    Listed/relisted 30 items on eBay this month - and a very poor month it was

    Sold 4 things, coming away with a total of just £5.28 :(

    Should have made another £1-ish, but the only bidder lives outside the UK (Southern Ireland) which means I can't use the Recorded delivery I insist on. All my auctions were listed as 'ships to UK' which means I can refuse to sell to her, but I've now been told how to set up my account so that someone has to have a UK address as their primary address in order to be able to bid so it shouldn't happen again. Just waiting for eBay to process the 'no sale' so I get the final selling fees back !!

    I've still got 19 of this months free listing to go at (used special offers they sent me for the others), so have spent this afternoon getting 17 things ready to go up tonight. I'm going to process those on my May spreadsheets with them not closing until after month roll-over, but I'm really not sure any will sell. I've also got 9 auctions running that are set to end next Monday which will also go into my May accounts (if any sell).

    Need to update the total in my signature yet (probably do it tomorrow when I have all the other figures ready to go as well)

    Hi. Quick update for April.
    Made £222.94 this month from e-b*y.
    Total so far is £830.62.
    Who new I had so much stuff lying about!
    Going away soon so not going to list anything for a while,but I'm trying to be organised by getting things on turbo lister ready to upload when I come back.
    Going to have a good look at selling/trading in books on Amaz*n when I get back. Hopefully a table sale as well.
    Happy selling for May.

    Brilliant results, especially ilovetea.:T:T:T

    Torrential rain here until early afternoon so wasn't able to go car booting:(. There's only one tomorrow nearer than 25 miles away and from experience the field it's on is always waterlogged/flooded after such heavy rain so I might give it a miss. Don't want to waste petrol just going to check and don't have a number to phone and ask anyone. Money-making opportunity missed :mad:

    Have been listing on eBay all afternoon, still about 10 bits to get on there tonight as I want the auctions to finish Sunday evening. At least I've got everything photographed already:j Have about 25 books to list on Amazon as well.

    Enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday everyone. :beer:

    I sold a pair of shoes for £30 this weekend to add to my total.


    I have got lots more to list - found another pair of GHD's I forgot I even had.
