***Make Us Money in 2010 with Ebay Challenge***

well i have added BIN to some of my listings to see how things go.

I have also put a couple of my handmade cards on to see how they go,to give me a idea of whether it would be worth opening a shop. I used to sell them via a friend of my OH card shop, but I got £1 a card and they sold them for £1.85, so stopped doing that.

There may be a better place to ask this, but how do you guys work out fees? At the moment I am using the tried and tested pen and paper method but there must be somewhere or something I can use that is less time consuming.

I desperately need to sort my office out, it's a tip. I had a large delivery about 2 weeks ago and have a great big box so am going to put everything for Ebay into the big box and have no other boxes around so that I can just take a few things out each day and get it all listed.

I'm glad they are doing away with the Free P&P for books, CDs etc.

I have a spreadsheet for my Business account, it doesn't take off the final value fees for each transaction though, at the end of the month I input the Ebay fees and Paypal fees onto another yearly spreadsheet, I need to find an hour or so to try and modify it so it takes off the fees for each item sold.

Great sales TMD! And welcome scotmumof3, everyone is lovely and supportive on this thread so if you need some motivation or help then ask away!

Can't remember if I posted last night, but I have received payment for the things that ended last night and posted them today, so that's another £25ish in the pot

Just wondering if people find that you get better prices on eBay in the run up to Christmas - or whether the time of year doesn't matter?

slow start to Feb for me.... Sales of about £10 plus £15 winging its way to me from Amazon. Just managed to upload a few items onto turbo lister though...no mean feat while looking after a 3 and a 1 year old! My dream is to be able to get a lower paid job (ie less hours) and supplement this with monies made from maybe ebay - which means getting into buying to sell..Have a little idea just need to research it! Then no doubt Ill be looking for advice from some of you pros..:T Could be a while though..
Thanks!

Wow some of your totals are just amazing.

Hi to all the newbies and welcome.

Feb has started off quite well for me. I got all excited when i logged on yesterday to find id sold 5 items.

Im getting used to having the 2 accounts now and shall be turning the buisness one into a shop very soon. Im still really enjoying doing this challenge.
