  • Hi all, could I join please? :)

    This is my first post, so I'm a little apprehensive lol, but I've Ebayed a bit before, so thought it best to start with something I know a little about! :o

    I don't have a specific target yet - I'll have a think about it and maybe add one soon... We had a good clearout today, and I'm going to list a load tonight - obviously everything made will be going towards getting rid of those bills - I think I'm going to pick one specific credit card and pay all Ebay money towards that.... does that sound like a good target?!

    Also, when does everyone move money from their Paypal account? They charge you if you withdraw less than a certain amount, so does everyone just wait until they reach that amount and then move it? Or do you save up lots and move it all at once?

    Sorry for all the questions lol!
    I'm really looking forward to starting my first challenge - thanks for all the motivation guys! :)

    Hia, I have a few watchers and even a couple of bids on my items!
    Can anyone tell me why it is inadvisable to post to Germany? I have noticed that lots of UK sellers don't do this?
    Many Thanks :)

    Once I have £50 or more I withdraw it into my bank, any less than that incurs a charge

    I've never known of problems with German bidders but a lot of parcels seem to go missing in Italy

    Two more items listed tonight and a few more lined up for tomorrow night. I think I'm going to have to start getting creative.

    Yes, it is free to withdraw now. I never leave too much in there, Ebay is my main income as I am a SAHM.

    I am listing all the things around that I no longer want or need, I do resell the kids clothes, at the moment I'm selling anything that I might get a bit of money from, even if it's only 50p profit after fees it reduces my debt slightly.

    Re listing loads of items, lots are relists, things that I've relisted over the last couple of months, that is how the number of listings I have add up. I haven't done much today, have 1 on Turbolister but will be doing lots tonight ready for tomorrow and Monday.

    I joined you at post 87 :rotfl:think I was getting a little carried away!

    No, you decide if you want a target and if you want to have a signature to go with it...

    rictus123 give us a clue to what you have bought? Is it electronic/computer stuff?

    I bought a dongle from Tesco to get the 2000 points and sold it. I'm happy and buyer's happy ;)


    Bought some clothes for resale, only thing iv ever sold on ebay and my items were all getting requests for buy it nows and got lots of watchers and bids, hopefully this will be the same.
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.
