    Hi lookingtonthe future. I think the free listings excludes turbo lister? I use turbolister and so only use the free days for relists.

    I hAve set up 100 blank 99p listings in turbo lister to keep me on track. Aim is 20 listings a day with 100 free across the month.

    I used my Coop dividends today. Total of £8.94. I also received £1.36 from an Amazon sell quite a long time ago. That take me upto £10.10.

    I put an old toy on Ebay, I have used ebay to buy but never been able to sell anything. I have already had an enquiry about it so if this goes well I will try some more things.

    1st June? Seriously? :eek:

    8 sleeps till my holiday :dance:

    Free listing no good for me this weekend cos it's a bit close to my holiday, boo hiss. Although I would rather go away then list on ebay of course :D

    Must get my act together though and concentrate on making money when I get back off hol as we're going to need to save up for Lapland spends for December and also DH is taking me away for 2 nights over New Year so need some pennies for that too :cool:

    :hello: and welcome :)

    ok, you need to update your signature with the challenge, USER CP at the top of this page, is where you update your signature.

    Then have a look at the first post on the first page, and see if any of those ideas will help you generate your £5 a day.

    If you are not already signed upto survey companies, have a look at a few. I can recommend Valued Opinions and Vistalive, they are the best payers and you can earn money quite quickly.

    If you post here when you do make your money, it may help motivate you more, not everyone posts everytime they make money, but we do encourage you to post at the end of the month, how much you have made. And obviously if you hit your target before the end of the month, please let us know.

    Thanks Pleasedelete! I didn't realise that Turbolister would still be charged. Thank you for your help!:beer: And so I have separated the boxes from the shed into '99p listings' and 'things that I want a bit more for'. So the 99p listings I'll list later and the rest I'll do Saturday and Sunday evening.

    In other news three more sales from ebay this afternoon! So another £33 to add to the holiday fund. :T

    Lookingtothefuture. I have done a listing for a 99p start in turbolister. I have put in loads of blurb about my other auctions and 99p. Before i added item details or photos I gave duplicated it and made 100 copies. That way I can work through them during the month. I am aiming to do at least 300 listings in total..

    If you realist directly from unsold items in ebay then even though they were turbo listed the 1st time they qualify for free listings.

    I am finding that the 99p listings seem to be drawing people into some of the fixed price stuff that have on 30 day listings.
