    Hi everyone...
    I haven't been on here for a while, have spent months decorating.
    Today I've packed up 2 boxes and 2 bin bags full of stuff for the local charity shops.
    I've also listed 50+ items on ebay, emptied my turbolister! (some already sold BIN :T )

    so feeling a whole lot less cluttered..... what a relief:j

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Just relisted 14 items that didn't sell. I have more that I could list but I haven't the time to be writing new listings. But I did upgrade them all to Gallery pictures as well ;):rotfl::rotfl: Maybe, just maybe I might get rid of some of this stuff!!!
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Hi Guys,

    Not posted for a few days.
    Started sorting out DS1 wardrobe but then had a bad headache for 2 days so it got put on hold. :(

    IN: Cushion
    OUT: Carrier bag of broken bits of toys.
    EBAY: Nothing listed at the mo.

    Also, have about 4 boxes full of toys moved to shed ready for car booting, so they are out of the house but not gone completely yet!

    Question:
    I have lots of out grown children's clothes (mainly Next) which I was going to list on Ebay for 99p.
    Thing is, if they only sell for 99p, after fees (15p & 7.5% FVF = 7p) is it really worth it, especially if they pay by Paypal on top (is it 3.4% + 20p?).
    I'd end up with 50p if I'm lucky. Do you all do this?
    Just wondering if it is worth the time and hassle for 50p.
    Would appreciate your thoughts, thanks.
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    Ebay:

    4/13 items with bids totalling £7.39

    Totally missed listing today as got invited to a BBQ BUT £50 just received (finally!) on Quidco for Betfair should be paid to me shortly so that more than evens it out!

    I thought this myself this week, having waited for one buyer to pay up for over two weeks, with no comms from them (I had emailed them four times), I was wondering where I even stood.
