Not saved anything this week unfortunately
. Have 5 items on eBay currently at £120 between the so here's hoping that'll hit £200 at least.
I'm busy doing effectively 12 hour shifts writing up my thesis daily now with wee breaks here and there so little time to really get into MSing or such.
My personal challenge now is to have at least one item on eBay at any one time on a 10 day listing. I believe I might be able to get up to £1000 coming through eBay at least. Yay!
Wow, that is impressive money wise & time wise with everything else you are doing!Grocery aim £450pm.Spent £519 August, £584 July, £544 June, £541 May, £549 April, £517 March, £517 Feb,£555 Jan, £573 Dec, £465Nov, £561Oct, £493Sept, £426Aug,£496 Jul, £528Jun, £506May,£498April, £558 March, £500Feb, £500 Jan, £490 Dec, £555 Nov,£566 Oct, £505Sept, £450Aug, £410 July, £437 June, £491 May, £471 April, £440 March, £552Feb, £462Jan0 -

Scorgeous - yes Music magpie are quite good for CDs. It's the only site I know tbh that you can sell CDs to. You don't get a huge amount tbh but it's easy, you just have to put in the code from the back of the CD & agree to sell if you like the price that they offer you. They then send you the postage labels, you send your CDs in a box & then they send youa cheque pretty soon after that.

Bit worried about my 1st e-baying attempt. One of the items is a car for a barbie doll (a Barbie car?) & I myself would only pay a few quid for it but is it already selling at over £5 which is making me think I have probably got the postage amount way too low! Also have a snow white cottage which I only want as collection only & have stated this but was also advertised witha postage cost cosI didn't know how to get rid of the postage bit. I've had a couple of queries on it & just wish I knew how to now delete the posting option! Practise makes perfect & all that but would hate to think that people might think I am trying to mislead them![/QUOTE]
Re deleting the postage cost - At the postage bit of listing, there should be three options, Flat cost to all buyers, Courier and no postage, local pick up only.
Check postal costs at Royal Mail postage checker site - i bought a wee set of digital kitchen scales for a fiver at asda, and even though I am sometimes a bit out I get a better idea of postage.
Am not surprised your items are going for more than you thought, it never ceases to amaze me some of the prices I get for my 'junk', but I am saving things from landfill, making a few pounds, and buyers are getting something they want, so it's all good!:)Sealed pot Challenge 2011 member No 1241 - Final total £154.21

I've got 47 eBay sales finishing over the next couple of days but so far only a few bids worth £20.
I'm also expecting £40 worth of mystery shop money next week, £12.70 from Music Magpie and £10 from surveys.0 -
Claudiac - Thanks but it doesn't seem possible to change the actual postage option when I go into revise. But at least I will know ths for any future postings where I want colletion only.
