    Sold an item on eBay but things are slow on eBay at the minute!

    Anyone else having any luck?

    Not really, all depends on your total items listed. I have 103 and sold 3 this week, but even 1 sold is better than none, glad to have some ££'s in exchange for the items.
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    That's a lot of items listed! Well done!!! Do you usually do bidding or buy it now?

  • Mostly BIN but a few on 1 week listings with bids, I can only do BIN's as I parcel them up and my mum takes them to the PO for me, otherwise I would need to list them all 1 week bids ending at the weekend so its one trip to the PO for me. Still very slow but am grateful for the items leaving the house.

    Very true! Great clearing out the house!

    I sold an item but then my husband asked me to post something at the post office!!!!! Raging that my profit was offset!

  • Better offset than at a loss :D If you hadn't sold that item . . . . . . . . .
