Joy of Ebay!

I have the odd rant about penny pinching ebay and paypal..

But I came home from work and the 20 or so things I listed have virtually all turned green as bids have been placed!! Oh the joy!!!

I love that when you log in and there is a sea of green...

Too much red makes me nervous :eek:

Big thanks to whoever mentioned about getting tesco vouchers and selling them on ebay.

I signed up to the Tesco clothing newsletter thing via pigsback (as suggested by someone on the forum), got sent £26 worth of vouchers. Listed them for .99p last week, much to the derision from my OH, and they just sold for £6.01! There seems to be a market for Tesco vouchers and loyalty points. Are people crazy Tescos, or is there a black market that i don't know about?

I was chuffed when I listed a load of stuff last week, an item got a 99p bid straight away!! That was it though!! Nothing else...no further bids!!! not chuffed anymore!!

The trick with these clothing vouchers is that they can go all go through in one transaction (if you are lucky!) so you could save £25 on £50 worth of shopping (or something like that!) :rolleyes:

I haven't used mine yet - might have to give them a try on eBay myself.

I didnt ever got my vouchers after signing up to the Clothing newsletter.:mad:

Oh my you are so lucky. I keep looking at mine and there's still a sea of red - not even a watcher! My ebay career is over I fear,sob

I got tesco vouchers but only ones with £4 off with £40 spent. I saw some £26 bid up to 7.50 before though!

Especially when you have 10/20 listings so those greens can increase literally every hour.

Plus the nature of auctions on ebay means your prices rocket exponentially nearer the end. Im at about 40 quid for the 20 or so listings with 8 days to go... in a few days it should be near a hundred and on the last day fingers crossed two hundred.

:shocked: Ooh stoppit, I'll be lucky if I get two quid!
