Would somebody be kind enough to explain. I did travel ones but don't understand what these are about

These are usually bog standard retailers. You can accept to do basic quotes where you just assess their site. You can also choose to buy something (small additional fee) or do a purchase and return (bigger small additional fee):rotfl:However, beware because some stores have a minimum spend (supermarkets etc) and some dont have free delivery, so it may end up costing you to return the goods. A quick butchers on their websites should help you.

So, i get X aount of money for assessing the site.

If i chose to buy something (i assume with my own money) i get an additional X amount

If i chose to return it i then get another X amount

so, three parts and three fee's

But if i buy from e.g. beauty/chemest store where deliver is 2.90 or free over £40 i shall be paying that £2.90 from my own money

but return if free. so.....

The 3 parts of the fee, minus the postage will be my profit?

God i hope i've got that right

ooooos theres millions on edig! i have been brave and opted for purchase and returns can only imagine how annoyed i am going to be when i order stuff and have to keep going to collect it from po!

Buy small things that will shove through your letter box

Some tips to make more profit:
Use Quidco or other cashback site.
Look for online codes for free delivery.
Look for offers like "spend £30 for free delivery" and buy something over that.
Check the return instructions as sometimes you can return to store for free. Handy if you're out doing MS work anyway.
If you have to pay for return postage, but the lightest thing you can find.

Thats it. Buying only is good if you were planing to anyway. And if the co has free delivery you could still return it, but on your own time IYKWIM
