    Azzzaa- I agree with carbootcrazy. The Arg0s cheap ones topple over really easily. Definitely not suitable for boot sales imo. Had to spend most of the time holding it up!

    I wont be going for them ones then! :D Thanks guys!!

    Cashed out £28.25 from Topcashback a few days ago. Need to put my Jumperoo up on Gumtree and a few clothes and shoes on ebay as well. I have £1.67 to cash out from Qmee and can actually cash out £5 to Paypal from Swagbucks I made in a few days, but might just wait for a further 713 points to cash out £10 closer to the end of the month. All of my earnings will be going towards my Barbados/Austin trip in October. Booked my flight from Barbados to Austin using 35,000 skymiles for me and my daughter and only had to pay £70 in taxes although only half of that got debited from my bank account.

    I haven't seen any opportunities to click on Qmee in weeks. Hope the extension in Chrome is still working?

    Afternoon all, I've posted a few more items on Facebook this afternoon and am contemplating throwing a few things on Ebay tonight if i can be brothered. I'm also sorting through all my boots ale stuff as i'm thinking about doing one this Sunday coming (weather permitting). I don't know If it's a nationwide thing but my town does something called 'Cash for clothes' they'll give you 50p a kilo for clothing, shoes, bags etc, if you find you cant sell things on Facebook or boot sale them it may be worth looking up this alternative :)

    Everyone is doing really well and to weigh in on the carboot discussion the most I have paid is £8 I think. But maybe the more expensive pitches you get to charge more for your tat?

    Anyway I was hoping someone could help......

    Back in the day I knew EBay inside out and back to front ie;the best time by far for an auction to end was Sunday evening and you would get more watchers and bidders if you sold as an auction not buy it now and started auction at 99p. Now however I am a bit lost :o I have only bought from EBay the last few years and always just use buy it now as I can then search the cheapest price and its instantly done (no waiting) but is BIN the best way to sell? Is it still best to start off with a crazy low price? And is there a good time for an auction to end if you put things on an auction.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated as I am becoming a demented fool refresh refresh refreshing my page to see if anyone has bought anything, bid or watched my items.

    Im in the same boat as you, i use to know Ebay like the back of my hand but now i think they've changed the rules to cut back on people making big profits on BIN's I'm under them impression that unless you're registered as a dealer or have a shop, you can put a buy it now price (at a fee) but you also have to put a starting bid (at a fee on anything over 99p) and if someone bids the 99p, it automatically takes away the Buy it now option, i could be completely wrong but from what i've seen now i think thats the case!
