Hi guys.
Well I have finally decided to reconnect to the internet at home. Which means I now have access to ebay :T .
However I have no idea how to get the best from it. I tried selling something about 2 years again and failed.
So I was wondering whether any of you had any hints and tips to get me started. What sort of things sell well? Everything will be welcome as I am desperate to raise some cash so I can reach my target of getting rid of my store card and OD by Christmas.
Thanks x

Hi Lucy!
There's a whole thread on ebay etc that I'm sure will have loads of useful information!

You find the weirdest things will sell on ebay, you just need to have a look on completed listings on ebay and see what items you own have sold for!

Only sell things that cost you virtually nothing and that people want.
Don't rely on ebay as your main income as they can boot you off for little reason at any time.
Remember that time is worth something, so don't waste hours to earn 50p.The money, Dave...0 -
To be honest, I don't have hours to spend and most of this things I've got rid of through Amazon I've had for ages and no longer need or use.
I'm hoprfully going to do a car boot sale on Sunday so if I have things left over I might stick them on Ebay and see what happens.Current debt - £16,300
