    Thanks for joining twiglet66 will pop you down for 2 bags a week { don't forget x1 big bag equals x2 carrier bags } for bulky stuff :o
    Yes I have found my daughters toys do take a bit longer to list etc, I am currently getting them all together so I can have a week of them all ending at the same time { easier to workout payout too } aswell as space saving in one go !!

    Today I am currently getting all fancy dress & shoes together that don't fit dd anymore - Uncertain if I am going to do one listing with it all on or individually, will see when taking pics !!

  • This sounds like a great challenge for me, love the idea of the carrier bag - breaking it all up into manageable chunks. I sell a lot of stuff on ebay but sometimes my brain can't cope with the sheer amount of stuff we have and I just stop and list nothing!!! so sign me up please alionaear for 3 bags a week

    Off to fill the 1st carrier
  • Great idea :T could I sign up for 2 bags a week please? I'll get up in the loft over the weekend and get started. Does anyone know when the next free listings day is? Any extra pennies I earn will come straight off the mortgage:money:

    OOhh that means I should hit my target. I have two huge overflowing bags to look through (got a bit carried away in the loft today) and sort into Ebay/Junk-Recycle/Charity then get listing around 8pm, see what I can get on, then the rest will be split over Sat and Sun night

    Think I might list a few in bundles, got lots of wee nick knacks and baby clothes

    I think it should equate to 3 bags easily.......

    Well done to everyone thats joined in and to those that are on track :T

    4 of my listed items ended today so another £11.89 added to my eBay money pot :-)

    Got another 6 or 7 ending tomorrow, so will update then :-)

    Think I will keep a running total of money I've made in eBay. We use the money to buy things DH needs for his guitar repairing business, so I don't keep the money, but it pays for things we need :-)
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...

    Could I just sound a quick note of caution here? Ebay sometimes ask sellers to re-register their accounts as business sellers. If they do then you won't be allowed to continue selling until you do. The main advantage of being a business seller on Ebay is lower fees however you are NOT allowed to use the free listings days facility.

    The one thing that seems to trigger this demand from Ebay more than anything else is selling loads of clothes starting at 99p especially if you sell different sizes. So it may be a good idea to not hit the 100 free items entirely in the clothes market every month.

    Good luck with your challenge.
