New Challenge - Double Your Money!

fairyclicks

I finally did it - i listed the 2 original clothes items i bought for the challenge and never got round to adding to ebay (though i think there was actually 3 i have no idea what the other thing was lol!)

Now all i need is biddddddderrrrrrrs

Am also working hard on listing my 100 items - I have got the majority of them scheduled so i just need to edit them to add details and list - am hoping this will make it easier for me to do!

Mind you am still having to take a break from the site every 10 mins or so :rotfl::rotfl:

Good Luck today everyone xxx

Morning all

The nice sunny weather yesterday certain brought the carbooters out, there was plenty of cars to go at.

Alas i didnt have much success buying
I did manage to bag a few bits, but nothing special.
How did everyone else do yesterday?

The nice weather did give me chance to get out in the garden and sort out 2 sheds, plenty of stuff sorted out to take to a carboot sale this week, and some bits that will sell better on Ebay

for those of you who have business accounts on ebay i have a few questions, if you dont mind

Did you start your account from scratch or just switch a personal account over to business?

Do you have a separate paypal account for business only?

I wondering if i should just switch my personal account to business once im ready and then open another account for personal use on ebay, do you have the same restrictions on a new business account that you do on personal?

The paypal thing, i have two paypal accounts, 1 has been used the other is linked to an email address i no longer have access to, and i cant remember the password i had this paypal account for around 7 years and have never used it.

I upgraded my personal to a business- figured I needed the feedback number!

Do you have a separate paypal account for business only?

I also converted my paypal to business account- I think if I sell any of my own second hand stuff Ill get the payments going to OHs paypal account just in case fees are different.

I wondering if i should just switch my personal account to business once im ready and then open another account for personal use on ebay, do you have the same restrictions on a new business account that you do on personal?

I would think so- people may have issue with trust if your feedback is very low- I've opened another eBay account and Im trying to build feedback up on this.

The paypal thing, i have two paypal accounts, 1 has been used the other is linked to an email address i no longer have access to, and i cant remember the password i had this paypal account for around 7 years and have never used it.

Hope that helps a bit ^


Well my March was quite successful- still not where I need to be though but at least Im getting there! Sales for Feb were 69 but since reinvesting every penny for most of March- my March sales quantity was 143 so well on the way to my 250 target! However, sales have been slow over the weekend- I need to average 8-9 a day to meet target and only got 6 sales all weekend OH is getting fed up with his job so it would be amazing to make enough work to pay the both of us! Would need about 750 sales a month though

Still haven't collected this baby bundle as the seller never got back to me on the day I wanted to collect but hoping to get that today and make a start on photographs etc.

So Im now on:
143/250
and still £0/£22

Morning everyone. I want to make my first non work day count so am going to list all the clothes I have in a bootsale bag on eBay with the 99p starting bid. My OH yesterday picked up a huge job lot of stuff that needs sorting - one box of which is full of porcelain dolls. I'll investigate what price I can sell those on at. No clothes in this job lot so will need to source some to sell on.

Fairyclicks I don't seem to be getting 30 superpoints a day - am I doing something wrong? So far for a week I've got 99 and yesterday I got just 1 point. Not sure who I could refer to gain extra points. Any advice? Also not sure what to do with Donkey emails - I remember you said that was your biggest earner?

Off into the sun now for a spot of gardening. Have great days.:D

After my last post i decide to investigate my old unused ebay and paypal accounts, its taken about an hour but ive managed to reinstate both accounts and update email and personal details on both, so now have two active accounts to play about with

That feel like a big step forward, i wanted to separate business from personal, but didnt really want the hassle of brand new accounts

Told the OH of my plans to start up a business over the weekend, i thought he might be a little against the idea of me "not looking for a proper job" but he said he thinks its a great idea, and i should go for it!! it was refreshing to have some support and not have to try and talk him round to my way of thinking

Thanks Natterjack for the input

Katrss, Good luck with the dolls, its a coincidence that you have them, i have a wheelie bin full of them at the moment. I had to throw around 30 away from out the shed, they had gone mouldy ...I find these sold better on carboots than on ebay personally.

Re superpoints are you getting 30 clicks on the superlucky button ok? if not you need to complete the basic profile. There seems to be a difference in how many points you get at different times of day as well - might be worth changing that! Also are you getting emails with points in them? They are worth clicking on as i seem to get more points in them if i claim the points on these regularly.

About referrals - have you added your link to the referral thread on here? I also got some referrals from facebook and friends - even if people don't use it regularly it will give you the upgrade which makes it easier to get points and cashout level goes down.

Donkeymails is a PTC site that i have stuck with for quite a while - its not one of my biggest earners though and i don't do anything but click on the emails from them - superpoints and swagbucks would be my main sites. I'll see if i can put together a list of other sites that are worth checking out but earning online can be time consuming - many don't reach cash out level for months - just something to bear in mind about them!

Well I finally collected my bundle! The description was totally inaccurate but I can't be bothered with the hassle and Im hoping I can still make double my money on it! Its a girls bundle and I have a little boy so not really sure what sells but a lot of pretty stuff in there!

Its good your OH is supportive spider- mine is being a nightmare at the mo regarding my eBay!

Back down to 140/250 on my buy to sell after my carp couple of days- going to get some new stock listed today- its not going to sell if its not on there!

My bundle is generating interest- no sales as of yet but I think people are waiting until I've added more, so will get the rest on this morning!

Yeehaaaa i have a bid of £1.99 on one of the £1 clothes items i listed on ebay the other day a few other watchers too so will be interesting to see if there is any other bids placed!

I have bids on about 6 things at the minute and some generating a nice bit of interest so with any luck this week's ebaying will give me another wee boost for the old zopa account too.

Oh just checked Zopa and i now have £600.53 in there so i made it over the £600 mark with the interest after all - well pleased
