    Thick mailing bags (plastic ones) are good for posting clothing items.

    You can use the same you got from Argos as long as it is sturdy enough. Remove all the labels and make it inside out.....;)

    I do recycle packaging material to keep the packaging costs low.:) ( and eco friendly too ;))

    I was thinking that!!:)
    Just needed some reassurance:rotfl:
    I would have negative feedback:eek:

    hope you mind me joining you. ive been an ebay seller for a while, but had been using the money for treats, 2013 see' a new me and a pledge to reduce my debt... so i have had a clearout have 13 listings on at the moment, including things my baby girl has outgrown, and am committed to adding more.

    Bit fed up tho as currently have THREE unpaid item cases open. All small amounts, but still frustrating... Got 4 listings closing today including a graco baby swing which has 4 watchers.. fingers and toes crossed....

    swing sold for £14... had hoped for more oh well...

    One item closes any minute and has bids... not sure what posessed me to be listing things at this time of night/mornign 5 days ago, other than with a 14wk old baby you tend to grab 5 minutes wherever they appear lol

    Other two items didnt sell, have reduced prices and relisted, and found several more items to add. Put two more listings on, will add more tomorrow.

  • Hi Haybel19 - you may find it handy to schedule things to save items listings ending the middle of the night. To avoid scheduling costs just go in and edit the item and make it live before it is due to schedule.... A lot of us do this and edit them during a Free Listing Weekend so we dont need to spend the whole time listing!
  • Hi Haybel19

    Are you registered with Netmums? It is great to find things going on in your local area. They have a selling page as well where you can list for free in your local area. I have some items I am going to list on my local one. Then you can put the price you want for items and people will e-mail you via the website if they are interested and there are no fees.
