    Hi Everyone,
    Have also put 5 items of clothing on Ebay and will try and list another 5 tomorrow. Does anyone know if there is a limit as a private seller? I have listed 11 items so far but they are all old either dvds or clothes.

    I think you can have 99 or 100 a month. It's defo one of them but can't remember which!!

    Came on for a woo hoo as just got above cashing in on slxxx the pxx. Not doing it yet as i want to build it a little more.

    I'm not going to open a bank account for my bits but have found my old cash tin - i need to have some access this month at least whilst i get the budget back on the straight and narrow.
    Don’t put it down - put it away!

    Tibawo - well done hun make sure you seal it up later. ;)

    Hollie - thanks for that. DD's comp upstairs is working fine, so it must be mine. :(

    Joe - what a great start for next year. Don't forget to tell us about all the bargains. ;)

    Boat girl - yes it's 100 items. Well done on getting them listed.

    Ginger - sorry to hear about your problems. I can send you the spreadsheet if you pm me your email address - it has a presents list to keep track of them too.

    Aspella - Updated the first post. It now says about referrals. :)

    A friend of mine has told me about an online site called clickworker where you write reviews for companies like Groupon and do some work researching websites (paid in euros). I haven't yet got into it fully. Has anyone heard of it? Take a look and if you want me to refer you send me your email address. Hope this is ok elysia
  • Evening all :)

    I've become a bit of a lurker on this thread. It's one of the best on here for motivation!! You all have so many brilliant thrifty ideas for me to think about my brain hurts :rotfl:

    Would anyone like to refer me to valued opinions please? I need to start doing instead of just thinking about this stuff!! Need to make some extra cash this year, need to start somewhere :j

    That's fine Annie - also on Viva(tic) if you can apply for writing jobs if you pass the writing test (it's only posted occasionally) you can earn £6 for doing short articles to be published in magazines. I don't recommend it as I did it once, and although it was all my own work, they said I'd plagerised (sp) it. :( To get out of paying me.

    OOh that's not good, I will tread carefully, I passed the English writing one and the photo one, checked a few times but no jobs yet, we shall see but could be quite lucrative it any come up

    Evening all, when you ask for a product to be added on c do you have to pre write the review for them or something just as I saw a couple of you were saying they had added all your suggestions together and it meant you weren't getting many rates? I have just gone through dy and c and have 38 reviews to go from c to dy and 58 to go from dy to c so would have a great month if they did the same as last year and just put it at 50p per review!

  • Emma - You don't HAVE to, but some people do write it there and then so that when it is accepted their reviews will be the first one posted and get double ratings for it

    I've just logged on to viva for the first time in a week or 2, and there is only the new vista survey showing, what happened to the others? Have I missed something?

    Thanks for that, totally forgot you get double for being the first review now it makes sense!! Think I will start adding things on slowly as I want to have a stock of reviews when there is a good promo on x
