eBay definitely sounds like a plan; I just started selling stuff on there myself (made about a tenner this week, it's a start), and my brother does it for a day job, so it's possible to make money from the place.

You should be able to kill the store cards dead very soon, and free up some money to throw at the big loan.

Get Turbolister to cut down on the pain of listing everything if you dont already have it.

Good luck with your sales.

I agree, turbolister is great for selling lots of fairly similar items. I had a good clearout in the garage a couple of years ago and listed 60 items in about an hour (with photos and full descriptions).

The good thing is that you don't have to go mad and list it all at once. Try and do a couple of items every couple of days, then you will see the money coming in steadily and you won't get swamped with a big pile of stuff to post at once. It gives you a warm feeling to see the money creeping in.

Hi
Welcome to the MSE board, and i'm sure you'll stop going round in circles soon, as you're obviously trying to make positive steps.

Good luck with the ebay sales, once you start selling things you'll get addicted to trying to find more things to sell.

If you haven't already done so, take a look at the ebay & auctions etc forum on
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=40&order=desc

You'll find lots of useful tips and advice, plus if there's anything your unsure over there's lots of helpful posters on there.

goodluck x
