    Please may I join and go for the bronze challenge? £1000 seems a long way off but you have to start somewhere!

    I am registered for various survey sites and will raid cupboards to see what I can find for ebay. Does anyone know when next cheap listing day is?

    Not sure on next cheap listings day! Can I just clarify re ebay profits....are we counting the price sold for or do we need to deduct fees & postage? I'm getting a tad confused & if its the latter does anyone have an easy way of working it out? Am struggling to find out where the ebay fees are and then working out the paypal fees is quite time consuming or is there somewhere you can do it all in one place? Sorry I'm proably being a bit dull!...Just want to get this right from the start!

    I'm just including the sold for price coz I figure the bits of change I've had from postage pay the fees.

    Just received money from a Ebay sale minus fees & postage comes to £6.49, not bad awaiting payment for an item for a sale that went last night hopefully that should be another £2.50. Every little helps. Just requested my Mutualpoints cheque for £20 will add that to the pot when it arrives.
