    Sold a Facebook item for £1 so the total is now £20.14.

    Had an email off eBay offering 30% off final value fees for items listed today and tomorrow so I have listed a few things that haven't sold on Facebook. There was also no insertion fee and free to add a buy it now price.

    UPDATE: one of my items sold instantly on a buy it now for £30 plus postage! Will wait until I have paid postage and fees to update my total but needless to say I am very pleased with that! (Btw the buyer paid instantly too!)

    How does an item sell instantly when you list as a BIN? Is there a way to put out a notification for items you want? I ask as my husband collects rare figurines so I would definitely be interested.

    Well done on your total so far :)

    Thank you.

    To be honest, I think somebody must have been searching for the item I was selling and come across mine just after I listed it. I don't know if you can set up notifications. I don't use eBay an awful lot as I think the fees are really high now and I have had problems in the past with dodgy buyers who claim not to receive items or that they are not as described.

    Up to £69.98 so far, and I should have another payment for sold items coming in tomorrow as well.

    I haven't even started on my eBay sales yet.

    Hi all, is it too late to join this? I am wanting to save/earn an extra £2015 in 2015. I save 50 a week anyway (so this extra 2015 will be in addition to savings.)

    My aim is to be frugal and I am going to start a diary. I've said it before, but this time I have a biiig target. I am getting on the way to saving for a mortgage with my boyfriend, and as I now have that as a target, rather than saving on my own, it is definitely acheivable.

    So the aim is this, comping, swagging, gifthulk, topcashback, and throwing any leftover money at the end of the month in the savings (in addition to the 50 I save a week) I am also due a rebate, so this will add to the total hopefully. Unfortunately I earn a salary (as I am a teacher) so overtime is not applicable. However I have recently gone up a payscale point, which will be backdated (as it curently hasn't been added yet, and I went up in october!)

    So there we go £2015 (plus) for 2015, can I join?

    That is great news Ma-Ri-Ella! Well done :)

    I've used Approved Foods twice, both times the items were great, as described, no problems with them, delivery was good the second time. The first time they couldn't find us but our new build was only about 18 months old, so that happened a lot. The driver rang and told us where he was and my husband went down and he followed us back to delivery, so that was more than most other courier companies would do definitely. We even got a few freebies in one of our boxes.

    Please count me in. I have done it the last couple of years and I've really enjoyed doing it.

    I've just cashed out on Shopitize and topcashback, I'll update my total when I have received the money. :D
