    I've just found our old GAME rewards card, I knew there were some points on there from a Wii package we brought last year so had a look and there was £13.90 worth of points and they allow you to exchange them into gift cards!

    So with free delivery I have a £10 gift card winging its way to me that I'll either sell or save for someones birthday!

    I've had a £83.79 council tax rebate, and after sorting out my bank accounts, had £6.45 left in a redundant account. Adding this to my total I'm now on 107.74. I've got quidco and topcashback waiting to be paid.

    Thanks to the lovely MSE members on this thread, I've just realised its free listing on ebay this weekend. So I now know what im doing all tomorrow :)

    I forgot to ask if I can join please. Have been lurking from the beginning forgot to join. My balance at the moment is still £0 but am abut to sell my phone to a friend for £250 next week have money in quidco and Topcashback and getting close to my first payouts on surveys. Have put some stuff on Ebay today up to £7.96 but a lot more will be going on tomorrow. Have sorted out some DVDs and Books for Zapper worth about £16. Also I have (silly I know) never felt I was entitled to child benefit for my 20 month old so never claimed it and have decided to I should get 3 months backpaid and decided to pay this in every month as if it was not for you guys I would never have claimed this. Also put some baby clothes on a baby forum and some horse thing on a horse forum hope some sell as saves me ebay fees :) I am quite lucky with ebay as I dont pay the postage on my items as I can put these through the company so only have fees to deduct :) I have NEVER had savings in my life and am so excited to see a figure other than the £.53 I have in there!!

    Hi Clipperty - just wanted to ask (and anyone else in the know), do you feel baby items would sell better on specific parenting sites rather than eBay? So far I've sold the big items to a colleague but I'm now sorting the items my baby has outgrown.
    This reminds me, when I first started selling I had to upgrade my PayPal account to a business one as I had a few buyers wanting to pay by credit card, typically since then I've never had it again and am wasting money being charged the extra fees. I must downgrade back to a normal account.

    Just sorted through an old bookshelf and found some Tesco vouchers still in date. I won't count them as they were earned from last year, but still a bonus as there's a lot more there than I thought.

    Have you considered selling on gumtree claire? I know there are quite a lot of baby items sold on my area and you don't have listing fees or paypal fees to worry about.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
