    In the last month I have made £39.37 from selling unwanted things on e-Bay. I generally try and have about four active listings at any given time.

    Im saving for a PS4 in November when StarWars is released and Im hoping to make about £250 towards the cost of it and de-clutter my stuff at the same time.

    2014 = £202

    Hi everyone back from my hols - made my final £100 day before so managed my £300 for spends so chuffed wouldn't have done it without coming on here so big Thank You to all.


    So now for the next challenge - got a week off in September with hubby but not sure what we doing yet but will start saving my eBay money for this and if we don't go anywhere I'll put it towards something we need (I'm sure I'll think of something!!).


    Relisted 15 things last night as hadn't used my 20 for the month and have a bid already so it pays to keep relisting some things just take time!!
    Will sort some new things next week ready for July's F/L's.


    So keep at it everyone a little and often is best I find. I think summer is harder with holidays and kids being off etc. so give yourself a break and don't fret if u don't get round to listing - there's always next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
    Oh and welcome to all newcomers - good luck with ur listings and ur targets:)

    evening

    I have listed 8 items today. I am having ANOTHER clearout so I have loads to lists. I will list another 5 tomorrow, which will take me to my 20 free listings, and then list another 20 next weekend.

    7 items ended today and didn't sell and as they have been re-listed a few times I will take them to the charity shop tomorrow.

    Keep going everyone.

    Afternoon

    7 of the item I listed last weekend have sold.

    The rest have auto relisted so will see how they go.

    How is everyone doing?

    Oh my, how I need this thread! I keep meaning to list stuff (so much stuff) including all of my unwanted craft items; clothes; books and electronics. I'm setting myself a target of listing at least 20 items/month between now and the end of 2015. And really, 100 items doesn't seem that much when I consider how much I need to shift!

    I'll be back with results!

    Evening

    well lots of things have sold and a few things have gone to the charity shop.

    I have 12 items currently listing, and now eBay has stopped the auto-listing thingy, I will resist once and then anything that doesn't sell will go straight to the charity shop.

    I have notice for the last couple of weeks that people are buying autumn/winter stuff.

    Keep going everyone :)

    Well done!

    I'm aiming to work through my house, room by room, sorting out items that I no longer need or want - and to have them all listed before Christmas. I'll be starting with my office (which has all of my crafting materials in it) and will start listing them all when I'm off work next week.

    Just telling you all the plan to make myself accountable, you know? :)
