I just post them in those envelopes with bubblewrap lining them...but maybe that's not the best way to do it?

Out of interest, do you think winter clothing would still sell at the moment on ebay? I've just come across a bag of childrens clothes that I'd put away for something to list at a later date and fogot about! typical! now I may have missed my chance! lol

Well done on the bids.

Wow to the watch selling for that much, hate to think what the fees were though!

Wow thats a lot for a watch.

I signed up to a drop shipper last week and have been listing lots of their items. Got my first order last night and have handed it to the drop shipper to deliver it for me. I should make about £3 profit and i havent had to pack it or post it.

mrscmr

ooo how do u find a drop shipper?

OMG - just rang Prudential about my Endowment and the surrender value today is £10,195.30.

It's still linked to our mortgage at the moment but won't be anytime from now until June so do I wait a few more months and see what it is then or do I cash it in now!!!

I searched drop shippers and came across a site called esource I think its called. You do have to registered which cost £15 or you can go for premier which is more but you do see more details.

I then just looked through all the wholesalers that provide a drop shipping service. Found one that sold items tat i thought id give a go selling. Yes there was also a registration fee with them too. But you can list as many items from as many categories as you want. Use their picture and wording if you want and then just sit back and see if you get any orders.

There are loads out there its just finding the one that works best for you. They are a bit more expensive than buying whole sale but they do all the work for you.

From what i can see the one im using lots of others are on ebay too and all their feedback is good so they seem reliable enough.

I thought id give it a go and see how it went for a little while.

mrscmr

thanks will look into that!

There's a dropship forum http://dropshipforum.co.uk/search.php, may be a good idea to do some homework on there, loads of good info. Free to join as well.
TMD, may be worth talking to an independent financial adviser, if the interest rates change between now & June are you likely to lose-gain lots?
I'm busy packing up what sold yesterday & will put this months totals on later. Too many plonkers watching last night & then contacting me after to say they'd missed the end & forgot to bid. I'm not sure if I'll do 10 day listing again, spent hours answering questions & them they forget, ggggrrrrr
