I'm off to a very slow start. Sold two things on ebay but only managed to make £3.86 after deductions. Not too good. Got a few more things on for over the weekend hope they do better!

Can we count tesco R&R as cash saved and therefore see what the cash value of each item is and count this towards the pot

I think these should only count if your selling the item, then any profit you make it could be counted. otherwise you could R&R loads of stuff that you didnt actually want just to sdd it to your total. also its not actually making money just getting free stuff. thats my personal opinion but as we all say im happy to go with the majority

A start is a start nevertheless. Like what my tutor used to say to me, "starting is the hardest thing." Keep your head up and see you at the finish

just wanted to say how much better it is on amazon for listing books. I listed around 15 today and it only takes a couple of minutes per book, no writing all those long listings, the best part is if it doesnt sell I dont have to pay, unlike ebay!! thanks guys for all your advice just hoping some sell now!!

True. its like saying you purchased a BOGOF item, its not really a profit. Ok sounds like my challenge is only going to be based on matched betting, ebay, cashbacks and referals.

I have just listed lots of goodies on ebay (more to come at the weekend) . I forgot to put the link in to the MSE olympic challenge and just went back to revise my items but I don't know how to put the link in white - help please

Still haven't sorted out the problem with the buyer in the states re postage, so can't update my sig

Got the future MIL coming today, wish me luck!

If you sold an R&R item you could count the profits or I suppose if it was something you were REALLY looking to buy then you could count it, but if you just got it because you knew you could R&R it then I dont think it sholud count, but will see what the others think

my challenge is only made up of stuff im selling on ebay and amazon, quidco and pigsback. also im saving loose change for the challenge in my homemade piggy bank and am going to open it during the last week of the challenge (although there probably wont be much in there as I am trying not to keep cash in my purse so I cant waste money on stuff I dont need)
