Tara - what sort of stuff have you been selling and what has it been going for? Is your total excluding p+p and ebay/paypal charges?
I've found ebay really slow this past month or so, loads of my stuff hasn't sold even at really low prices, an example - put on a Burt's Bees moisturiser worth £18 for a fiver and it never sold!! Not happy. I've made about £180 in the past 4 weeks but my ebay bill was over £30!!
Probably as I ended up relisting a good few items:eek:
Tell us your secret, please!

Morning ladies-I'm going to get booted out of this thread -don't blame me though blame boots.

They have reduced bio oil
They have reduced the lee stafford box of tricks
They have got the frontcover rainbow eyes reborn on offer for a limited time
They have a maxfactor gwp -I love maxfactor gwp & I use 3 products regularly
and I desperately need/want/will use all of the above.

I have a £3 off mascara voucher for maxfactor
I only have about £20 in points left as I spent £60 worth on baby items
I am almost out of bio oil and need some more for bump
I gave my last front cover set to sis.

Am I allowed?:)

Of course you are there has got to be some allowance made for the pregnancy hormones afterall:)

Can I say thank you to lostinrates, mrs-moneypenny and bronnie for helping me see sense.

Bio oil is definately cheaper to buy in home bargains at £4.99 and boots only have it slightly reduced to £8.24 so it's not worth buying even for the points.

The frontcover rainbow eyes reborn although very nice is still an unnecessary luxury &I can live without it as I have 2 urbun decay pallettes and plenty of other eyeshadows.

The lee stafford box of tricks is lovely and reasonable to buy at £28 from £69.99
but I can live without it for now & will wait a bit longer before considering buying it.

The only item I have decided to go for is the maxfactor gwp-this is because I do need mascara, I have a £2 moc for false lash effect and I can get a spare face powder compact as this is a regular staple for me.Also the mini foundation from the gift usually lasts me a month so I won't have to open my fullsize.

I have saved over £50 by thinking and still have my points too.

Salesaddict-I think I crave toiletries more than food-last week it was the bodyshop glitch.I have managed to buy plenty for baby with points though so I can justify little spends on myself.

Step away from the Lee Stafford Box of Trix. The straighteners only heat up to 170 degrees, so effectively useless. Also, I have the Babyliss styling wand, which I love and use every weekend and it's FAB if you're after one. You can pick them up in TJ Hughes for £15.

I've used up a shower gel and a bottle of body lotion tonight. The basket now fits everything in! I'm almost at the end of the big bottle of tresemme conditioner and will then use up what is decanted into the handwash pump bottle.
WIBA? No, don't need to as still have plenty of replacements for these items in my stash!
