I've lost my income...

I've just lost my income and I have to quickly find some kind of money source. Without any money it's like my debt is growing like £50 a day :eek:
  • Do you know any websites where I could leave links to my ebay offers for free (because I have no money right now)?
  • Someone told me that some volunteers can "even help with job searches", so do you know anything about this kind of groups? It would help me a lot or they'll suggest me what shall I do.
  • Do you know any other people who could help me somehow (people who know some channels of contacts with other people)?

    Re your question number 1- ebay has millions of users, if an item isn't seen on there posting ti to a unrelated website with fewer views is not likely to help.

    if your items on ebay don't sell then try other outlets like facebook selling or local small ads

    What else could I do to online get £50 a day to pay my bills (I'm not able to travel)?
    Where could I find someone who could help me?
    Citizens Advice Bureaus are not picking up any calls where I live.

    £50 a day? That's not going to happen quickly or easily.


    Are you entitled to any benefits to give you an income, albeit a low one? Any normal jobs you can apply for?


    You're not going to be able to just start up a business and instantly earn £50 a day, that takes work.


    What products have you been selling on ebay? Where else can you sell them?

    No x 2
    What products have you been selling on ebay?
    Car parts (I can't link it here).
    Do you know any places where I could leave a link to my auctions for free?
    Where else can you sell them?
    I don't know. I know only, that I'm not able to afford advertising.

    Leaving a link to your auctions won't make much difference, if any. you have already been told that.


    You'll need to find another way to sell them and get over the idea of earning £50 a day

    What kind of another way? What do you mean?
    What could I do? Do I have to end up on the street?

    You are not going to get any quick answers on here, if it was quick and easy to start up and immediately bring in £50 a day then we would all be doing it.

    If you are not getting benefits that enable you to live then there has to be a reason, do you have absolutely no other income apart from your ebay business?

    Your posts are far too sketchy to give any real advice and you would probably do better seeking help from an appropriate government or charitable body.

    So far I have no income at all - not even from ebay.
