    I have actually started!! woohoo!

    I have put 9 of my unwanted, cluttering up the house items on ebay....all only at a starting price of 99p because it was free and I really don't have a clue what I am doing! Only just finished and one item already has 2 watchers and a bid......really exciting, how sad is that lol!

    Congrats!! Ohhh and fresh blood for the Ebay Addicts Anon?! Hehe ... :p

    Seems like we could get a side thread running ...

    Was just checking when a friend arrived once and he said what are you doing and I said checking how my auctions were going ... and he said "rrriiggghhttt, so your watching the watchers?!"

    Erm ... yeah ... :o

    ETA: Want to break 5% today, but nothing ... sigh ...

    Hi everyone,remember Thursday is a great day for 3 or 10 day listings,as your items finish on a Sunday evening.A silly thing I do is pay my fees as soon as there's any money to pay....I know it makes no difference, but it hurts when you get the big ones !
    We all use to have it so good on Ebay, just a listing fee and a tiny fee through paypal.There again, big fees - big sales, so let's hope we all have massive fees this month !

    Have a great day....keep going-your all doing great.

    Morning all,

    I've got six mystery shops/audits to do today, which will count towards my challenge. It looks like it will be a regular, once a month, circuit of shops, so I am going to have a hunt for bargains along the route.

    I had a good e-bay day yesterday too. Quite a few profitable, best offers, so I need to pack and send eleven parcels.

  • I have got one more ebay package to send out today! Then that wraps that up in terms of ebay auctions. Just need to find some cardboard boxes and then I will sort my Music Magpie. There are quite a few record shops near where I work in Soho. So, I am going to see if they will buy my singles (as I can't exchange them online).

    I was feeling a bit low about work - but, I know that I am keeping this job as a matter of convenience. It is dead easy, and I get to use the computer to work on all my own projects so I need to reframe the way that I look at my role. It is not what I want to do forever, I want to run my own business. But, it is a stepping stone in the right direction so I need to keep reminding myself of that and not getting myself down about the niggly bits. There is no such thing as a perfect job, so I need to suck it up and get going with my goal.

    Going to make my to do list for the day and get going!

    Hi all

    well what a day I've had,
    paid off a loan 4 years early (dont ask) but anyway I've saved £4300.00 on interest.
    Just been on 4 bingo sites and won/withdrew £170.00-I was getting the bonuses,playing with that money,then withdrawing as soon as I had a decent win.You end up forfeiting bonus monies-
    but I only wanted 'REAL CASH'
    I should really include the interest in my total but I'm not going too.

    Have a great evening.:T:T:T


    Well done Bingo, it's a great feeling isn't it. I got a three year loan out last April and paid it off in November. Was great working out how much interest I had saved, worth all the hard work.

    Amber - just remember that you are going down a different path to many others which may have a slower start but will be well worth it when things really take off.
