Do you all class ebay postage in your NSDs?

I don't currently sell via EBay but if I did then I would count the postage as you are going to be covering your costs. You're not cheating don't worry :A

Do you all class ebay postage in your NSDs? I have been classing days i just send postage as spend days. But this really messes up my total. Technically it isn't spending my money as it is postage paid for by ebay buyer. I send postage a few days a week. Usually Monday and weds as they are my work days. But these are days i don't spend anything else.
Though if i ignore postage when calculating NSD's then i feel i am cheating a bit!
I know you make your own rules but....
What are your thoughts?

Hi littlekel, Others have asked the same question before, I seem to recall, and I think the general consensus is that ebay isn't actual spend as the buyer pays it. If you feel that's cheating though, how about you allocate a certain amount of money at the start of the week (a day that you would spend normally) and take the actual money out of that when you pay it out. Would that help?

Well technically the person buying pays for it - unless it's free p&p on the listing...
I'd like to know too, I've got an item that will need posting tomorrow but was hoping for a nsd :think:

Also if I joined the PAD would they count as spends or not:think:

If it's going up 1p per litre then what the hell am I worrying for?? That's 40p extra per tank.

Panic over. Sorry for the false alarm It's just that in the past months I've seen the cost of a tank go up by about £5 and I do quite a bit of mileage so I've become my father and am obsessed by pump prices :rotfl:

Right........whatother scare mongering can I do today.............

Hi curlygirl - was just about to reply to micron and you, but not worth it now:rotfl::rotfl: Thanks for trying to help us out though:A

Hey kittycat sounds like you are in the same position as me. I reckon knowing our faults is half the battle - the other half is to stop spending!!!

Best of luck with your NSD's. My first attempt so fingers crossed.

Good luck to willbedebt free and all of us other newbies out there. I've been lurking here for some time and am sure that I can beat this debt with all of your help. xx

I'll aim for 18 next month. I may well get lucky as I have been in the past couple of months!

Hi All

After my pretty embarrasing failure last month, only managing 2NSD's!:o can i stick with 6 again this month.

Really struggling to get going with this challenge - but do want to get better. The posts with 10+ NSD's make me hang my head in shame!!!

Hi!

I hope you don't mind if I join in too? April has to be a very frugal month for me - I need to start really economising to help me through the lean months of July and August when I won't get paid for teaching - hopefully will have a full time job in Sept though!

I'd like to attempt 10 NSDs in April as a first effort please.

Thank you!
