    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!

    Im selling anything that is not glued down on ebay! I have a DD who goes through toys and dvds very quickly,and I did downsize last year so i do have lots of 'junk' floating around.

    Oh that did make me chuckle, thank you. I will be going home later and anything that isn't screwed down I will be putting on ebay :rotfl: But seriously i think I wil be putting some shoes on and coast clothes etc. Can anyone please tell me where is the best place to get cash for old cds was it music magpie or something?
    Too much month, not enough Cash!

    well done jo i'm currently visualising myself one size smaller lol thats not going to come through the post unless its a free sample of slimming pills lol. glad for you though takes the pressure off
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x
  • 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. HTHs.

    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!:)

    Week 2 update:
    £35.50 received from mystery shop assignments
    £4.08 from survey sites
    £47.67 from Topcashback

    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.
  • 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.

    jmds - wow, well done!
