  • wow well done on your bingo redeem, i've been playing since dec and still no where near, i think its because i dont know when to stop lol, and i've only just started doing the posts, day two complete now yey!

    rite all ebayers, how often do they do this free listing thing, is it very rare, i think i've missed out on this weekend as i still havent found anything to sell yet.

    Freedom - the redeems are done on Thursday - you will get the Amazon voucher through then. Just keep an eye out that it doesn't go in your junk box. ;)

    Thanks so much for some reason I find it difficult to get info on there, shall look forward to the voucher Thurs. Little steps but feeling positive.


    My first batch of ebay has done well. One item unsold but re-listed. Rest of the stuff has made £119.75 so over the chellenge. I still have other stuff to go on (next week when I can get the house straight again). Fingers crossed I will beat last years total of £138.

    Wow really impressed!

    Milla - they do it quite regularly - We will let you know when the next one is. You can list anything for 99p and not pay any initial fees, but then you have to hope the price goes up. The great thing with a free listing day is that you can put on the minimum you want without any extra cost.

    I've done a guide on post 2 I think it is - have a read through. It's easy once you get going AND quite addictive.

    Thanks Freedom. I've listed an ipod that I lost down the back of a drawer, couldn't find and bought a new one :eek: and some of our Wii games that are not used very often. ;) Nothing exciting. :)

    Just do what you can - when you can.

    Challenge 1: January 2011.

    1. THE AIM IS TO MAKE £50 ON EBAY. (after all ebay/paypal fees and postage has been taken into account).

    Listed 20 Items last week, all dvds. Only 9 selling at the mo, but up to £22. So we will see what the 2 days brings.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    2. OPEN A SEPARATE CHRISTMAS SAVINGS ACCOUNT.


    I can’t open an account, being a bankrupt, the banks won’t have me! I have however started a tin which I am saving £1 a day in. My Ebay earnings will sit in my Paypal account – as long as I can prevent my OH from spending it!!!!!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    3.SAVE UPTO £5 WHEN YOU DO YOUR SHOPPING

    Only £1 saved so far.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    4. Save for January sales!

    We have always saved our coppers and 5ps in a bottle, but have been counting them up and putting them in the bank everyso often. Bought one of those jars that adds it up for you as you put the money in. This is encouraging my children too.


    My children do not have a bank account each, so we have discussed opening them one each (with the help of a friend) and that they should save a portion of their pocket money each month. They seem quite open to the idea at the moment, lets see how they feel once I am taking the £s off them. lol
