    FrugaLina - congrats on paying off the CC bill!

    And Alleycat, you'll get to £100 in no time. It only takes a couple of items to do better than you thought, or one big-ticket item and a couple of smaller ones. I'm averaging at least £100/month at the moment, and I've still got loads of stuff to sell.

    I've got a few good bits up in the loft that should go for £10 or so each (I hope :D). Just need to get them down, give them a clean and wack them on. Got 7 due to finish in next couple of days then the 6 listed tonight. Will probably have a week off then list some more.

    Okay, got 29 items listed, less than I would have liked but no choice. Had to keep DS entertained all weekend, and DH's tax return, and then DS was ill tonight, so lost half an hour, getting him to feel better.

    will try to put some smaller items on for 99p through the week.

    Have bids on 4 items and watchers on others. Don't expect these items to go for high value at all, but hey better sold than in my house :D
  • .......And relax!! :coffee:

    Kinda glad free listing is over, i might get something else done now instead!!
    Managed 30 new listings in total :T
    I decided to leave the parcelling up of items sold until this morning, so i'll be getting on with that after this coffee :)

    Have a Fab day everyone :D

    Hooray, after nervously looking at my 40 listings and becoming increasingly anxious at the lack of watchers/bidders, things are finally beginning to happen. Several items now have watchers and 3 items have starter bids.

    Phew, thank goodness - I was getting a bit panicky there!

    How are everyone else's listings looking?
    31.5/100
  • First few days is always the quitest, no one (unless your my mum prehaps) looks through a whole 30 pages of listings. Things should start to get more exciting now :j

    I managed to reach my target of 50 listings in my two weeks off work actually i did it in just over a week thanks to the long free listing :A

    I have 100 auctions ending on sunday evening now, 8 with bids already and some with lots and lots of watchers. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good sales week with my lots of fresh items.

    Also at the carboot today i picked up a big bundle of clothes for £5 these were for my sister and i, some nice named stuff too :) Although a very nice Monsoon top in the bundle didn't fit sis so i guess this i will have to ebay :p On a plus note should get the £5 back via this one top :D on the not so plus i have now got even more stuff ooopss. Think i'm going to have to start removing two items for every new item i put in to the wardrobe:rotfl:

    Well - my sales that ended on Tuesday night finished strongly (to my surprise) after a slow weekend. Ive now got x28 listed on one account and x 25 listed on the other. Added 12 yesterday - but need to get on it again tonight, as going away for a long weekend a week Friday so this is my last evening for 7 day listings... Ill be doing 10 day listings on the weekend, as I won't be able to post. I know even when Im away Ill be accessing ebay on my mobile!
    Sounds like a good deal Sleepless - I would love to get more into carbooting (buying not selling :) ) but the children are still at that awkward age where I cant look properly with them in tow, and trying to escape on my own is a mission in itself....

    I didn't manage to get anything on in the weekend so I did it yesterday and put it all on for 99p. I'll take what I can get :)

    Also, I'm very impressed. I've bought 9 sleepsuits for £9.19 incl. postage and packaging. In the shops you get a pack of 3 or 4 for about £7. :) Mucho's happy (plus they're from Next and shops like that!)

    HI guys, I struggle with ebay a lot and thought if i joined you it might help me get over my issues with the site at least a little bit! Aesop recommended this thread (thanks Aesop!!)

    I have no free listings because i ended up in hospital in dec and so angry christmas shoppers left me negative feedback and opened cases that had to be resolved by paypal - nothing i could do about it, but bit of a pain now missing out on the listings - have loads of stuff that i list for 99p but wish i could get more for it!

    Anyway winge over - am just going to go and relist some things - bit late now i know but better than 9am i guess :p
