eBay listing challenge
Comments
-
2 sold items posted and 3 more listed this afternoon.0

Sold 6 items, all posted and approx. £30 made (not deducting postage etc.)!! :j Apart from a mammoth trip to the post office have found the whole process pretty painless - easy to list and PO is near where I work so can usually combine trips at no extra cost. Also used loads of old jiffy bags and shoeboxes to post stuff so haven't forked out for new envelopes etc.
4 items have re-listed so may not sell but overall a good first month!
Keep going eBayers!

Just sold another pair of shoes that got relisted. 2 ink cartridges didn't sell but nay bother this time around. 7 out of 10 ain't bad and 1 more active for a couple more days!
Then April will come around and the whole shebang will start again!

Well that's it - my first month doing the eBay Listing Challenge and I've sold 8 out of 10 of my listings! Made about £50 so not bad at all as many were 99p listings :money:
Thanks for the impetus to keep at it guys - here's to when I can up my 10 free listings to 20!

Love this challenge. I've done ebay for a few years now but have lost my mojo recently so haven't done it for a few months now and stuff has piled up again.
Found this forum a few nights ago and have listed 9 items and already got bids on 4. Going to try and list at least 10 a month so thank you for giving me back my mojo. :TLightbulb Moment - Jan 2005

I originally signed up to the sell £1000 worth of stuff thread, but think that was such an over ambitious challenge for me to take on that i lost motivation for it. This one seems far better suited to me, no high goal to attain, just gradually unburdening myself of excess stuff that I could possibly recoup my past expenditure on. I'll try to ebay at least 5 items a month, low pressure is best for me :beer::staradmin: June NSD's 2/19:staradmin: Sealed Pot #460 :staradmin: £/day £185 saved :staradmin: W.S.C 2015 #45 :staradmin: F.P. 2/24 months :staradmin:0
