    £94.72 from fleabay so far - just got to think that whatever we make is x amount we wouldn't have made without this thread and you lovely ladies.

    It's fantastic to see so many of you on BP, and those of you that are new on here too! Should have a redeem by Thursday, fingers crossed.

    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. ;)


    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 thats brilliant, I have listed 21 items now and still going, got one watcher already, fingers crossed I might actually make some sales :D

    Hmmmm MSE logged me out for some reason, was wondering where "thanks" had gone...
    Anyway, had 18 items listed on ebay, the last 3 finished yesterday and 16 out of the 18 sold, which I am really chuffed about. One of the 3 didn't sell and one of the watchers asked if they could buy it for the price listed, I didn't pick the message up as was out and they emailed me again asking again. i thought they were a bit pushy so relisted the item, and then emailed them to say I had relisted and if they wished to bid then they could do it legitimately. Some people just get my back up sometimes:cool:

    Think I've made around £70 excluding all the postage costs etc so am really pleased. Have listed around another 20 items today, quite a few of which have got watchers and I have spent the last hour trying to catch up on this thread, play bingo and ebay at the same time, I can multitask but not on 3 things so bingo has had to give, have done my posts for the day and played a few games but didn't win tonight, never mind!

    Recycled an unwanted Xmas gift for a birthday today, and have OH birthday in the week so as presents are all sorted have decided we will go out for an all you can eat meal as a treat. The kids think its great they've got a secret!

  • Well done everyone on your ebay listings! You have all done so well.

    I must say I have so much to get on with listing that I couldn't really be bothered with before but your challenge has made me get on and list some items and im around £130 up not deducted paypal or ebay fees yet and still a couple listed. Very pleased, the item with 42 watchers was a perfume that was bought for me that I hadn't used and was gathering dust.

    Need to sort out everything else to be listed and move it to make space for the kids christmas presents - think we need a bigger house, or another cupboard somewhere lol

    Did not win a SAUSAGE on bingo tonight. Im not doing ebay listing, but sounds like you are all going great guns. Im still getting over this cold and so tired, taking me all my time to keep up on here, and do my bingo :)

    Evening All,

    I've not posted lately so thought I'd check in quickly. I've not gotten anything on ebay yet, I had planned to get it done this weekend but have lacked motivation to do anything at all. I too have suffered with depression, for 9 years now, and am gutted as my best friend is emigrating to australia with her husband and children, they leave 2 weeks tomorrow. Its laid me low emotionally as I cant bear the thought of her not being here. I'm hoping I'll get something listed over the next week as I do have lots to put on.

    I have got 7000 Bingoport points, £7 on American Consumer Opinion, just over £20 on quidco and £16 on Moon Bingo so little things are working slowly.

    Going to have a read through my other subscribed threads now.

    Have a good night all.
