February Make £10 a day challenge ~ALL WELCOME!~

Right, I really, really need some help. Please don't judge me for this...but the whole selling used shoes on eBay...

Someone has now bought me stuff from my Amazon wishlist. Which is fine, my full name has been removed and items come straight to me. Except the marketplace item he bought me. So he wants to forward this on to me.

A PO box is £62.85 for the year, or £51 for 6 months. There is no guarantee that anyone else will ever buy me anything again and the item he needs to forward to me is another pair of shoes. Only worth about £10 really, so not worth forking out the cost of a PO box. But I'm not letting him have my address.

Anyone got any advice? I know it's hardly the end of the world, and woe is me, someone is buying me presents, but I want to handle this properly.

Right, so I had some more eBay sales last night, including the end of my smelly shoes! Total now stands at £152.84 which means that I've made my money for my car tax, whoo!

I find that this makes me a bit slack for a few days because I'm a few days "ahead".

I'm trying to make the money for my car car tax too emmaglet, it caught me by suprise!
So last I put 3 items on ebay - should all be good sellers, did music magpie for the first time with my old dvds and put one that was worth something on amazon. Also started with jackp0tjoy, am due a refund for an item I've sent back and have a bit in various piggybanks - hope thats enough!

emmaglet, what about sending to a work address or OH / Friends works address?

Another 25 pound odd to add for me today from an e-bay sale last night. Must get more listing/ re-listing done today.
Fallen behind a bit with my Dooyoo too, I have found it alot easier than i thought though, i didn't think my English would be up to scratch but I'm doing quite well.

Can you not get the item sent for you care of your local post office? You can go in with ID and collect it then without him knowing your address.

Have just found £1.12 in washing machine. Probably from OH's work trousers. Does this count or should I hand it back? Bit much, such moral questions this early in the day!!!
