    Well I completely failed to list anything in April, and May is going to be really busy work-wise, so wasn't planning to list anything until the end when I'll have a bit more time. But then today I got 100 free listings for the next 5 days - aargh!

    I've managed to sell 9 out of my 12 items listed during April - making around 50.00. Pleased with that! Going to try and list the same number during May. Was aiming to raise 100.00 for DDs birthday present so half way there already!

    Free listings weekend! I am going to commit to raising a minimum of £500 this month. I was doing well, had a few things not sell as i probably priced them too high and need to get back on the horse right away. Debts dont go down by themselves !

    No 100 FL for me but not been so good so wouldn't have listed anyway.
    Will have a go at doing my 20 FL for May and with a bit of luck will reach my 2nd £100 only £15 to go but stuff seems to be sticking at the moment so will add some fresh stuff.
    Going to have a go at using a courier service for bigger items rather than pick up only, should appeal to a wider audience - anybody any tips??
    Anyway keep going everyone think of all the money and the tidy home:)

    So, didn't quite reach the target I'd set myself for April but have the 100 FL offer and not a lot to do over the next couple of days so I will aim to have my 20 items listed by the end of Monday.

    No bids on the items currently listed, but there's still time so we'll see how it all goes! :)

    Listed 16 things and prepped 12 listings in draft to go on at good times. When do people find the best time to end auctions? Sundays always seem good but I can't believe that's the only time. Seems when I try to end at other times I get lower prices and more no sells. I hate no sells!

    Finally got 100 FL on Sun morn for two days so won't have to use up my 20 just yet. Feeling a bit better so managed to list 5 items yesterday and hope to do some more today but looking after little granddaughter so we'll see!!


    Well done to all those who have listed and sold:)


    Pollygarter - I agree listing times are crucial. I find Sat and Sun between 6 and 8pm the best times to finish but it doesn't always fit in with family life!!


    Anyway better go and sort some stuff before little one wakes up:)
