    Luckily I have a lovely post office man. If it is busy I can leave them and he puts them all through.

    Sadly my husband has just come in rather surprised that we own so many lovely and useful items! ( or were his words where did all the c&&& come from? ) My daughter was a bit surprised at the nappy mountain (worried I would say). I got some vouchers they were free- what can I say?

    There are about 200 more waiting to be listed. Just imagine how empty my cupboards will be!

    I take my hat off to you pleasedelete, good luck with hitting your daily target :beer:. Wish i'd known more about ebay a couple of years ago. Would have flogged all my rubbish, i mean precious items :A, for cash instead of binning it :cool:. Oh well, you live and learn :).

    I overcame my fear of ebay for the may challenge, don't know what I was worried about, I asked 1 of my friends for advice as he's a bit of a guru on it, and a couple of questions on here, go for it.

    I have done this challenge before and was naughty in that I started to spend money to save money. I have learnt my lesson now and don't spend hardly anything. Lots of savings already made.

    I do feel that I could still make a bit so I am going to set a target of £2.50 a day for June, is this the smallest target?

    I have a few childrens toys to sell, eggs from my chickens and coupons for shopping that I need to do.

    Well I managed to use all 100 free listings in 2 days. Got to 200 in total.

    Now aiming to list 20 items a day. Away Thursday to Saturday though. Ordered 500 postal sacks which may be a bit optimistic. Got 20 per cent off with a code- lowest price for about 18 months and so not too bad.
