    It's difficult to stay motivated when stuff isn't selling isn't it. If you don't list then it will never sell, that's what I tell myself, doesn't work but at least it's a little chat.
    What annoys me is when you have loads of watchers & no bidders.
    It is a funny old business this ebaying isn't it.
    I've not listed anything for a week or so, must get my finger out.

    I am finding it very slow too, my Personal stuff is not selling, today is sorting out day to see what I can find, going to do the Annex later (they did say it would brighten up later), need to find all the bits to the Go Go Hamsters house, wheel and slide and get those listed.

    Must take lots to the charity shop as there is just too much around.

  • Am I too late to join...if not please add me to this challenge.

    My first aim is to make enough to buy my road tax which is due at the end of the month. I managed to list 9 items last night after having a major problem staying logged on or it would have been more!

    Good luck everyone

    welcome redfraggle :wave: never too late to join in!

    I had a burst of energy last night and got a few more listed so am up to 60 listings now. I also think "if i dont list it it'll never sell" which sometimes works. plenty watchers and no bidders on my stuff as usual.

    Hi Redfraggle

    The more the merrier, we need new members to get us all motivated, I've been slacking a bit recently but today is sorting out day so hopefully can list some stuff later.

    I sold 12 items; waiting for payment for one. Not sure of the amount but it's around the £100 mark.

    Must get motivated to get more listed as my mantra is 'if it's not on there it won't sell' but it's not the listing that demotivates me but the packing...I hate it! It takes me so long making sure everything is there and clean and packed properly and addressed correctly and then to the Post Office...yuk!

    That is a great on the sales, it can get tedious wrapping up when you have lots, I don't generally mind as most of the stuff I sell is clothing which is quite easy, the swim suits are the best, really quick and I have the stamps already to go on, I really hate awkward shaped or big items, wrapping them is a pain. I like to have an easy life.

  • Woohoo managed to list another 11 things today and i item has a bid already!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I had to rehome my ponies a few days ago:( so been trying to keep busy and listing all my equipment has done the trick

    Good luck everyone and keep on listing

    That is great Redfraggle, I've listed 4 magazines today and some stuff on my Business account.

    Sorted out my office, have one big box for the Charity shop and one bigger box for Ebay, going to be working my way through everything when I get chance or especially in the evenings when DD3 is asleep as the other two are away and OH goes back to work tomorrow and he's on the late shift so goes to work at 1.20pm until about 10.30pm.
