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

Anyone else using Toluna? I joined with them about 4 months ago and just as I was close to the 60,000 points payout they increased it to 80,000 :mad:

I've been spending 5 minutes a day just doing the quick sponsored polls on their site as 60,000 points seemed a lot to lose, but it's taking ages! I think I'm on just over 66,000 so still a way to go. At least I don't need the voucher until Christmas!

well i listed loads on ebay. staggered their starting days though to see what happens through the month and to give me time to package them up and send them. only had a few bids on some cheap bits so not made anything YET. still dooyoo-ing and hit my target ages ago so still heading for the 50mark.

being signed up to be an avon sales leader tomo so hopefully a little bit extra coming in from that. waiting for compensation cheque from my landlord (£50) and maintainance from the ex (but been waiting since sep so not holding my breath grrr!!!) at this rate anything i make will go on my blimmin phone bill for chasing them up all the time on an 0845 number (double grrr)

found alot of survey sites which had been forgotten so am trying to make them up to the payout threshold too.

ok QUESTION i had a message from an ebay-er asking how much it would cost for postage (of a bra) to poland!!! so i googled it and
airmail-4 days=£2.44 airmail- signed for-4 days=£6.14
ideally i would want to send it so that the buyer has to sign for it NOT because of the cost but because im quite untrusting lol...or do you suggest i hedge my bets and just send it??

Phia, I would email them back with both postage costs explaining what they each mean and then let them choose. As long as you get a free certificate of postage you should be fine without the item having to be signed for. I've posted Ebay stuff abroad quite a few times with no problems

I agree - I have sent things abroad lots of times. As long as you get the free proof of posting (not automatically given) you will be ok. Oh, And get them to pay by paypal that way you are covered.

Oh no, elysia, please dont say that! I'm totally and utterly fed up with snow now! Hmm, I thought I was doing well, but I've just checked my bank account online and a withdrawal of £10 has come out, followed by £500. Im praying that this is a mistake, but I dont think it is, a nonexistant company that had my bank details did this before, but they only took £85, now I think they have got more, but I dont know how, cos I got a new card any everything! Feel like crying, the money has taken me over my overdraft, so big charges for me, and it was also my rent, which is due on friday. Help!! xxx

It sounds like a scam transaction, they usually take a small amout 1st (which gets them into your account) then a larger purchase, get hold of your bank asap, there take care of it for you. they can trace where the payments went to, whether it was internet, phone or swipe transaction..

Is there any chance someone could of got to the vard b4 u?

Have just checked my account on Bingobritain and it says the withdrawal is completed so will have to see if it goes into my account, fingers crossed.

Off to Dad's in a bit, cooked him some dinners and froze them for him so taking them over, also going to the crem with some flowers as its my Mum's birthday tomorrow.

Just checked Dooyoo and I am up to 6855 towards my next withdrawal on there. Will have to knuckle down tomorrow and get a few more done.

Hope everyone has a nice day xx

Well done Rufus!! I'm up to 15680 for dooyoo and listed another 15 items on eBay. Need to work out how much I made on eBay last week and do a total.

Still got the xbox360 to put on but I figured if I put it on a 10 day listing on Thursday, it'll end the following Sunday and then people will have been paid so more people might be interested??

I'm with Toluna too - I don't know what's going on lately but either I get screened out or the survey just will not load in the first place. :mad: I'm only only 38,000. I'll think when I get to cashout - I'll give up.

Wow, elysia2003 have just noticed your signature about becoming mortgage free so early - congratulations :beer:

If you don't mind me asking, how did you accomplish that?

I need to debt-free first (approx 4 years), then will look at mortgage after that, but I'm sure your tips could help me with my debts.
