I had this problem and wrote to them. You have to go to rewards, then click on gifts, then payment options and then chose paypal etc.
Its very confusing and not immediately obvious.

Thanks for that.... Was feeling a bit dim

Emma sorry your having a rough weekend ((((hugs))))

Took the kids out for lunch today as promised. Because we went in someone gave us 2 "kids eat free" vouchers. Would have paid anyway so adding £7.98 (£3.99 each) to my total.

Off to work now

Does anyone have a spreadsheet where they keep track of their eBay sales??? Sold my first item at the weekend (not ever but in at least two years!!) and wanted to keep track of profit.

Will have a proper catch up later when kids not driving me crazy!!!

Hi all, Ive been away at my boyfriends for 5 days, its like a holiday, love it. Had some ebays finish while I was there so that was £31.99 then got back home to find £7.00 refund from the cleaner i hired for a month while i was really ill and the bloke who dropped the woodburner off didnt have change so he had knocked a £5 off that too! There are some nice people around. Wish I could still afford a cleaner ( i couldnt then)
Hope everyone had a great Bank Holiday xx

Lunch time! I'm over my wibble now. BF had a stern text and has spent today ringing recruitment agencies, applying for jobs and coming up with an action plan for turning up at industrial estates with his CV. I've just given him a call and he seems to be doing well!

My 'make money this bank holiday' blog post has gone live - it has a few referral links in it, so hopefully that will bring something in.

I have nothing new to list on eBay this weekend, but I've got relisting. Plus we're doing TWO boot sales this weekend. I've also got £23 in free M&S vouchers and I've been asked if I would kindly leave work an hour early as they want to go home early (oh no...) so I'll pop into Cambridge and get some food. Mmmm free expensive food.

I've not mentioned it, but this weekend is the anniversary of my Mum's death and I always find it so hard - six years down the line. I've got something fun planned with my Dad on Monday (the actual anniversary) and I'm hoping to just keep so insanely busy that I don't think about it until Monday. So I'm going to write a massive to do list and then get back to work.

How do you do referral links on a blog? I am struggling with making money from mine?

£2 into the piggy (we'll ignore the £3 spent on chocolate)

Couple of decently paying mystery shops coming up. Next weeks takeaway is money neutral which is always handy.

You need to write a post about what you want to refer people for, ie apptrailers, make it a good post, really selling how you can make money, what to do, how all the pennies add up, referring friends, etc. then paste in your own referral links and say if you are interested in earning more money, please use my link.

I have an excel spreadsheet I could send you if you want. I use a sheet for each month. List the item I'm selling, what it sold for, postage costs, fees paid to eBay and PayPal. I also use the same sheet to add up what I've earned for the month so I know where I am.

I got my new car today. So hopefully be paying less monthly on the car costs from now on. Seems odd it being a newer car but I'm actually paying the same monthly loan wise for 4 years instead of the 2 I had left on the old loan.

I treated myself to a half price frapucinno from Starbucks today with the gift card offer I bought last week. While I wandered round town doing quidco check-ins for the first time.

I also did a shop in M&S couldn't believe how huge my bill was. Luckily I had the £20 gift card and £8 rewards from credit card.
