Just signed up for my fist affiliate thingy and added a banner to my blog (without breaking anything!) Do you think adding a 'divorce online' link would be innapropriate....?! lol

If you look at his completed sales he seems to be selling quite a few polo shirts @ £3.87 + postage and a few packs of 6 t-shirts for £4.99, maybe you could sell polo shirts as well?

Yeah ive seen he sells a wide variety. Ive noticed on ebay that a lot sell the item cheaply then the p+p is higher. Isnt this to save on listing fees and then make a slight amount on the p+p?
I will consider anything really, but im not rushing head first into something without doing a lot of research and info. It could be something that works for me, then again i could totally flop!, but imo if i were to rush out and buy x100s t shirts or whatever without any knowledge would be suicidal.
Thanks for your input though:beer:

Wayne - I think you have found a great idea - you could offer printed and non-printed t-shirts. I previously have looked at buying some t-shirts to print myself for a childrens party but as I could only find them at bulk buys I didn't do it. If I could have brought a few at £1.35 then I prbably would.... would you do childrens, women and men? Could you offer to do printing for people too? e.g. personalised for hen nights etc

Sorry thinking out loud...can be dangerous.

Good find/idea!

Hen nights brill idea
All hen night trips up here have slogan tshirts on

Can someone please give me a hit round the head? Won't get to sleep until 6am but am still worrying, and not doing much else. Need some papers, and to write things, and to make a list, and to stop fretting, and really, I think I'm having a miniature midlife crisis. I feel so stressed, and poorly, and I'm bored if I don't do anything, and I don't know what I should do.

Help? lol.

Thought you were waiting on possibly exciting news? Or maybe that is why you can't sleep? I dunno the whole time zone thing dates/ times confuses me ...and besides you are FAR too young for a midlife crisis lol :eek:


Have just discovered that some stuff I put away last year to sell on a rainy day is ready for listing!! So am going to have a mass listing session of it probably Sunday evening! Did get a few things on tonight but have work to do ... (which I am clearly doing right now ... not!) Lol better finish it and get to bed ... its almost 1am ... I am too obsessed with this challenge sometimes ...

Think my main problem is lack of motivation - some days it's just impossible to drag myself off the computer.

I don't have a 'real' job at the moment (although I don't really want one anyway), and I'm not likely to get one now as I'm six months pregnant (baby due in May). I do sell Usborne books, but I really need to bump that up as I'm just doing the odd toddler group and table-top sale. Trouble with that is it's quite hard to get leads as there's several of us in the area chasing the same customers.

I do have lots of ideas, but I don't really know how to bring them to fruition - feels like the only thing I'm good at is spending money!

I suppose the little bit of money I do get has mostly gone on buying things for the baby, which is fine, but it doesn't leave much to do anything with.

I've been ebaying, but most of it just hasn't sold and I've ended up mainly paying ebay fees with what has.

Hey Liz, I found the commitments board really helpful you would be suprised at how much publicly saying what I am going to do forces me to get it done. I honestly feel like a naughty child who hasn't done their homework when I don't finish stuff off. Also seeing all my red items turn green has really kept my motivation up. (Thanks Hales )

Some of the guys are on MSN, so you can always join up and there is the ning group that Jo has set up too, plus the facebook group!

Don't forget if you are on the facebook group you can always advertise what you are doing on the group page I think! So you could mention the Usborne book there and see if there is anyone online who might be interested.

Also, if you forte is being online you could always go on one of the freelancing sites and offer to do people's research for them. I think people per hour is one of the companies mentioned - you can find the url address on the front of this thread.

Even if the money has gone on buying stuff for the baby there is nothing wrong with that, most of my money is going towards paying off my debts. And I am more than happy for my debt to be reduced

With ebay - research and find out what the best sellers are or you could do what I did and try the grabbits board and resold some items that I bought at a profit on ebay too. Don't give up though, not everyday has been a financial success, but eventually with a bit of motivation you will find your niche
And until then - you have this thread so don't give up.

Pandora - Ebay them!! Even if you only get a couple of quid for them, it helps the old feedback/DSR's!!

True, I never really consider Ebay for bits like that as not sure how I stand as they say they "must be redeemed by the person to whom they were issued" even though no name!
I don't want to have my Ebay account disappearing for misuse. Or do they tend not to worry on bits like this?!

Edit: I've seen several people selling their clubcard vouchers for trips. Anyone tried this? Looks like a good return, but worth risking? I wouldn't want to book something then have issues, any help!?

I keep thinking about this but worry about it. Do you buy and then put it straight onto ebay? Do you only do misprice type stuff, or good deals? Why do people spend more on ebay and not buy the deal themsleves? Think that is my biggest stumbling block lol!

SNAP!!! If any really rich people out there need anyone to help spend there money then I am the right person for the job....well me or LizD!!

Oh and I have done nothing so far today other than talk on the phone and surf the net....and not found anything productive either

well if there is no name on them then how can it be proved that the person with the voucher in their hand isn't the one who was issued it in the first place.
If they are paper vouchers then there isn't an issue, if they were email vouchers then there might be a problem.... you are not allowed to digitally deliver anything on ebay....
As far as tescos vouchers, I wouldn't like to say other than Tescos might get involved and I think there might be a possibilty that the vouchers might be cancelled.....

Nixinxix - I have bought a few things and listed them straight on ebay. The La Gear trousers offer on Sports direct last month has been fab for me! Bought at £1 each (40 pairs) got 15 left, been selling them for £4 - £7 a pair! I have also bought some wii games that haven't moved at all. I shall NOT be touching games again!!
I think its touch and go with some things.... I find if I put them on straight away they get lost as there are so many others doing the same.... hang on to them for a while (week or so) and then list... it takes time to shift them but so far its been worth it!
