  • Well done everyone. Everything went and I felt a bit lost having no items to sell, but have now listed another 19 items (6 were relists to be honest) but really need to get off ebay as kids feel like they are being neglected!!! Here's to next weekend (I am determined to not check it a million times a day, but I probably won't be able to resist). Have fun. x

    That's all my items paid for that I listed last week so after p&p and fees my total so far is £101 - pleased with that as I thought I would get around £100 so I wasn't far out!

    Going to list more towards the end of this week so that they end over the weekend, probably next Sunday

    I will update in a couple of hours when all the items are either sold or unsold lol. So far, I have bids on items I never thought would sell and I have no bids on items I was sure they would. Go and learn! £15 so far before p&p and fees. I hope to be able to report more than that in a bit! :D Anyway, £15 in my pocket is waaaay better than 10 unused items in the bottom of the wardrobe, so I am a happy bunny. :D

    Hey, just updating, ended up selling a few more items with watchers, one is brand new, going for more than I paid for it, with over an hour to go....fingers crossed!
    And, more excitingly, I've just checked my old phone on ebay, with a broken screen- they are going for approx £50-£60!!!! So chuffed as its been lying in my bag for weeks now, was about to chuck it in the bin when I thought to check, glad I did now!!! Roll on next free listing weekend so I can list for free

    Another 9 items sold tonight... bit disappointing that half my items weren't bid on, but pleased with the ones that I have sold :) Especially as some items sold for more that what I paid in the first place!

    Also have someone coming tomorrow to view a piece of furniture I'm selling, so that's good.

    Now all I need is for everyone to pay before I go to the post office tomorrow, to save me having to do 3/4 runs like I usually end up doing.

    I had 11 earlier and I've wrapped 7, will go to post those after I've taken the kids to school in the morning and then will come back and wrap the rest while OH is here to watch DD3. DD3 has Playgroup tomorrow from 12.15 until 2.45 so if I haven't been to the Post Office before she goes I'll go when I've taken her and then maybe come back for a bit of a rest, then again, maybe not, I'll probably list more stuff on my Business account am doing really well on that at the moment.

    I've got some auctions finishing in about 10 minutes with some bids on.

    Hopefully they will have another free listing weekend next weekend as they were doing them every two weeks in the 2 or 3 months before Xmas.

    I've just sold 5 thing on Ebay, so I'm really happy. They aren't worth the greatest amount, but it's just that bits less clutter (and trust me, there's a lot of that!)

    Logged in this morning and have sold another item at £14 BIN - got the item for free so thats another £14 profit in the bag :D

    Managed to get another 10 items listed over the weekend. Got a few more things that I'm going to try and list this evening then will probably wait till those auctions end before I do anymore. That will give me a chance to go through stuff at home and put together a small pile of things to list next.

    Other auctions are sitting at around £45 worth of sales with 1d 11h to go so am still keeping my fingers crossed there will be a rush towards the end of the auctions as each thing has got quite a good amount of watchers on them.
