    Happy Easter for yesterday everyone :)

    Well, I sold an item on gumtree this morning. It's been collected and paid ...£30 for that to add.

    I get paid tomorrow too and my payslip is available online already so I checked and am going to add £146 from that. I've finally got my backdated payrise and so I'm adding the Feb and Mar elements as a bit of a bonus. I've calculated it by deducting the extra tax and extra student loan associated.

    I'm so close to the target now and expecting a few more payments in for mystery shopping so fingers crossed :)

    What does everyone think of 'buy it now'?

    Everytime I put stuff up on free listing days I get loads of watchers on the same things, but no buyers in the end. It's so annoying, so I thought maybe I'd invest in posting them as buy it now in the hope that people buy now and think later, rather than have a week to think do I actually need that?

    It's just annoying that I will end up having to pay 40p per item, when they might not even go! Maybe I'll just list until my fee balance is a tenner and see if I make it back!

    It's nearly the freaking end of the month again, and I've done rubbish! AGAIN. I'm not trying hard enough! :heart2:

    Hi,

    They are the easiest form of mystery shop in the world ... the company will have something posted to me and I just let them know when it arrives and what the condition of the letter was.

    Happy to help

    What type of item is it? Have you checked to see what other items the same have sold for? Doing that should tell you if its worth listing and if so what price and formats have worked for others

    £4.85 from two eBay sales. Also got £4.50 off a sports bra as there was deodorant on it from someone trying it on. It was last in the shop in my size so I thought what the heck, all I need to do is wash it!
