I wonder if that's Within the Ts&Cs of faster payments?

Out of interest, what sort of stuff are you selling? I struggle to list 2 or 3 things a month, never mind need a free listing weekend!

Probably not, but they are trying to get rid of all their customers, so annoying them is probably a good way of doing it! I'd move if it wasn't for the overdraft which is not my biggest priority as it's low interest.

I sell anything and everything We have spent the last few years clearing a relative's hoarded house. So we've had a steady stream of various collections to clear. We're nearing the end of that now, so are tackling more of our own stuff now. Both DH and I have had hoarding tendencies in the past so are trying to reduce our stuff (me quicker than him). Little jwil is also providing us with various items as he grows up.

The only thing I don't tend to sell are clothes. Anything else is fair game. Our house is still majorly cluttered though so there's a way to go yet.

Hey everyone.

Not much going on here. I've been catching up with surveys and sold one item overnight so will make another payment.

I keep saying it, but I must dig out some more stuff to go on. Will try and do that later.

Hope everyone is well.

I've withdrawn a hefty £1.79 from topcashback to Paypal. When that arrives I'm going to use it to cover some ebay fees. As I always pay for my first listing, that will cover 5 new listings

jwil

I've sold a couple of bits today so will get them in the post tomorrow.

I've also sorted and listed another 18 lots. Fingers crossed for some sales!

Hi jwil :wave:
Well done so far! :j
I got the free listings...but I only used about a dozen! �� been a bit busy last few days so didn't really get round to sorting much out.
Still got my monthly free ones to use!
I managed a couple of sales too. :T

jwil

Thanks tattycath

I've been snowed under at work the last week or so so haven't had a chance to get on. I did manage to get some listings done last week, and sold most of them :T I've sold a few more items today as well so that's good.

I haven't made any payments for a few days as I haven't had a chance to see where I am. We've got some time off coming up as well, and it will soon be little jwil's birthday so I want to have a little bit of spare cash for that as well.

It is annoying me not making any payments, so I might try and do something small to keep my hand in I haven't been great with the surveys so need to catch up with those too.

I have received a few items in the post to test and various vouchers so that's good. I've also been notified that I'm getting something else to test as well, so looking forward to that.

I got a book to review as well - read the whole thing yesterday. It was really powerful. It's another one off my reading challenge. It was this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/An-Untamed-State-Roxane-Gay/dp/0802122515

Still waiting for some elusive free listings from ebay. Loads of my BINs are going out now, and I want to relist them!
