I only ever lend in batches of £10. I have to say it is a personal choice that anyone using Zopa has to make for themselves - i am more than happy to explain how to use the site and let you know what i am doing myself but ultimately you need to decide what risk you are willing to take and what level of interest you want to accept. I can't guarantee anything obviously! :eek: Its a bit scary getting asked for advice about what risk to take :eek:Jan £10 a day £326.75/£3100

Another £4.79 to add from ebay. Im just scrapping through on target at the moment. Need to up my game though because I am away for the last week of august and I want to achieve this before I go!
I have sold my first item on amazon aswell. I was dead excited. Only listed it last night!! But I will wait till the money is in my account to count that!
Waiting for a few vouchers to turn up in the post as well. So fingers crossed when I get home on Friday night they are there!!Make £5 a day in May £51.05/£1550 -

£5 from covering additional work for an absent colleague today.
For all potential zopa~ites, I also list on all markets and only offer £10 per listing, I guess I figure that if someone defaults somewhere down the line I can just about live with that loss. A saying that I live my life by is 'never lend what you can't afford to lose' and that fits in pretty well with my zopa lending. Like fairy says it is very much down to the individuals attitude to risk :cool:

Well I have just transferred £50 to Zopa, sticking to my original plan when setting up the offers. The 'more info' tab on the offer page was really helpful in deciding what rate to offer, so I'm happy with it now, just got to wait for the money to transfer over.
I have £2.01 to add today. I ordered some gift vouchers (Love 2 Shop) with Park, you pay the cost of the vouchers over the year (or 6 months in my case!), and they let you keep a commission, so I paid £198 for £200 worth of vouchers :T
I'm very pleased with them as not only have a saved a couple of quid by doing it and made funding Xmas a bit easier, they also sent out a ton of other offers and coupons to use when you spend the vouchers - they are all worth at least £5 and are all in shops that I would use anyway, like Boots :T Will definitely be doing this next year.
Oh yeah, and the extra penny is SS till roadkill0 -

Well done lolly ~ that's the bit I find the hardest, waiting for the money to transfer and be applied to the lending offers I've made ~ I want it to happen instantly and of course it doesn't

Definitely, I'm really excited to get started so it's a pain having to wait! How long does it usually take to loan the money out, once it's been transferred in? I've gone for mid range rates in most categories.0
