The Olympic Challenge Take Two

hello everybody been cleaning and listing things like mad. I have sold 12 (yes twelve books at amazon in the last few days) as amazon have not put the money into my account yet, will it be ok for me to add this money to the challenge when it arrives (hopefully after the 14th)?
Now just need to work out the ebay selling thing, have the digital camera but am a bit of a technophobe.
Hopefully will be able to sell as well as amazon, I just can't believe the stuff that has been lying in the house.
I think the woman at the post office and I will become good friends at this rate.
by the way I'm not spam??? (what's that) but a rather happy Scot.
Hi Bonar.... if ur gonna try eBay out, geta couple of things ready to list on Thurs if u can, coz it's 10p listing day... I know what u mean about the Post Office lady.... my one already knows what to do if she sees me step up with a packet in my hand
I just searched mseolympicchallenge on eBay, and nothing came up! I take it no-one's listed anything yet?. BTW does it matter if u put it in the main body of text or does it have to be in the title?

I don't know why I bother with Ebay, I never sell much at all. I've got some books listed on Amazon so hopefully be more lucky there.OD Girls On TourBarcelona 2008 - Dublin 20090

I have never had probs selling on ebay and then they chose the 10p listing day to decide that I need my paypal account verified!!
Never mind at least it made me sort out what I need to sell and what I need to chuck etc...
Does anyone know when the next 10p listing day is? - and how do you tell when they are coming up? I object to paying full prices when it was so cheap yesterday.
I made a list of all the things 2 do for this challenge: Ebay, matched betting, see if I'm entitled to any grants, write a book (!), get more translation work.JUST DO IT ONE BRICK AT A TIMEPROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBTSWeekly Budget: groceries£50/petrol£50/Unnecesary£15DEBT PAID = 58% (£4,212/£8216):T0 -
Ahh ended up going to see Harry Potter last night (which I very much enjoyed) but that meant I only got 1 thing on ebay as it was the only thing I had a photo saved of :-(.
I have however sold 2 things on amazon and 1 on green met in the last couple of days and will be posting them tomorrow and as I count money from Amazon/Ebay on the day I post it - I'll be off the starting blocks - yay!
Also someone wants some videos I put on small ads at work - 5 for £5 and I'm delivering them on Monday.
Over the weekend I'm going to update my spreadsheet of all my survey etc sites I do as I've been bad at keeping up with both the spreadsheet and with some of the paid to click sites so I'm going to try extra hard with this challenge.
Good luck everyone for tomorrow - almost under starters orders!Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000

well done on all of your listing on Ebay everybody - I have done nothing yet :rolleyes: I was planning to do a car boot sale on Sunday but have just looked at the weather forecast and guess what? it is forecast for rain
so I will have to look into an indoor one. We re homed our rabbit recently so I have a rabbit hutch and a run that I am going to put up for sale on the noticeboard at Tescos - again though I am waiting for dry weather so that I can give it a good clean out.
I have put myself down for silver but I had it in my head that silver was £1000 and that is what I am aiming for so I dont know if it is too late to change me to bronze pleasewill change my sig too.
Good luck for the start tomorrow everybody:cool: Official DFW Nerd Club Member #37 Debt free Feb 07 :cool:0
