New Challenge - Double Your Money!

fairyclicks

Well i managed to list 7 items on ebay today - not a huge amount but a start at least towards my new double money challenge - I am still hoping for some more sales on earlier challenge items too but will count them separately i think

Sorry for my ignorance - what is a Zopa account?

Thats ok Zopa is a peer lending service run by egg. Basically you pay money into the account and then lend it out to people and charge interest. The interest then gets added to your account making you some extra money. I have had mine for several years and average about 7% interest on my money. I started with £20 in the account and i have added extra money as and when i can - i have also withdrawn money a few times too - you can see in my signature I am adding up the interest that i have received so far in 2012 - much better than a savings account interest at the minute

Just made my first payment into Zopa for this challenge - I had £30 I was able to move from my paypal account which was from earlier ebay sales won't show up in my account for a few days so will add it once it goes in and shows on my zopa balance!

Whew!! 28 items listed on fleabay and some ending today so fingers crossed for more zopa funds

I'm off to a good start with £27.46 won from the bingo - funds put in by a referral. Craft fair tomorrow night - not sure if I've got enough stuff but really excited about it.

Well i have been ebaying away with sales coming in here and there - I have transferred £50.16 out into my bank account already and have another payment on its way.

I'm still waiting for the £30 payment into zopa to hit my account which should be tomorrow hopefully. In the meantime I have had a little bit of interest added to the account and made another couple of lending offers.

My account is sitting at £511.65 so am counting that as £11.65/£500 for the amount i want to reach just for handiness

No more sales on the first books i bought as yet - i think i will opt for trading them in now as i have given them a few weeks to sell with no interest - time to get my money back on them now i think

I still have 2 of the original clothes items i got for £1 each and not listed them yet as can't decide if i want to keep them for crafting material yet or not
