    Furious with ebay they pulled 26 listings saying I had a link with another account (my mums!also excellent feedback) we live in separate address, obviously different names dob and bank details... now have restricted number of listings, tried to deal with customer service they acknowledge no link but wont put my selling limits back despite 100% feedback and it cost me £7.70 to relist the items and now at max number of listings for month.. they told me to request higher limits and it would be put up again... i did and it got declined and now cant get through on chat!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    :( unfortunately that is ebay, did the same to me, then i got more listings ended for silly things (like saying check out my other listings) then got my account restricted for something else ridiculous - in the end i closed that account and opened a different one and had no problems since. Very very frustrating i know but try not to let them get under your skin!

    Right........caught up on posts now. Some seriously great money making happening in the past few days - well done!!

    :eek::eek::eek::eek: About the post office charges. Seriously unimpressed with the way that they have sneaked those charges in. Just thinking about the ebay things that I have sold this weekend in most cases the postage costs would double. I just can't see people being prepared to buy high postage on items that are worth under £10. Am going to have to get my head around that one ..........and it is going to make me think about what I sell on ebay. Some things probably won't be worth it and better in the car boot pile instead.

    I have not looked into face book selling and I know a few of you do that. Off to investigate............!

    Also - as of next week I am going to start adding money saved taking my lunch to work to my totals. Have been ridiculous this month and lazy. Spending on average £3.50 x 3 a week on lunch = £42.00 wasted in a month which could be looking pretty in my bank account.

    Well done people. I am having difficulty this week but I am counting £12 saved yesterday as I was definitely on for a curry but went and got an M&S meal deal for £8 for two (2 mains and 2 starters) instead of a takeaway. Have also managed to take lunches every day.

    Waiting for £55 from Quidco which has tracked but isn't there yet.

  • I have a quick question about how everyone else works the amounts for the challenge, do you wait until you receive the money from sites or enter it then just keep a note of it. Sorry if this is a daft question but not sure of the best way to work it.

    I wait until the money is in my account before I count it or if it is a voucher I count it once I have received it.
