  • Yay sold a few things on ebay tonight so will work out actual profit once I have posted items. Got to relist some though but may wait to do that so end on different day or is it best to stick to ending on sundays???

    I have found that any evening is good. In my experience people tend to look more over a weekend.
    I have sold 65 items over the past three weeks, I am gobsmacked that I have sold so much ! I now have 21 items to wrap up and post tomorrow :j

    Thanks, bit put out when I realised how much the Ebay and Paypal fees are. And thats with having had two free listing weekends :eek:
  • well so far not a good start to the competition. I sent my first blog to them via email and it bounced back saying undeliverable !
    So far the site shows no sign of the competition either. I will update when it goes live.

    I have been watching and reading for weeks and am ready to get involved. Im aiming for 6k in 2011! But will be happy with whatever I get.

    I have a couple (alot) of debts to pay off and was told at work today that the company isnt doing too great and that they will have to let some people go. As i was the last one in (and in my opinion dont do a huge amount during the day - hence I have read all the posts) and I only have a 1 week notice period I can see myself going first :(. I do have a job lined up for October, but need to get rich inbetween (or at least break even).

    I am going to be a queen bee at this. I have spend several days researching/signing up to hundreds of survey sites etc. The problem is you get so excited and over ambitious you try and do everything at once. I am going to be sensible, note down everything I want to do and set a date that I am going to start it.

    Today I had a load of ebay bits end, just over £100. I think thats what has really spured me on. So here we go! I will be a regular poster, just so I can keep track and also because Im really proud to be attempting this!!

    Since I changed my thinking from "I must pay off my debts" to "Wouldnt making money be fun" everything has just seemed so much more do-able!:j
    I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.
