Had 5 auctions finish yesterday - only 2 sold - grand total of ....wait for it....... £3.50!! But that is in the bank and there are still 11 items listed with £25.99 in bids so far - hopiing that will go up quite a bit. But it does seem slow going on eBay at the moment....

I;ve not joined the challenge as I have pretty much nothig left to sell now except maybe the clothes of my own back or a bottle of my breath!!!!! But I have a tip for you all, the two things that I never thought would sell on ebay and in fact I only put it on to prove to my OH I could sell anything was 2 old used magazines (cost £1 each sold for £2.50 for both!!!) and a half used pen!!! I couldn't believe it when people actually bought stuff like that, things I was going to bin! So you relly can sell anyting on Ebay! HAve fun and good luck to you all!

Well I'm a little late but I have a tonne of clothing I'm gonna list this weekend when it's 10p listing and I already have a computer case on there finishing on sunday (carefully timed!) which should fetch a bit. If it's not pick up then I'll use the courier through quidco making it a little cheaper to post than Royal mail with their new rules Boooo hiss at RM!

Anyway I've decided to do an Aug/Sept challenge for Ebay Might even see what the weather is like and contemplate doing a carboot at the weekend! OOOOOOO

Everytime I plan a car boot it rains.............. same as when i hang out washing.

I have just sold something on e bay for a whopping 3.50 so I am finally off the mark.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah

Ebay selling is coming easily to me, ebay selling is coming easily to :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

If you're selling on the cheap listing days always remember a lot of other people will be too, so more competition, so what I do if I am selling quite a few bits is change how many days rather than the standard 7 the more popular at 3 or 5 and the less at 10 days.

Bought a couple of bulk lots to give me a boost this month, fingers crossed I wll make a profit on them (will deduct costs off what I say I have made) :cool:

MrsTinks

well I have 2 bin bags of clothes I never wear to list this weekend I might vary their finish times (if nothing else then to avoid clogging up my inbox when they all finish :rotfl:)
Had a good tidy out of my wardrobe the other week and decided to list a bunch of stuff I can't fit anymore When I loose weight (not if... I WILL loose weight!) then I will get replacements as I sell the bigger sizes that are then too big lol!
