    Thanks for letting me know, I missed last weekend's and have lots of things I'd like to list. Looks like that's my Saturday taken up :rotfl:

    Planned to do some ebaying on Saturday, had even arranged with my husband to have a father/son day so I could concentrate better, but have had this stinking cold all week and didn't feel up to doing anything. Hope there's another free listing weekend soon as we have lots of stuff mounting up that needs putting on.

    Sorry to say turbo listings are not free even when its free listing weekends, the T&C don't allow for use of turbo lister :(

    Use ebays Scheduling tool instead :D
    this is what i do :
    create your listings whenever you have the time, so say TODAY.

    There is an option to schedule the listing to start in upto 4 weeks time, use this and chose the longest date away.

    It will say its charging you 6p to use this tool, don't worry about that :D

    Then when its the next free listing, go back and revise your scheduled listings to "start listing/ go live now".

    By doing this you wont get charged the 6p, you qualify for the free listings AND because its all been prepared before hand there is no mad scramble to get your whole house listed in 2 days :rotfl:
    Hope that helps :D

    Can you change the date if the free listing doesn't come up before the date you've picked (if that makes sense)?

    Number 154 reporting in

    A successful week - thank you for prompting me to do something about it with this thread. Many thanks!

    £122 made on ebay from the last week
    £40 from sending an old phone in

    Total £162 = 1%

    A very good start, reached my target in a week. Couldn't have got around to it without this thread giving me the kick to get going again. This is going to pay for my car's MOT and service and the rest is going towards credit card repayments.

    Anyway, its onwards and upwards as still have some items left to finish of ebay and plenty more stuff for now to go on there once this lot finished
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

  • Well its the first time I've been able to get on here for a while!

    I'm pleased to say I've managed 27% so far through surveys, ebaying, re doing my SOA and counting up my spare change :T

    it amounts to over £500 since July so I'm really pleased, I'm still on track for my debt free date, going to have a look at some of the other ideas on here now.
