    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!

    Thats what I'm doing - extra motivation for my diet. Also the only clothes I bought in the sale were a size too small.... My oh thinks I am mad;)
  • Yip, I'm also selling off the stuff that no longer fits me! Loads of stuff listed that have only been worn once before I put on a bit of weight, and a few items that are brand new (not many tho)! The only thing is.....the new stuff has got NO bids at all which I'm mightily disgruntled at. My dearest item starts at 4.99 with the majority starting at 99p. Heyho, if they sell, they sell, if not they will just have to get relisted which I will have time to do in the 10p listing days this weekend!

    I've come for a 'I want some bids' moan. It works on the Amazon thread, you moan, you get a sale!
    I have 13 auctions and only 1 bid for 99p and about 4 watchers, grrrrrrrrrrr.:rotfl:

    'Bids are coming easy to me,
    bids are coming easily to me,
    bids are coming easily to me.'

    I'll report back later to tell you that its worked.:rotfl:

    I have 2 items listed one with 4 watchers one with 5 and only one has a bid of 99p on it so far LOL!! ok ok so I know it'll fetch more (it's a computer case and there are no others like it on e-bay) and the other is a BNWT waspie and they usually sell well :) but it still annoys me lol!

    Have just decided to list a basque type top on ebay as well that I wasn't gonna - I love it and it's dead posh BUT it's slightly too big... and it's expensive enough to make it worth having it altered... but I know I'll never get it done :( So I have decided it's joining the E-bay pile tonight for upload on saturday/sunday

    Hi ive decided for a big push on ebay. The most successful items seem to be hamster things!
  • i made £156 so far this month on ebay! :) £40 of it belongs to my little boy tho! but the rest of the stuff was mine that i had sold! £156 has gone into my bank account! and will pay off my overdraft! :D :j
    :confused: I dont know what to do anymore :confused:
  • Wahey! Just sold my first three things in ages! Paypal account now has £14.06 in it after paypal fees - not taken off postage costs and ebay fees from that tho......off to update sig now!
