    £44.91 to add for a quidco payment received this morning.

    I've got 9 items finishing on ebay this weekend and another 2 the middle of next week. Expecting a nice amount back from that but a few items probably won't sell - but we'll see :)
    Still lots of time to get cash in!!

    £3 from mysurvey today. Didnt get paid for my students today so looking forward to a whopping money earning weekend :D

    Thanks for the help guys but it looks like ebay's not the problem-theres a masive red banner on my paypal account saying that they wont be accepting payment from 'customers' to protect them. Hmm....think I will use the OH's and not tell him :D:D:D

    Another £3 from the lovelies at Pinecone on the doormat today.

    Also, realised earlier when I was updating my sig that I've reached my target, as I'd forgotten to add my overtime money when I posted about it. So will keep going anyway, increasing my target to £15 a day, so £450.
    Also will be working hard at my Ebay challenge over the Free Listing Weekend, and also my little target to earn £250 on Ebay/Bootfair from the things I am clearing out of my parents house this weekend. (Won't be selling it all this weekend, but sorting it all out and boxing it up etc to sell in the next few weeks). Think I will try as much as poss on Ebay, then anything that doesn't sell can go to a Bootfair in 2-3 weeks time, weather permitting of course!!

    Right, im joining in with the ebay challenge! Super busy over the weekend but will list 10 items, I'll make them high value ones but Paypal will keep any payments in holding for 21 ruddy days! Oh well, July will be a super month! :D

    EDIT; Did I read somewhere Misskaytee that we have to list a 'silly' item that we would of normally thrown out? I have a M&S vase that has a massive crack and huge chip on it...but I cant bear to throw it out! Ebay?!

    No...but thats a really good spin on the challenge, maybe we could throw that clause in next time :rotfl:

    This challenge was to list at least 20 new listings, so not including relists :D

    Not doing as well has id hoped, ive got 15 listings lined up so far... must try harder :o

    why don't you set up a new challenge thread for the ebay listings on free listing days?

    it would be good for a laugh and a challenge and motivate people to declutter.

    I have taken photos, just not had a chance ( [STRIKE]can't be bothered[/STRIKE]) to write descriptions and put on ebay.

    There is already a couple of threads of Ebay challenges, which I think have some mini challenges like that. Might be worth having a nose around!

    to be honest, I have never really looked at the ebay threads on here. I went off ebay after I first had my son, and used to sell stuff on ebay and make a good profit, then everyone started selling and my stuff didn't sell... so went off it for a long time.

    Thanks for the info though, worth looking for them.

    Hugs for Aesop :grouphug: you dont sound your cheery self in you last few post ~ Hope your Ok :D

    Well the Mini challenge was born out of the Urrrggghhh feeling we sometimes get when its free listing AGAIN!!, Especially later in the month when motivation starts fade a little, it was only meant as a little boost :A
