I've just read an email from eBay with an offer for 100 free listings and 'no more than £1 final valuation fees'. Must read the Ts and Cs but might be worthwhile.

They don't give much time to get organised though, it's only for today and tomorrow and I've got loads of non money-making things that I must get done today:o

I might try lexbubbles' way by putting some things on BIN instead of my usual auctions. That way I'm not racing against time to get the listings live by tonight as I generally always end my auctions late on Sunday evenings.

yes I had that, and someone on the mse ebay thread has £3 as do others.

i have started listing stuff on BIN as noticed stuff not getting bids for higher than what I minimum list at. So might as well stick on bin for what I would like and leave it for 30 days. can reliset when free listings

I've got that as well! Guess I should dig out some more stuff today then :rotfl:

And yeah Aesop I stick mine up for 30 days so I can just relist the following month rather than having them only last a week and it being 3 weeks until I can relist

Like you Kantankerus, I've Never used a delivery service for the same reasons - It just seems a shame to leave £18 "sitting on the table"

Is the voucher transferable Procrastinator?

If so, sell it for a slightly reduced rate on Zeek app or fleabay. I even sell the farm foods vouchers that come through our door on the free advertising leaflets. People who don't get them, but shop there can make a good saving if they are willing to pay you even half of what the vouchers cost. Just be very clear and open about what you are selling.

You may get less than it's worth, but if you dont shop there, then its not worth anything to you anyway. Cash in hand, however...

Cheers CBC, I had that too. Like Lex, I tend to stick with BIN too as I always get more for it if I check the previous sale amounts and what its currently going for, then price competitively. I reserve the auction feature for total dross that I haven't been able to shift but will still be glad of a quid for.

So, another 15 Am@zon gc claimed today. 83p and 55p fleabay profit. £9 worth of xmas items returned for a full cash refund today. So total now... £86.11

Slightly irritatingly, there were £3 and £4 missions available in the store I visited, BUT, the app I was using seemed to think the store itself was located about 1 mile away in the middle of the bay!!! Which meant it wouldn't log me as being on site to carry out the job. Humph!

Ho hum...I'll go try and lists some high value things this afternoon to make the most of the £1 max fleabay fees. One door shuts, another opens etc etc....

Can anyone recommend a particular type of fitbit?

Really debating on getting one. The MSE part of me is saying its a gimmick and the novelty will wear off but I'm really tempted. Partly because I have just got back to doing some classes at the gym and it will motivate me more. (Even more so if I connect it to that site that gives you points for being active.

Hmm should I , shouldnt I? I have the cash but Ive been a bargain hunter for so long that I have to justify spending on a gadget.

Or is it because Im a Libran :rotfl:

I bought a Fitbit Charge HR about 10 days ago and I love it! It was really eye opening to find out how much I walk regularly, and it motivates me to walk more. I love the Heart Rate monitor and am surprised at how often my heart rate is in the Fat Burn and Cardio modes, just from walking. I asked the sales person in the shop (and then bought it online cos it was cheaper!) why I would need a heart rate monitor as I couldn't work it if it was worth the extra expense. She said that the train of thought is that if you're going to measure your fitness, why would you buy one without a HR monitor. I'm not entirely convinced, but I love mine. There was an article in the Daily Mail last week where someone tested four of them (Fitbit and generic brands) and gave her verdict so you could find that article on the DM website and see what you think.

I checked the prices on Pricerunner and got the best deal.

Oh, and I opted for the size S and wish I got the L. I'm a size 10-12 and I wear it in the seventh of ten holes.

Plus it's a watch...my Swatch broke and I needed a new one for work so that's why I bought a Fitbit when I did. I was like you and swaying for a while but I'm delighted with it!
