It feels like mini challenge time........

We always seem to get a good wee boost of motivation with our mini challenges don't we? As several of us are finding it difficult to get the ebay mojo out i thought we could try a mini ebay challenge for this week! What do you think?

The challenge is a simple one - set yourself a target for the number of items you want to get listed on ebay by the end of the week (ie Sunday) and lets all get our ebay mojos working for us again

My personal challenge is to get 200 items listed this week :eek::eek: Its not as difficult as it may seem as i do have several multi item listing items but it will certainly stretch me to do it all the same! :rotfl:

Ahhhhhhh my face looks like my avatar pic already LMAO!

Ooooh me me me :j:rotfl:

I already have some scheduled but need to check all details of items I am selling and sort out the detail a little bit more, have a big pile of stuff to iron, photo and then list too. Wont be doing mine til Sunday though, not enough time this week after work, mum is here, its nieces birthday and then on Saturday off to meet friends so Sunday is my Ebay listing day.

Good luck Fairy, thats a fair old target you have set yourself there. You can do it :T:j

Who else is on board for the challenge? Lets all motivate each other into doing it. You dont have to aim for big numbers, just getting 5 listed is a major achievement as we all seem to have a love hate relationship with e*ay. Love the cash it brings, hate every other part of it :rotfl::rotfl:

Hi,

Hope you don't mind if I jump in. I've been lurking for a little bit and I think I have a vague idea how to do this (I hope ). I like the idea of calling things 'positive steps' instead of 'things to do', it makes me want to do them as a way of moving forward in life, not just because they need doing. I've only got 7 things today, I'm afraid. Then again, 7 is the most magical number. (Potterhead here, sorry, couldn't resist. :rotfl:) So here they are.

Today I aim to:

Shower. Done.
Wash pots. Done.
Wash bedding. Done.
Drop off catalogues confirming when I'll deliver orders (I'm a Betterware distributor). Done.
Drop off at least 50 normal catalogues.
Drop off application form at Morrisons (Betterware doesn't exactly pay all the bills).
Look through contents page of one Uni textbook and pick a chapter to read. Done.

I'll check back later with what I've done.

Me again :hello:,

I seem to have skipped yesterday but never mind. So two days ago I managed 5 smilies. :D:D:D:D (Hope TM6 doesn't mind me nicking their phrase there. )

Today I aim to:

Drop off at least 50 catalogues.
Post 2 Ebay parcels.
Bag up orders for drop offs.
List pink boots on Ebay.

Only a small list but I've missed a lot of the day already. I'm loving the idea of the Ebay challenge, especially as I'm moving house soon so I've got loads of junk to get rid off. So, my aim is to list 50 items on Ebay before Sun. :eek:
