Pernicious I find people seem to bid at the last minute so hopefully this weekend your fortunes will change with the things you listed last week.

I think the little and often approach works best, especially with things you're starting at 99p, doing a few every day/week.

Fingers crossed people are waiting for the last minute with your things finishing this weekend.

With regards to the motivation, think about where the money is going and if it's going off your debts that you'll be one step closer to clearing them and how great that will be.

Thank you Yorkielass this is just what I need! Having a terrible week & feeling pretty pathetic truth be told so I need to get back into the DFW swing of things!

This is true, even if it's only an extra tenner of my overdraft I'll be pleased as it's another step towards being in the black, & staying there this time I hope.

Thank you for the kind words :T

Well I'm currently selling 4/31 items for about £25 pounds so far which is alright! I should be saving this but it's my birthday next week and going out in B'ham for the night haha so hopefully this will go towards that !

28 items listed, 5 watchers and bids for £1.98 ... *sighs* hope this thing starts to move soon!! What do you use for packaging? I have received items in some plastic blue bags that seem really resistant, do you know where to buy them?

Still awaiting for 5 things to be paid for. My bigger items have watchers and have 24 items still on and 18 watchers.... Most things only 99p but it all helps.

You can buy mailing bags on ebay... I tend to take the special delivery bags that the post office give you for free, then turn them inside out Also I sometimes buy rubble sacks from Wilko - they're blue, very thick. I cut them to size depending on the item and then tape them up.

Sold one more item today - only a small one & the buyer hasn't paid yet. I'm up to £96.31 profit now :j

Out of my 28 items, 4 have bids up to £21 in total, all but 2 of the items have at least one watcher and a few things have 7 watchers each but no bids yet, fingers crossed the go crazy on Sunday when the listings end!

I buy mine off Ebay, you can get them in packs all the same size but I tend to buy packs of mixed size bags as then they cover all different kinds of sizes that I need to post.

Just search mailing bags

I had a really good day today. £170 profit which has enabled us to buy a new mattress for our bed (which we have needed for a year and a half) :j

Blimey in the space of 15 minutes I've had to refund for two items. One for £11 plus P&P, the other for £14.50 plus P&P, the last person got my back up by demanding a refund and threatening me with negative feedback and a dispute if I didn't refund straight away. Can you complain about buyers doing this? So annoyed. I e-mailed back saying that I was sorry the item had not arrived and that they didn't need to threaten me with negative feedback an e-mail stating the parcel was not at the sorting office and asking for a refund would have been nicer. F*****

So now I have to claim back for 3 parcels as had to refund another parcel tonight which went missing from 30 December and was sent Recorded. I hope I at least get the 3 items back.
