    Just listed a bunch of stuff on Amazon. All at cheapest Marketplace prices and I'll be really happy if the stuff sells at the sort of prices I've been listing at.
    I've never used it before but it's SO EASY and takes a load of pain out of eBaying stuff! Only concern is how long stuff can sit on there? Am I expecting to add anything more to my total this month from it for example or am I likely to be holding on to stuff for a while yet?

    There is a thread on Amazon selling which really helped me learn more about the whole process.

    As a rough guide of thumb, take a look at the sales ranking of an item. If it is the 100s it will sell in a few hours, in the 1000s in a few days, in the 10,000 or 100,000 a few months, and anything over 1 million is likely to be over a year. I have of course had plenty of exceptions to the rule :rotfl:. You do have to keep hold of them til they sell, so space can be an issue, unlike ebay where you get rid of them in a week or so.

    More to add: £5.40 customer charter refunds from london transport received today :D and £15 from Ama$on sale :j
    Mortgage [STRIKE]16/03/2011: £190K 01/01/2017: £107,729.65 [/STRIKE] 01/07/2017: £95,979.89
