  • Whoops, forgot to send update, sorry FDF (I'm sure someone stole Sunday!!)

    Ah well, it were an ok week, emptied the change jar and had a lottery win (bout flippin time, ok so it were only £12 after taking off the purchase price but £12 is better than nowt) Got the last ebay money so total for last week was £116

    Good luck everyone for this week

    I am still waiting for an ebayer to add feedback, so I can draw down money in Paypal (too worried it might need refunding as I couldn't test the item was working as it was electrical)... at least I have paid ebay fees via Paypal this month though - £18 worth, grr. Still what is left is mine which will be nice, fingers crossed the item was ok when he got it.

    £26.21 added to my total from matched betting. I am away next week so can't put anything on ebay/amazon until I get home again, so I don't think my total will increase any more for a couple of weeks.

    Keep up the good work everyone xx

    Hi Hypno - why not schedule listings in advance? For £0.06 a go it means you could be earning whilst you are away... I set mine to go up at 19:00 each Sunday, might be worth doing?

    But that means putting my ebay head back on, and I have just put it away and got my holiday head out instead.....

    ARGH!! I'm just about ready to tear my hair out! TEN auctions finishing today and NOT ONE sold..... I could cry, I really could.

    I've decided that I'm going to include the spare money from our Council Tax (once the council have got back to us about our CTB) since we're almost finished paying arrears and our payments will go down.

    And you never know, once himself starts getting money from his new job then maybe he'll stop spending mine, and I'll be able to start saving.

    Ah, very true - you are one of those people that intend to relax and enjoy yourself on holiday rather than worry eh! :D

    He he - will be my turn end of April, off on a secret trip I have planned for Mr EL - can't wait ;)

    Started a £5.09 transfer from Ciao today (whhooo-ooooo), I am led to believe they pay on 15th or so of the month, so I will add it now to the kitty from my own money they 'repay' myself when it comes in :p

    Now through the £1400 barrier with book sales and ebay - hurray!!!!

    I try not to look too closely at how much I have made on individual items through ebay as after fees, fees, paypal fees and postage some items make less than 40p!

    Another £4.91 for me today into savings... hopefully £130ish coming down from Paypal early next week. Will include in sig when it arrrives. Had an ebayer (newbie) leave me feedbakc that just stated 'ok' really annoyed as I know the transaction was very good, he just doesn't know how feedback should work. grr.
