A Bag A Day *Star *EBAY **Challenge 2012**

Keys - fingers crossed for you

I've listed a bag - go me
I've given up on waiting for free weekend listing as it just means the carp is laying around for longer so I've listed today and added fees to my starting price - naughty I know but if someone wants it they'll pay for it lol

I found loads in a bag in the garage - I thought there was only a couple of bits but I just kept pulling more out, all bits have been photo'd just need to put them on there now, going to do a couple of bits each day

skintmum2012 I have managed to get a cancellation for Monday afternoon as my next test was booked for in a few weeks time - so my nerves have started again with worry !! I have a car and been driving for quite some time now however its getting annoying now as all the people who used to drive about with me who have full licenses have this year purchased there own cars - so its well annoying having my car sat there and walking to school in the snow rain etc , so Im desperate to pass now , plus its not cheap paying for tests at £70 a throw

That's Fantastic well done you Now just think about anything other then the test keep yourself busy. I went to a music gig the weekend of my test my test was monday. How about Kalms Rescue remady. How about thinking of it as just driving someone home and they are telling you the way no diffrent don't think of it as a test at all.

Can't believe the cheek of some people on ebay! I sold an item a few days ago. The buyer only paid 3 days later and then sent me a message saying please dispatch asap and preferably recorded, it only costs a pence more than 1st class!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I felt I had no option but to send it recorded, otherwise, it would have likely "gone missing" in the post and I would have to deal with the claim and do a full refund. Cost me £0.53 extra not even counting the packaging cost!!!

I know it's only £0.53 but still very very annoyed

I hear you with the annoying buyers alionaear.
My napkin rings finished this afternoon and made £77 . Very happy! I had a message from someone at the end who had tried to bid but was unable to. S/he messaged me within the first few hours of the auction going live so it's tough really. I unblocked overseas bidders but s/he must have been blocked for another reason. Funnily enough, s/he chooses to keep their feedback private. I'm always a little suspicious of people who do this, what have you got to hide?
I'm up to £119.17 worth of sales. I will let you know the final figures when I've been paid for everything and have posted it all and worked out my fees! Lots of clutter gone though.

I did list a fair amount of stuff and lots of it went unsold so I will wait for another free listing weekend and stick it back on. I might just list some of it for 99p start price though, just to get rid of it.

Good luck with your driving test keys

I'm still here! Big drum roll please ..... I've listed an item on ebay with no-one twisting my arm behind my back! Going to try really hard to do 2 a day. Will do another one tonight.

Kaz if you go to your account tab, Buyers Requirements & then buyer requirement activity log, you can see how many people have tried bidding & the reason they were blocked. It doesn't give their full ID but does say what their feedback score is, so see which buyer it was.

Hello, I have been lurking around this thread for a couple of weeks and it has prompted me to get my act together and start listing again. I have now decided to be brave and ask to join in please?
I desperately need to cut our clutter and make some extra cash, so I'm hoping this will inspire me!

Just listed my second item of the day so am happy with that. They'll finish on a Sunday at 8.45 (after Dancing on Ice;)) so hopefully I'll get some interest. Every little helps!

Out of curiosity, when do people choose for the auctions to finish? Just so many days after the time they list them, or do you list them so they'll finish at a certain time or day?
I'm really pleased as i've gotten my 1000th feedback today and a nice red star to go with and over the years have never found a particularly good time or day. Just seems so hit and miss

Hi everyone just thought of another tip I found can't even remember where lol but if you put things on on the Thursday and put them on for 11 days then they have 2 whole weekends.
