Morning all. Managed to list 101 items on ebay yesterday, and I'm geared up (photos taken) to try and do the same today. I already have bids for £55, so fingers crossed, I'll have a nice sum to tell you about when they finish next week. Have also just signed up to another survey site, who pay out in Amazon vouchers (thanks to the thrifty gifty forum), justtheanswer.co.uk You get 50 points for joining, and 50 points for recommending, up to 4 people, and the pay-out level is 500 for a £5 voucher. Happy to refer if anyone is interested.

I would be careful about listing to many items on ebay, I think they have a cutoff point of around 100 items a month and they classify you as a business, don't know the ins and outs of it but I know they have been forcing people to change to business status, might be worth checking out their forums/help pages before you list many more

I know the cut-off point is 100 items pcm for free insertions at 99p or less,and they get funny about people listing lots of items the same - say like someone bought some cheap toys at tesco to sell on for example - but if it looks like that you are genuinely having a clear out,they tend to be fine with that. I know a friend who had a private account, added multiple listing for five items with more than 6 in quantity and was asked to chage her account over.

Thanks everyone, it is a real mixture of stuff, so hopefully I will be ok.

i think it will be ok, i imagine that we are not the only ones having a good turn out on ebay this weekend! They will probably think that im a book shop with all my old books going on there! Apparently my brother in law has listed 200 items already :eek: im only upto 54....!

Hi ticklepenny,
have you had a look at etsy or folksy as they often have guides and how to's on there.
If you are making them to sell for children you will probably need to conform to certain standards and mark if they are unsuitable for under 3 yrs old etc.
I think it is actually much more straightforward than it sounds though so don't let that put you off - just worth checking out.

:eek: Just been trying to work out conformity :eek: I do not understand how to obtain CE marking. I have decided that someone with great knowledge needs to write a guide for dummies lol It may just be baby brain but think it will take a while for me to get my head around it all.

Cheers x

Did a car boot this morning, there and back and unloaded in 2 hours and made £15, not too bad, started to rain and the wind was biting so just came home!

Put a couple more things on ebay, still no bids on the stuff ending tonight but you never know & I will relist them as soon as they finish if they dont sell.

Morning ... well afternoon, i didn't get up till half 1 :rotfl:.

Working at 6, can't be bothered but its extra pennies I suppose.

Nothing listed on eBay yet but i did get £3 from a survey. £20 put in the piggy last night.

well I now have over 60 items on ebay mostly with a 99p starting bid and 8 have bids on them. a lot of them are ending tomorrow so really i timed that a bit wrong lol - valentines day and all that.

I have loads more things to put on but just soooo can't be bothered at the moment and a bit bored with listing stuff if I'm honest.

Applied fo some jobs at the end of last week so hoping something will turn up.

Thinking of becoming an Avon rep -signed up before but didn't get to do anything due to various reasons, doing rusbish at bingo - no money so doing free bingo and winning nothing!

Oh what else can I do???
