eBay listing challenge
Comments

Anyone got any advice on when to withdraw the funds from your PayPal account? I'm letting my eBay money sit in there at the moment as I suspect there's a fee taken when you go to transfer it to your bank account.
(Although there's nothing to stop me spending the money via PayPal - but it'd be good to have the option to put it in the savings account)

Hi Lotti-clark
I usually transfer it into my bank account and then into my savings account every time it reaches £100 as some people say not to leave too much in just in case it gets hacked.
Some people will withdraw it all but I leave a bit just in case I want to buy anything.
I can keep track of how much I earn by doing it like this.
As far as I know there's no fee for this.
So it's up to you really do what's best for you.
Hope that helps

Hi to all the new people nice to have u on board.
Just a quick post that I've managed to sell two more things and I am now on £86 with bids on two more items. So hoping to make £100 this month. So pleased as I was really cheesed off doing it for a while but this challenge has really got me back into it!!!
Also listed some decking at weekend and have 23 watchers so that looks promising.
With a bit of luck I can transfer my 1st £100 for my holidays at the weekend :j
Its so good when ur in the zone just wish I could apply it to all areas of my life:rotfl:Lightbulb Moment - Jan 2005
