Oh Haybel hun, really sorry that your illness has flared up again and is causing you so much pain .. Cant do anything but wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and hope you're on the way to recovery real soon xx.

That's a real blow about ebay ... I dont understand why they say do something, then penalise you for doing it. Just makes my blood boil.

You could try Gumtree or see if you have a local facebook selling group page .. try asking Aesop on the challenge thread - she does quite well using her local group.

Hang on in there sweetie, dont let the b*ggers get you down!

Hugs,
Angel xxx

thank you... I will be right back on it tomorrow once ive licked my wounds and had a little sulk :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

haybel19

still sulking and trying to sort... feeling throughly rubbish worse than yesterday... chest so sore... everything a big effort... have listed few bits on facebook, and few books on amazon in the meantime...

Otherwise it has been a sofa day I have absolutely no energy at all...

haybel19

Had a facebook sale which cheered me up...but otherwise low miss checking ebay listings, have a whole room full of stuff sorted ready to sell... not well enough for bootsales at the moment and some of it stuff would get much better price for elsewhere...

Doesnt help that ive been quite poorly and not left the house all week, nor that we have a lot of expense coming up which ebay sales money would have really helped with... also made me feel good decluttering and putting some in the kitty...

Had a small debt i had hoped to clear in full with all the stuff I had sorted... which would have been a lovely end to the month and so motivating but not going to happen now...

Starting to think i was doing better before my LBM...

Sorry you're still feeling poorly, it's the pits when you have an illness that you can't "control". I curl up with a four pawed hot water bottle, it doesn't make me better, but it certainly comforts me

Are you signed up with all the Survey & Cashback Sites, as well as Maximiles etc and all the mobile apps ? At least you could be doing clicks, surveys, and tasks whilst your housebound.

Quidco & TCB are doing the cashback for uploading a supermarket receipt for qualifying products - worthwhile if you're going to be buying those items anyway. It may only seem like pennies, but they do add up.

You may not get as much but you could try out Ebid, Preloved & Gumtree for some of your things, and even Amazon's Marketplace might be worth looking at. With your craft items, try Etsy & Folksy.

It might also be worth you having a look at the "Micro Job" sites that have started springing up such as Fiverr & Amazon's Mturk.

I've always had a thing about the monopoly that eb*y has, wish all these people who grumble about or get frozen by them actually supported places like ebid. These rivals could be a real option, but only if people actually use them.

Don't get disheartened, we all go through phases like that during our journey. I know I have, and I'm sure I'll go through a few more before I'm done.

Chin up sweetie, and hang on in there :A

Maximiles is similar to swagbucks, think there's a link on the challenge thread or if you want to help someone out in the process, go to the referrer's board and sign up via a referral link.

You seem to have sold a few of those now, it really would be worth you looking at selling on Folksy & Etsy - they are craft/handmade specific, and many on there seem to do quite well. It wouldnt hurt to try it

Hope you're feeling a bit better,
Angel xx

Managed to sell a few craft bits and make an extra £60.. which is very handy and will go towards the grand calibur I want to get- will be really handy for samples and articles.

Max been a bit poorly today so is having lots of cuddles and his favourite foods... we are snuggled on the sofa at the moment...

Princess and I are starting baby yoga on thursday- and she starts swimming lessons on sunday - really looking forward to it. She loves yoga and is a real water baby bless her.

Made a payment for the payment today challenge of £5... have been neglecting my challenges a little bit but am right back on it now.
