    I wait to get 849 SBs, then cash out for a £5 Amazon voucher. Set a new goal for myself to get a minimum of 121 SBs per day, which will get me a £5 voucher every week.

    The 20 point task is one that I always do, it doesn't take long. Most of the other tasks are not worth doing as they take too long for only a few SBs. At least, IMHO :)

    How on earth do you manage 121 SBs per day? I'm obviously doing it wrong!

    just checked and discovered you can only trade in text books :( I then thought about selling them instead but they would only 1p listings :( Will have to find an alternative.

    Hi

    Well T*sco just gave me my £7.50 back and sent the paper copy of my points (£23).
    I've also had an eb*y sale which was £5.96 after PEP, found 5p roadkill and have banked £10 of 20ps.

    So new total is £60.85. I've some eb*y sales ending tomorrow, three of which are selling - yes, I know, 99p - but fingers crossed some will manage a little more.

    It's funny how nothing happens for ages and then you have a really good couple of days when it all comes in (this doesn't happen to me very often!).

    Hope everybody's having a good week.
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

    This is probably a silly question but here goes!

    If I do ebay listings and schedule them as far in advance as possible with the hope of a free liisting weekend and one doesn't come up, could I go back in a re-schedule again without paying the 6p fee?

    I really want to get some stuff ready for a free listing weekend but as I work weekends I would really need the listing to be as fast as possible otherwise I'm never going to get stuff on there :o

    With paper backs, if you have a few that can be bundled together then it is worth trying them on Ebay.

    When I was selling most of mine over the summer, I did them in 4s or 5s, depending on weight, (so as not to go over 1kg for Second Class!) and did fairly well for some of them, as the postage was cheaper than it would have cost had someone bought them on Amazon and had to pay individual postage for each one.
    I was selling mine over the summer, and a lot of my books were girly romance type books, which were ideal summer holidays reading, so this may have helped too, but it's worth a try as if you list them for 1p on Amazon you end up making a loss on them (I think!! I'm sure I worked it out before but can't remember their fees etc off the top of my head now.)

    Obviously you just need to use common sense as to which to put together so that they are all books that the same person would want to read.
