Our listings are now up to £171.45 with 4 hours to go!!!!!! That's before we've even added postage on so hopefully we might make a bit extra on the postage!!!!
WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!! All but 1 ending this evening and I'm so excited now!!!

    Remember the more profit you make, the more ebay takes in final value and then paypal takes some more. Good going tho...

    I know it's a pain isn't it.. but the way we see it it's all money that we've got from nothing as pretty much all of the stuff has been lying around the house gathering dust.. plus we'll be paying the seller fees with the money in paypal so its all still profit at the end of the day! woohoo!!!

    Thats excellent. Well done. Last time I put anything on I sold 6 items and only got £20.00. INC postage. Was hardly worth it, made about £5.00 profit, so good going!

    £207.82 now! wooo! Plus have just worked out how much extra we'd get from postage and that adds another £103 on top so we're bound to make a little bit of extra profit! This ebay lark is soooo addictive!

    Wow! You're doing so well. I'm on £9.09 on 4 items out of 14 at the moment- not quite as dramatic! Still, plenty of time left and let's hope people decide to use their rainy Sunday evening to shop on eBay...
