Why does money make u feel so low????

lynzpower

are you certain tho that your bills are as low as they can be? I thought mine were, and it seems I was paying out way over the odds, to BT, for my insurances and so on

If you pop up your SOA here someone will be able to point out better deals, and hopefully save you both a few quid! :money:

Hope i dont offend but can i make a suggestion on your listings ?

**DEBENHAMS** DARK PINK BNWT SKIRT SIZE 20

Remove the stars or at least put a space between them and the debenhams bit, as anyone searching for debenhams wont get your listing unless they put the stars in the search as well - try it yourself

Had two phone calls tonight for clothes party for the next two weeks so i happy bout that

It wasnt so bad
I sell in a very competitive market ( body Jewellery ) my main id has 7600 feedback now, but i went back to work full time as i needed the security of a regular wage as there is only me and DD
I scaled down my listings from 800/900 to a couple of hundred so i can cope with the packing !
But yes, back in the time when i put the effort in, it was no problem to hit 3k a month, it can be good money but you do have to work hard !!
Constantly re-evaluate your listings, look at why stuff doesnt sell, make sure you you take advantage of those titles, every word should be a search term, doesnt matter if it doesnt quite make sense and if you cant get a real model for your clothing invest in a bust - quick search for plus size mannequin results in a few priced around £15, you can always use clothes pegs at the back to make them fit the mannequin better

lol just to add the ebay bit in my sig is the money ive made from selling my own stuff on another id - not the business one !
