In terms of the weeks - just go with what suits you - at the moment the weekly amounts are quite low, so its feasible that you could raise the amounts needed - but obviously this will change as the challenge goes along! I only put next weeks target in as I started right at the start - and its a good leveller for all the newbies to aim for.

Apologies to waveydave for missing you out and benedictadams for your total. I was just doing battle with a HORRIBLE ebayer who is threatening me.... all because I dared to ask for a refund as the goods hadn't arrived. His last email started with the opener - 'Dear Saddo' and ended up by telling me to 'run away like a quiet little girl and get a life' !!!! - so I was a little distracted tonight!

On a brighter note.... I start my new job this week working in Monsoon... oooo lovely things....

Hope you get your money refunded

Why can't all people on ebay be like the people on this thread?

Well Bionic man has just sold for £37 + 11.50 postage to Canada

Giving me a starting total (after ebay and paypal fees removed) of:

£34.89 :beer: :j :beer:

BTW - a usefull tool if you want to calculate how much you have been charged ( or will be charged) by ebay is Ebay fee calculator on the Goofbay site. Theres also some other good ebay related tools and utilities on there

Welcome rachie!

The idea of the challenge is to make money from nothing... so the first £1 needs to be generated from nothing... it can't cost you anything to get it! So... selling something on ebay that you had previously paid for is a no but selling anything you've got for free is a yes! :j Of course, once your profits are underway you can buy items with them and hope to sell them on at a higher price So if your dad didn't ask you to pay for the fabric - that's a great start! :T

No my dad didnt ask me to pay for the fabric so thats a good start I guess!! I have also been 'donated' a handful of shirts (next, ben sherman, M&S etc) by my boyfriend who doesn't wear them any more, if I ebay them is it all profit?? But am I right in saying that the kids buggy I have on there for sale can't be counted cos I bought that in the first place??

Have just spent the last half hour or so ironing and taking photos of shirts!!

Am interested to see how I go!!

I know it's a bit late but I'm going to join in too!

I might start by ebaying a freebie and see where i go from there.
