**Make Me Rich This Year eBay or Else!!**

Well that was my worst week of sales ever! Sold a few items, but had to relist many. I don't think worn size 14 ladies tops do well, even if they are nice labels. The BNWT item did well, though, shame I only had one of those!

I have the usual odd assortment of bits and bobs (not clothes) finishing throughout the week and another batch listed this evening to finish next weekend, so fingers crossed that I catch up a bit there.

Well done everyone - I have a feeling it might be a while now til the next FLW!

I only had one one item finish today the rest end tomorrow, only got 1 bid on an item of £3.99 and that is something I'm selling for my SIL. Not many watchers either on my items.

I was hoping that people would be buying lots before the postage goes up at the end of the month.

Even my Business account is quiet, I wonder if people will stop selling altogether once the prices go up, if I can't sell something with a P&P of £1.72 I'm certainly not going to sell when I have to charge £2.20.

I had a good weekend - 21 items to package up tomorrow.

Most of the sales were OH's old video games that he doesn't want anymore, but I also managed to sell some clothes too (in my experience ladies clothes are hard to sell, so I'm quite pleased). I've batched up the remainder that didn't sell and listed them as a bundle. I think I prefer to do that anyway rather than lots of individual 99p packages. Also did lots of relists with slightly reduced prices to try and entice bids, and added one or two more items that I've found around the house.

I'm starting to get a bit burnt out from ebay. So many FLWs in a row are taking their toll...!

I wonder if people are unsure of postage costs at the moment - maybe some have misunderstood and think they have gone up already.

We are all getting used to higher prices everywhere, I am hoping people will get used to them.

Not sure what the future is going to be, while fuel, food etc continue to rise, will people tighten their belts and avoid Ebay, or will they hunt out Ebay bargains?

I bought a size 14 used womans top during my spending spree yesterday :T

I think its difficult to photograph clothes well..... which is mainly why I don't bother listing clothes (unless branded childrens which always sell well)

I was checking sales of baby clothes and a few other items as had intended to list a load this weekend but didn't bother in the end. It looks like Ebay is getting a bit saturated, probably with all these free listing weekends there have been recently. Plus a lot of people are not sure what their finances will be like for the new financial year. Hopefully when we move into May things may start to pick up. I really hope so as I've got a ton to list and really don't want some of it selling for pittance.

Heh-heh, wouldn't that be funny! Well if it is you, I hope you like it, lol.

I don't think I will bother with clothes again, the nice stuff is now sold and anything else can go to the charity shops.

Alleycat, I think you are right with the saturated listings - they need to do something to encourage the buyers now!

My other items are doing very well, so I think I will catch up over the next couple of days

Hey, just popping on for a very quick catch up/update.

Sorry to hear people didn't get many sales this weekend.

My hard work a couple of weeks ago completly paid off i had to package 49 items yesterday evening. I was planning ahead with the bubble wrap stage and completly lost track working through paypal payments as someone else would pay and i'd lose track of where i was at again it was a bit of a kufuffle, there was bubble wrap everywhere even ended up walking around work for half the day with selotape on my backside haha....i'm sure i didn't put it there it must have attached itself whilst the trousers were hanging on the wardrobe ready for work!

I had about 100 items on (half were relists) and sold 49 a combo of new and old. Needless to say i didn't have time to post yesterday or did i manage to get anything else listed.

Totally chuffed with my sales but not massively insipred to do lost more listings, back to work and my one a day from this week.

Sleepless I think you are allowed not to do too many listings for a little while after that effort!
My sales did well that ended yesterday evening Though not many people have paid immediately so I think I'll be on a packing mission tonight. Determined to work out my April sales total today....got a bit slack with recording it this month. But have kept all emails and receipts so will come up with a total later this afternoon.
