile. Think I've got £9.50 on valuedopinions too, so im doing quite well so far! I've also managed to loose my last £10 arcadia voucher from valued opinions, I know its around somewhere but just not sure where, so at least if I dont spend it in the sales I'll have in for xmas 2010!
I've been really skint so only spent £46 in the sales, £32 in topshop but £22 of that was vouchers for christmas, and I spent £14 in New Look but £10 of that was a voucher that I recieved from tic-tac spearmint, I've never heard of this before but I got a xmas card off of them, and inside was a £10 new look voucher, how good is that, proves that signing up for everything I see pays off sometimes!
(Hope you dont mind me posting the first bit, its mainly for me so I can keep track, theres probably more ive forgotton about!) xxx

Phia - you don't have to put any money in!

1.The ebay fees are billed but you can choose to make one off payments after you've listed stuff or you can arrange to have the fees taken directly from your paypal account automatically as and when required (which is linked to your bank account so you don't actually have to do anything after it's set up).

2.The paypal fees are taken off at the time money goes into your account from sales.

3.If nothing sells you will be charged for listing them (as in No 1) but you can then re-list them for free by just clicking re-list on the item (no faffing required). If it doesn't sell the second time you have to pay fees again but if it does sell, you don't!

HTH

thanks for that. i know i dont HAVE to put money in but i would rather i had SOMETHING in there so i can let it build and be taken out to pay fees and i dont have to worry about anything coming out of my account etc.

im thinking of paypal as a pot that holds my cash and i add or take from it...or am i wrong? ie if someone buys does it go via paypal and straight into my bank? or does it stay in oaypal until i take it out?

I don't have a land line at all so can't sell on there either....silly isn't it, we have registered and are able to buy but not sell....I don't get it
