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?

I look for deals occasionally - I resold Just Dance for the wii and got and extra £8 on average for each copy that I bought 4 copies at £16 each. I tried again with let's tap and just broke even. But, it was because although I researched - I was greedy. It is just best to keep looking on grabbits as every so often an amazing deal comes up! Also, there is a site called fat fingers for ebay mispellings I know a few people have used it to buy items and then relist them correctly on ebay.

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, see if you can get samples some but not all companies are willing to send t shirt samples so you can decide on the quality before hand. So, do it that way then get them made up. Could also do t-shirts for stag do's too

Has anyone heard from Munchki- i wanna know how its going!!!!!

Wayne-just an idea-i was doing fancy dress last year and bought some transfer paper from Ebay-you print out your image on your normal printer and then iron it onto a tshirt...might be able to sell blank tshirts with a sheet of that paper individually or in lots for people wanting to do their own designs/photos for hen nights etc?

I have a lot of fun on the Grabbits board too, but it isn't for the faint hearted LOL!

I was just checking out tarot readings on Ebay, and came across a listing with poor grammar and text speak. Would anyone be put off by this if they were looking for such a service? It just didn't come across as professional to me, more like something that was just thrown together, now that may not be the case but if I were a potential client I would be put off by a listing that looked amateur ...

It's nor great, is it?

To me text speak outside of the phone implies laziness. The spelling and grammar isn't too hot either. Seems to have fairly good feedback though.

I would personally be put off, also I guess I wouldn't buy advice from ebay; I would rather find someone directly. Also I thought that you could not sell a digital/email service on ebay?!

That would put me right off- I personally wouldn't buy anything from anyone on eBay who wrote the listing in text speak- if they can't be arsed to write a listing then I doubt they'd bother to pack the item correctly or post it promptly. I realise this probably sounds like I'm being snobby but just my opinion :-)

I'm doing so badly this month but I've been stressed trying to sort out going back to work! Finally sorted but they've screwed up the dates so i'm back FT for 14 days. So taking into account my 3 weeks leave that i'm taking i'll have 5 weeks at full pay. That will get stashed away in the savings I think as we've managed to live on OH wage plus SMP fine.

Doing shop and scan too so saving up those points. Will do a HUGE shop when I have saved enough i.e. Christmas.

Must get bum back on dooyoo. Been looking for PT bar work but theres none!:mad:

That's the impression I'd been given, hence why I checked it out. Ebay's T & C are typically unhelpful, but since there's a listing category for email readings they must be allowed!
