Aaargh,

I have so much to sell on ebay. I need to get a move on and actually upload all the listings - I was hoping for a cheap listing day but none have proffered themselves - and I've even entered about 10 items into turbo lister but just need to check them and press the upload button...

Car had an MOT today but all was well, and it was very much under what I budgeted, so yippee for budgets!

Congrats on the MOT and ebay situation!!!!

I have recently been entering my items straight onto ebay using their seller's form and have found when I am listing more than one item, my initial fee for my item is £0.10 (£0.99 starting price) and the remaining fees (for the same starting price) are £0.05.

In relation to cheaper listing days, I have read on the ebay forum that these may not be the best days to sell to make the most profit as a lot of people tend to list on these days and your items can get lost in the mass.

Hope you dont mind me adding my 2p worth!!!

Yes I have always wondered if cheap listing days were worth it, but I suppose it depends how you use them - I remember free listing days and they were definately worth it!

Good tip with the cheaper follow up listings! I use turbo listed because then I can upload it all quicker, or so I find, and can write a "rough" description and then flesh it out a bit when I feel like it. I just need to make myself do it - I have got way too much stuff - I just need to get up off my backside and sell it!

Assuming other people want my rubbish, of course...
