  • Just a quick thought if anyone does iscan or ipoints you could cash in your points for this challenge, (I don't have enough points to get anything decent to sell/swap - boo hoo)

    Yes.....am too overwhelmed today to just work it out - am sure there's a simple method but it escapes me...having a blonde moment!:o

    Go into My Account in Paddypower, click on Personal Details and then tick Show Odds as Decimal.

    All bookies do decimal odds except Totesport which you can either view at a site like oddschecker or do the maths in your head: first number divided by 2nd number + 1 .. so 3/2 is 3/2=1.5 + 1 = 2.5.

    I just wanted to say well done to everyone - you all seem to be doing great!
    And that I made £5.38 with my ebay selling so far, (ummm maybe I should stick to matched betting - although now need to save up money for that again because my money for nothing money has been spent on car insurance and MOT-but first time in my life I've paid my car insurance for the year ahead of the year if that makes sense- yippee!!!!)

    I have also made a better total of £17.25 mystery shopping with reatil eyes so am now off to update my signature!

    Also does everyone feel that it's okay to sell amazon vouchers on ebay? Because I've £16 worth from diferent surveys and am not sure if selling them is against their rules?

    For everyone who's worried about matched betting if you can invest a lot of time to start with and a bit of money it's a really good way to make money forever! I highly recommend it - I'm now off to do some with my mystery shopping earnings, (not much but a start!)
    well done Hannah

    With ebay its always best to see what the completed items are going for. If there's amazon vouchers completed in 7 days then it should be fine to list them

    Vouchers actually do really well on ebay (Marks, Boots and the like can go for over 80% of the face value)

    Feel very manly today, think i've stopped the hot water cylinder from leaking (grrrrrrr!):D

    with the printer that i brought in boots i got 1299 points and have spent 600 of them on some L'Oreal pure zone anti-imperfection regulating moisturiser. It was £6.49 in Boots but its was part of their L'Oreal 2 for £6 offer so got two boxes for £6 worth of points.

    Not sure how they'll do on ebay but its worth a try
    Debt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO
  • Just a thought- if an item is on offer in Boots I always wait until the offer has finished before I list it. If it's on a 2 for £6 at the moment then personally I would wait...just a thought and hope you don't mind me saying!

  • right, im thinking of giving this a go, my dad is going to give me something to sell on ebay, does it only have to make a pound or can it be more? (sorry if this has been asked before but there are soooo many pages here)
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
  • right I have started the challenge hope you will all allow me to join!

    have just posted a festival of britain five shilling piece on ebay, they seem to have sold recently for around £3, and my dad had 2 of them from when we cleared his aunts house recently so was more than pleased to help me start this. would it be possible for you to watch it for me please if its not too much trouble? its the one with the green background

    thanks, kerry
