    £20 to add today - £10 from Swagbucks and I spent £10 of my bootsale cash so transferred £10 from my banking. Decided it saves me having to go to a bank, and I ended up working a full day today anyway. Also claimed a £10 Sainsbury's voucher from VO but I don't count vouchers.

    That's all my attempts for today.
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder


    :j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

    Hoping someone can help me with a quick eBay question... Do PayPal charge fees when you sell something too???

    I'm such a beginner at this! I've tried googling it but I think I'm confusing myself. It's just that the figures in my PayPal sales don't seem to match the amounts when purchased if you know what I mean.

    Thanks so much

    Hi, yes paypal take a fee, if you click into the item listed on the paypal page it does tell you what their fee is.

    Is this not the case then?????

    not all hun! the compensation is yours for suffering an injury as a result of someone else causing an accident. The money is rightfully yours to say you will have a loss of earnings, distress and any other problems caused, and it is yours to spend how you want.

    You could hold out and see if they will offer more than the grand, but if you are happy, take it, pay your debts and have your operation. don't worry about it!

    take the time to recover and yes SSP is carp! :rotfl: but while you are off recuperating, you could up your moneymaking ;)

    For normal sellers it's 20p + 3.4% - and that's 3.4% of the total amount you are actually being paid, so the selling price AND the p&p charged.

    Still waiting for a measly £6 from wonderbug, took me over a year to get to redemption and now it takes 9 weeks to be cashed out! Rubbish! Gratis points is finally at payout, I did a survey today which took me to the next payout level and now the next one is too far away so I'm cashing in! I have no idea how much it'll be but it's PayPal so hoping for £15 :D

    Well done Teeni, your doing really well.

    No, I'm sure it's not.
    Don't get me wrong I'm not an expert on these things so cannot categorically tell you 100%.
    But they are separate things, your work wouldn't even need to know about your compensation if you didn't want them to as it is totally nothing to do with them. I'm not saying they shouldn't know as you've any need to hide it - in case you thought I was suggesting foul play!

    If you are being offered £1000 though, before you have taken it any further, then that is most likely because they know that if you did pursue a claim, you would probably be entitled to more compensation..?
