Missed last weekend's free listings so I'll sort out & photograph some odds that I've got so I'll be ready for the next one.
I've got a lot of clothes that are 'good makes' but I've not tried selling clothing before. What's the best way to photograph them? On a hanger or on a body!

I use a mannequin and if not that my second choice is flat on the floor. I don't tend to bid on items that are being worn in photos, I think its nicer without so a hanger may be best

29 items ending tonight... only 4 with bids on them. Hopefully there'll be some last minute bidders.

Also sold one of my B.I.N items, so will get that posted tomorrow (once I find something to package it in!)

well 5 out of my 15 items ended last night. After ebay fees it works out at £50 profit (though thats not taking paypal fees into consideration) and £25 is cash on collection so quite chuffed with that. That takes me half way to getting my timing belt done

I've only got 2 items on at the moment but have £125 in my Paypal account . Have got some important paperwork to fill in but will be adding some new listings over the week and relisting others.

Am going to keep the money in Paypal for a couple of months; hopefully I can reach £500+

bear in mind PP isnt like a bank and isnt regulated the same way.
better to set up a basic bank account to hold your funds in,if you want it separate
I used a 2nd account ot offer bank transfers(no fees!) and then transferred monies fro that,to my main account

Congrats everyone on their March sales so far. I was too busy with work to put any real effort in and so just used the free listing weekend to relist 17 items. Sold 5 of them for a total profit of about £46.03 after fees so chuffed about that. (Still waiting on a payment for an additional item of about £7 so may be able to add that unless they do not pay like one last month - who stunningly still has their 100% rating - Grrr.)

Just been in the garage and there's a lot more to list for April....now just need the motivation

Just wanted to remind anyone who buys on ebay as well as sells there that they should sign up with TopCashBack or something similar. I've managed to get back over £77 in the last 3 years of buying on Ebay through that site. (You get up to 40% o the listing price paid). Certainly has helped with the fees I've had to pay for my listings.

Cheers everyone,
Happy Monday,

I have 3 items that sold yesterday that are all going to be cash on collection so will add them on then. Can I ask a question? a couple of people have asked me recently if I had a buy it now price for some of the items that were advertised on an auction? How can you change it to a BIN after you have started & can you only do this on items that haven't received any bids? Thanks
