    Hooray! Well done! :T

    I've sold quite a few eBay things in the past, but I end up taking ages over them anyway - I don't think I've got much quicker with practice at all! I write very detailed descriptions. :o

    Manage to get 5 up this evening at least. Already got interest in one - wahey!

    Hey all!

    I first read this thread back in January and failed to get my bum in gear! Finally listed my first (ever) 5 items on eBay - they were all freebies so my theory is if they make any money it's a bonus as they cost me nowt to start with! As a newbie I only get 10 listings per month but will keep an eye out on free listing weekends from now on!

    Good luck all and here goes...

    another 4 items sold this weekend. One of them was with the overseas postal system, which I didn't know I signed unto.

    You can't send those buyers an invoice, you just have to wait for them to pay!!

    Can I join you please?

    Have been listing on EBay for a while, but think this challenge may be the motivation I need to list more stuff ( I have an ever-growing pile of things to list!) I've got 4 items up at present and sold one item yestarday.

    Will aim for the 20 free listings per month.

    Used my final free listing for this month! Sold one item, had bids on 3 others so feeling pretty chuffed! Hope the post office trip doesn't bleed me dry and then PayPal snaffles the rest!

    Next stop... April! :D

    Very cleverly (not) left my bag of things to list at work. So I shall resume listing when I get back there unless I find a few things today.
