    Today has not been very productive despite getting up with good intentions. I have had enough of the bay a buyer purchased something from me and then opened a case despite tracking showing they have received the item the money has been refunded, which has left me £7 out of pocket and no item. Enough of my rant

    Does anyone use ebid?

    did you tell ebay the tracking number and say it showed as received?
    seems a bit odd them refunding when postal proof is available - maybe you could as them to review it?

    £8.79 after fees for eBay sales.

    Listed what could be £50+ worth of items tonight, now have 27 items finishing next Sunday, think I may struggle to sell a fair few, but as I'm not going to be able to do a car boot this month, thought I might as well list them. We'll see.

    Got another £2 worth of Nectar points for various reasons and a 77p Brand Match coupon for when I next go to the supermarket (which hopefully won't be until next week :))

    Been trying to sell a good quality trumpet after it was valued at up to £200 but so far, no joy. Also got a Vintage camera, lens and filters. Want to make sure I get the best price I can, this needs further research!

    Will list some more items on eBay on Thursday for 10 days.

    Feel 50/50 that this month has been a bit pants for bringing in extra money/or that I have done well to try, was away until the 10th. I brought back £127 to change back into pounds, this was an unexpected bonus but as it's my money anyway I don't think it's the right thing to do to count it here, is it?

    Hopefully next month the camera and/or trumpet could make a good difference -- now there's a sentence I've never said before :) x

    Hmph, missed out on a MS assignment with an increased fee yeaterday. Noticed it had reappeared this morning with the lower fee, cheekily emailed to say I could complete but for the higher fee. Its showing in error so will be deleted. Gutted :rotfl: but it was worth a try!!

    Hi all - some fabby totals over the weekend, well done!

    I got my £17.00 from FieldAgent, saved 70p on Mr T's with a 'money off your next shop' voucher and made another £6.27 of eBay. Still a long way off but getting there slowly!

    £1.11 withdrawn from TCB. Just wish that the remaining £46 would change from confirmed to payable!
  • Finally reached the £300 target didn't think i was gonna make it this month. Had a surprise £200 gift from the parents. I never usually get this much it's thanks to this site and them claiming on their pensions.

    Also banked £10 in change plus a few more ebay sales.

    I would say if you budgeted a certain amount to spend and you didn't spend it all you should add it - its like money you didn't expect to have left over and similar to having money left out of shopping budget because you cut down or used coupons :) It gives you more money to pay off something :D well done!
