10p TT'd this morning. Nothing else happening! Need to have a quick scan through budget and bank account later to make sure we're all fine for final Christmas CC (have a bit to transfer from Christmas and birthday funds for January presents).
Otherwise its quiet moneywise. EBay continues with 73 items ending tonight, of which 1 has sold. Pleasde to see eBay have extended free lists to cover FEb as well as Jan.MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0 -
Did you receive the invitation from Ebay to list items for free and pay only £3 maximum final value fees? We did and listed our most expensive items. If they sell then this offer will save us a fortune in final value fees. :jMortgage - £105,5000

We did, but I'm sure it was Max of £1? I could be wrong!!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0

Just checked and ours was definitely £3. Maybe different people got offered different amounts. Still a good saving though on more expensive items.Mortgage - £105,5000

To be honest our finances and money is my little switch off. I wouldn't settle if I hadn't had a quick look at things, so it helps me to feel like its just a normal time.
Anyway onto important matters. 19pTT'd this morning and at £14.71 I'll definitely fail with my £20 TT monthly target. Got 5 TT's left for Jan and £5.29 to find, as £1 is my maximum TT amount I'm done for!
You all know that I'm tempted to round up to £20 though don't you...??

Not seen the offer for Feb as well - yet, although did get the whole of Jan free listing and then the max fee £1 for 2 days only - so ended some items (the ones that I would have had to pay more than a £1 in fees) then re-listed them.
And I was reading another thread and they stated they had an offer which was 1p yes 1p total fee :eek::eek:How did I miss that one:( or should I say - I wasn't invited to that one
