    I always use an eBay fee calculator online to work this out - I know if I try it myself I'll have no hope of getting it right! A quick google brings up this one however if it's not to your taste there are others to choose from too.

    Thanks for putting this up, was wondering this myself!

  • Hi everyone, I just wanted to say how great everyone is doing, it's fantastic!

    Little Miss, sorry to be a real pain but please could I change my 1% to £10 rather than £100. I have decided to focus on 1 debt at a time as £100 seemed a bit daunting!


    I have now earned 20% as a few things I've been working on have finally come off!

    Slow & steady wins the race, as someone said the other day!


    Also doing my first ever car boot on Sunday so hopefully a few more % to add after that!


    I'm off to colour in my first squares! Yey!!

    Trying to think of more ways to get this money raised. I need to get this maternity stuff shifted, so far no interest on the parenting sites. Don't want to go down eBay route until its free listing weekend as alot of it I want £10-15 for as it's bnwot or an expensive make. Hmmm, it's on my local fb selling page too.

    I'm tempted to realist the camera though, 3 day listing, ending prime time Sunday. Infact will do that now as I need to cover the fees eBay will take next week as I withdrew everything x

    Thanx, did a rough calculation based on selling for 99p and getting 2.70postage and turns out id pay 43p in fees so gaining 57p ...hmm

    Hi all,

    I have been a bit of a lurker for a while, reading this thread is very inspirational. I want to clear my OD by next september as its interest free until then.
    so my 1% will be £20.
    Every 5% (£100) i reach, i can then pay in to reduce. Such a brill idea!!
    Paying it all off in 2017:
    Finance 1- [STRIKE]115[/STRIKE] Paid Jan 2017
    Finance 2- 335
    CC - [STRIKE]2000[/STRIKE]1800
    OD 1 - [STRIKE]2200[/STRIKE] 1850
    OD 2 - 2500

    Decluttering - thanks for the ebay calculator link - such a good fink - had no idea they existed! Now we can see if its worth our while to list.

    Had an email yesterday that my first batch of Amazon trade-ins were accepted for £6.25 - thats the day after posting - though it won't make me millions every penny helps.

  • Hi,

    Number 88 here! I have updated my totals and have managed to clear a whopping 153 which is just over 11% of my total! Yey!

    Have still got lots listed on eBay and am considering an eBay business of handmade canvas paintings - but doing a mini experiment this weekend with the free listings on eBay!

    NUMBER 88 - 11% cleared!

    Just need to raid the house for other things to list - am also selling homemade earrings on there - if they sell I will put them in an eBay shop - if I can get enough interest!

    Will keep you all posted! X
