From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread

moneymabel

Morning Yukki :-) I might have a go at some jewellery as well-just sold something on Ebay so need to sort that out.

Dilli-rapidshare are being a pain and wont let me download so I've PM'd you my email address
skintbint- the cakes are lovely and I like the crystal topper-if you do more toppers anytime and you want to send me photos I will put them in my blog. Did have a thought at about 4am -if you dont want a website of your own I could have a page on my website with photos of your toppers and a contact email for you (specific email address thats only used just on my site) and do some sort of commision setup? bear in mind it was 4am so might be a really dumb idea lol! Would only be pics of wedding related stuff but i could always add that you do birthdays etc as well.

Well I've taken the plunge and bought a job lot of items for £60. This is much more than I've paid so far for items to resell and its a bit of a risk because with the stuff I'm buying you never quite know what you're going to get. But nothing ventured, nothing gained! Just stressing out that I've used up a full week's profit! Arghhh!!!

Morning! Hope your are all well

Right after yesterday's mammoth posting session, I need to get cracking on the next batch for listing today. Light here is terrible today though so not sure if I can do the photos. I also need to post my commitments for the week. Started on them yesterday so a couple are green already!

post ebay parcels (2 late payers to go today)
transfer paypal money
sort through cd's ready for listing thurs/fri (started!)
photo 30 ebay things
list at least 15 ebay things thurs
list at least 15 ebay things fri

and
verify paypal account Anyone got advice on this one? Why do they need it and what do they do with the direct debit agreement? Do they start taking the fees from your bank account rather than credit card or something? I have a couple of designer items to list and it's insisting that I have a verified account before I am allowed to list them. Any ideas peeps?

Thanks in advance

Never had anything go out of my bank I am sure it is just extra security measure to make sure you are who you say you are and not gonna rip any one off. I think with all the fakes etc around they have to be very careful. I am verified and never had a problem x
Thanks in advance

2cats1kid - I have a wee boy child. If you haven't got anyone else I will happily send you a few photos to use. If it is helping someone to reach their target then I am happy

As for me lol I have been shopping this morning, sold 2 towel cakes and a gift box for a 30th bday another £40 to add to the pot Off to the cinema to watch atomboy with boy child and his friend, luckily the other mum is being dragged too or I think I would come back bald. x

Morning all!

Haven't been around for a while, what with OH having some days off, kids on half term and just being a bit down in the dumps, but you're all still as inspiring as usual.

Has anyone ever sold anything on FO.LK?

http://fo.lk/

Individual items of kid's clothing seem to sell well as far as I can see. Might give it a go.......famous last words as usual...

Anyway, lovely sunshine down here today, so will get out with the kids.....ooooo, nearly forgot, big news, my youngest son finally took his first steps by himself last night....we're so excited, as we thought he might never walk due to developmental probs.

Have a productive day everyone!!
