I got up early this morning to manually snipe some items I saw and won a lot of them which I will hold for a while and resell through my business account. I anticipate making several hundred percent mark up on sales from them.

Seller was an established seller, I suspect a car booter mistakenly using a private account. Was selling something he knew nothing about so had put them in the wrong category and with some basic key words left out of the title. I only saw them as I monitor for certain items to see what my competitors are doing.

nice work, soolin!

That is good Soolin, must be nice to have something like that that you can make money on.

Sold a couple more things today on Personal account but only one bid on each, some did not sell.

Hopefullly once payday has been people will be buying more. I've put Best Offer option on most of my Business items but no offers yet, I find Friday, Saturday and Sunday very slow practically dead so don't bother having things finish on those days (shame the free listing day was a Sunday, I would much prefer one on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday.

TMD - thats interesting to know coz im sure i read on here that sundays were best to finish on but i always wonder when is best to list things for?? Most things i list in the evenening so they finish when kids in bed etc so i can be there for any last min questions.

I have written up a few on turbo lister to start tonight and want to pop a couple more on - went and found some bits to list for the end of the media free.

well done on grabbing the bargain soolin

Hi,

I was looking for an ebay challenge thread... I used to post on the old one but haven't ebayed for a while! Anyway I listed 25 items last weekend (took advantage of free listings and only listed items over £2... figured I can list the 99p items anytime) and 11 items selling so far :j

For some reason my stuff is selling much better now than before xmas, I have no idea why. I'm not looking to make big bucks though, just get rid of stuff and make space.

Total bids of £34.91, fingers crossed for a few more bids in the next couple of hours too.
