    well i have six listings on at the moment, finishing tomorrow, three are selling one with two bidders. so should have another tenner or so to add to my total, also one paypal cheque thingy not clearing till 23rd, making it over a week!

    my plan is to get fifty quid together then cash it in and pay off part of my od, then start again. i'd let it build up but i think getting some of my od payed off would give me a bigger boost!

    I'm the same, I think if I pay my card off as I go along it will motivate me more. I am just going to go list some more things now.

    Well oddly the thing I have on e-bay that has the most bidders at the moment is a skirt my OH hates! He couldn't believe I even bothered to list it... on the other hand my £75 top from Debenhams doesn't even have a bid or watcher for 99pence... don't you LOVE ebay :rotfl:

  • Its really strange isnt it? I have a few designer items listed that you think would go really well but the things that had most watchers/viewers were a set of curtains.......17 watchers and only 4 bidders - £5 was not a great sale for them really!!!! Heyho, I don't mind, someone else getting the use of them now!

    Last time I went and listed loads of stuff it was a horrid tv controller holder (in the shape of a brown dog) that had the most attention... granted the bidder never paid but I got my charges back etc - suppose I ought to list it again lol!!!

    I have a lovely pile of 8 parcels to go to the Post office today, that will be fun with two toddlers on the bus, LOL. The childrens clothes which I lsited sold very well. I must get round to listing a bundle of DD clothes.
    Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!

  • I received a Postal Order for something today, so I've got to post one thing. £15.00 up and 7 items to finish Sunday with 21 watchers and 1 item with three bids. All clothing.

    I've got loads to list today if my camera obliges.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!
  • I have one item finishing today, which is currently up to £5.52. Quite shocked by this, it's a cd I've had a while and never listened to (not my kinda music), but obviously someone out there likes it!

    Four more items are listed, 3 with watchers, one with a 99p bid.

    I really should list some more. How's everyone else doing?:confused:
