I sold a water filter jug and earned a huge 13p profit I was gutted it cost £8.90 to post the item ;-( Everybody seems to be doing really well keep it up.
use couriers rather than royal mail. much cheaper and myhermes track for free. You wouldn't pay out so much on postage then.0 -
Well, I forced myself to get on with the listing after I last posted and managed to get ten more items up. The two that I didn't get round to doing probably wouldn't have made much anyway (if anything), I'd have generated an eBay induced headache and would have spent the tiny profits on paracetamol. By not doing them, everybody wins except Asda and the medicines aisle.
I wonder if there's a market for creative excuses? I must have tons of them
I've also updated my sig to show my current total including this weekend's gains of £34.61 - £9.61 via eBay and £25 from (lowers voice to a mumble...) gambling. I can honestly say that I hardly ever lose at this, mostly because I hardly ever do it - and so I hardly ever win eitherI'd be the first to admit that it's far from being the most reliable way of boosting cash reserves and would not recommend that you try it at home
Well done, Mavvy on your impressive double-your-money sale, and to everyone else for each little penny garnered so far this month. Here's to another profitable week for us allDecember 'Make £10 A Day' Challenge - £1.82/£155.000 -

I usually do on larger items but thought I would have got away with small parcels the problem I had was finding a box to fit the item in. I should have checked this before posting on eBay.
I won't be making that mistake again.0 -
Well done Mavvymoo for your more than double up :T
Great to see everyone doing so well and if you want somewhere to put all that lovely dosh have you all seen the new TSB current account paying 5% - you have to pay in £500 a month but you can just set up a S/O from another account and pay it back so you qualify :money:

I find even with small parcels, the courier companies are being more competitive0 -
Thanks everyone I was pleased with my profit :DFairy that is still a great profit so do get excited please
The other shoes I was going to buy from FB were too tatty so I didn't get them.:o
So that leaves me with some cash to buy something else to double my money on.
I have some bits and bobs here to stick on FB as too big to bother with E*ay so will see how I get on with that.
Good luck everyone

I wasn't aware you could have more than one email address linked.
Thanks.
However, the email address you use with apptrailers has to be one that is used with ebay, otherwise it won't work, which is why Pixiepops had a problem.Debts (as of 28/10/15)
