    In reply to the previous post re eBay - I too have always found it very long winded and tedious! The one thing that I have found to make it a lot easier is using the eBay app on my iPhone. You just have to take a photo using the phone and then write a few details and it is that easy. Can't believe it used to take me ages taking photo on the camera then plugging the camera into the laptop USB then uploading the photo on eBay (which took ages in itself!)
    Probably stating the obvious - but in case it isn't hope that helps!

    Agreed, the ebay app is brilliant :T:T Also I love the "cher-ching" sound when you sell something :j

    Hello

    The other bag sold yesterday, and after fees, the total was £45.06.

    total for #11 - £912.89/£10224 = 8.93%

    i have another 11 items listed which end on Tuesday and 4 have bids on and loads of watchers on the others, so hopefully I will pay off some more later this week.

    Happy Sunday

    I quite like selling stuff on there, As someone said earlier in the thread, I use my iPad or iPhone to list the stuff and it is so much easier. Some of the stuff I have sold are things I would previously thrown away, so now I list everything and if they do not sell after 2 re-lists, then they go to the charity shop.

    I don't like going to the post office though to post the items. I print the postage from Paypal so I just have to drop the stuff off, but not all post offices have a seperate drop off counter :eek:
    Good luck with your selling :D:D

  • Hi amr547, looks like a good plan of action, though if the DMP companies have accepted the payment plan, it means interest will have been frozen. If you have something with a high interest, I'd pay it off before making settlement offers.

    Thanks, yes the postage is a PITA with all the wrapping etc. I'm also always terrified I've sent the wrong thing to the wrong address :rotfl:

    Lol, I can not multi-task when I am sorting out the postage. I take the sold item and the postage labels into a different room when I pack them up to prevent the wrong thing falling into the package :D

    It is sounding like my OCD might extend to more than numbers!!
