Hi Slade - great thread - can I sign up as #3 in the £30k in 2 years on e-bay club please? MAybe we could have regular virtual meetings to compare notes? I started with a set of listings which closed last Sunday and have about 23 more closing this Sunday - just a start but have made about £25 profit so far. It's a start!

Hi beth, i didn't know there was a no 2, but sure why not.
And as you say we can compare notes and share our progress and see if we can help each other to keep going.

I have got some clothes that I want to put on Ebay that I got from the Staff shop where I worked - baby has grown out of them but they have a black mark on each label....would you put these on ebay and just explain the reason for the black mark?? not sure what to do??

liuhut, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't put them on eBay. Make sure you explain why though. I've bought clothes from sellers before that have had the actual shop tag cut out and the seller never even mentioned it in the listing. As long as your honest then I see no problem.

Hi Slade - I thought post #5 was number 2 but if not I am very happy to be. Do you know any of the stuff by planetsms on ebay - he deals in books and info products. I bought the website package from him a while ago but have been ill so am only just starting to get my head around it. Boy is that guy clever - no - I don't make any money from promoting him - I just think that following his methods is probably how I will get to £30k. Will keep watching this thread to see how you are doing and will update you on my progress. More bids are starting to come in for my auctions ending tomorrow - the last 24 hours really get exciting don't they!!

Cheers :beer: :beer:

Very weird thing to say about 'planetsms'. Just looked at the guys ebay auctions and i struggle to see how he even sells al those ebooks. He has hundreds listed all of which would cost money to list and to take money for. He sells at a mere 97p so will prob only make 50p tops per book if he sold them all.

I bet half the listings he doesn't sell and so those listing fee's will come from any potentially small profit he would have made on the ones he did sell.

Interesting

Hi Ebayers
New to Martins site, but not to ebay

I ask friends etc to save their padded envelopes for me which helps with these costs.

Also I buy a roll of batch end wallpaper from my local Laura Ashley for £1.50 - the thick paper is best - this is really useful - used inside out for wrapping and posting - much cheaper than brown paper etc.

Look out for the free listing days - or list for a penny days etc - beware though I got caught out when they did a free listing day - it was for ebay ireland (ebay.ie) only and I didn't notice!

Good luck

I would be a bit careful - I used to work for a retail store where we got staff purchases etc and it was clearly stated in our contracts that we couldn't sell on - I know another chain - that have a very active investigations department - I wouldn't want you to be looking for your NEXT job too soon.

Right guys a couple of things have sold last night, it only came to £10 but i am off out today to find things to reinvest it into and hopefully turn it in to more.
I have decided to wait till tonight to list most of my things on a 7 day listing as i think that this is the best time for people to look through and to purchase.
I am of to a local warehouse which sells alot of stuff of cheap so hopfully i can pick up a bargin, and maybe even a regular line.
will let you know how i get on.

good luck to the rest.
