1 of my items has a bid already (£4.99), think I will be checking my items a lot this week.

Definitely off to bed in a minute.

Well done TMD, NJ88 and Aesop - I managed 33 in total including 11 relists. Have one bid for £12.99 - and lots of watchers on a number of things. I think this FLW may work out well :j

Goodnight everyone!

My total listed at the mo is 128, 4 ending tonight, 2 have bids, only 99p and 1.85. I don't mind cos they're outgrown kids clothes, I need to get rid. I list them on their own first if they don't sell I list them in a bundle. I have a few bundles, some no photos yet. They're on my bedroom floor :eek:waiting to be sorted. Someone bid on my 3.99 baby bundle this morning :jNeed to post 2 things today.

I'm doing well so far this month. I bet I won't have any sales in February

Thank you Katie07 for the spreadsheet, but I don't have an excel in my laptop. when I download it won't open. It would be great if I can get it to work, I've been doing mine in a Notepad manually

I don't have Excel either, so I downloaded Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/). It's basically the same as Excel but free!

Wow MM - that's fabulous!!! I don't know how you manage it, it felt like a bit of a marathon to do the 33 I posted.

Just wondering, are those phone apps much faster to help with the listing? (My DH has an Android phone that I could grab potentially.) I did list a few books this past weekend and found it super easy as Ebay imported all the info and a picture! for me. I thought it might do the same for other stuff when I put in an EAN code but no luck. I'm looking for any way to get things posted faster. (MM - I have tons of kids/baby clothes and some of my own I'd like to post but it just seems like so much work to do so.)

Thanks for any tips!

Thanks Slipper! I had 3 ebay windows/pages? open and just did 'sell similar', I'd keep switching while waiting for the other one to load pictures/review page. It is time consuming listing clothes, having to describe and take measurements, and research how much a similar item went for. But most of the time they do sell. They get relisted for 99p and if it sells at that price, it's fine. I have one buyer who gave me a neutral with comment 'excellent condition and as describe but disappointed'. I don't know what she's expecting for a 99p ben sherman shirt, ds wore it once to church. No pleasing some people :mad: Times I think it's not worth it.

I have an android phone and tried listing some items but I'm just too slow. I prefer actual keys :rotfl:it's good when you're out and about and want to schedule/list on fld, write the minimum info then revise later. I haven't listed books for ages.
I don't know a quicker way of posting other than packing quickly and getting to the PO as soon as, then send 1st class:p I've heard of franking, but don't know much.

Thanks Katie, i will download openoffice later. Need to get on packing and get to the po before it shuts later.

I managed to list 1 new item and do 2 relists of unsold and 1 relist of something we had 2 of but 1st item only had 1 bid.

Have 7 things finishing tonight - 4 of which will sell and as they're all completely different items took the risk and packaged up yesterday as I'm out until late tonight. Any of the 3 that don't sell I'll just list again.

Going to aim to get another 5 or so things that can start at 99p ready to list next weekend and then prepare the clothes I want to list at higher than 99p ready for the next free listing - need to pace myself!

- I know what you mean!

How is everyone else doing? I've sold 2 things on Gumtree for £45 total and have one bid for £12.99 on Ebay. Yay! - 3 things to lessen the clutter (and those Gumtree ones are big too! ).

Well all my weekend sales have now been paid for and posted so much better than last week!
Have decided to just use Paypal totals to calculate Jan ebay sales (so including P&P) - then from Feb 1st I am going to start using the spreadsheet and just report my profits! (hopefully !)
