    Hello, would I be able to join please?
    I have quite a large shortfall in my wages each month and am aiming to make it up with EBay.
    I've missed the first quarter of the year, so could I please aim for £750? I'm not sure if that's too adventurous though, it sounds a lot!
    I have my first lot of items finishing on Monday - fingers crossed!

    I have now added you to the list in post 2. Happy selling!

    I tried to take my stuff to the charity shop and offered to a homeless person but they both said no

  • Thanks Applemuncher! :)

    Last nights eBay sales were

    £72.43 !!

    Was very exciting sitting watching the bids go up at the end haha

    I don't have anything finishing for a couple of days now, and they don't seem to be getting many bids... Must get some new items listed today...

    That takes my total to:

    £122.82 / 750

    Woohoo!! :j
    Debt number 1 - 0/360 :(

  • Helloooo! I am now on £453.36 :) did an ebayathon and now I've got loads ready to carboot just hoping for some nice weather! x

    Santander Credit Card 0 left to pay YIPPEEEEE :j
    Barclaycard Credit Card 7067 left to pay
    Santander Bank Loan 6437 left to pay
  • A few more eBay items sold for £43.18 -grand total £587.12 / £1000
  • My EBay total over the weekend came to £87.69
    Which brings my grand total up to:

    £210.51 / 750 :j

    Can't believe how quickly it's adding up!!
    Although I don't have anything listed at all now so it's going to be a while before I get to add anything to my total again :(

    I shall do some re-listing tonight I think though and hopefully some of those will sell second time round...

    I haven't been around much, some health issues and some family issues meant I lost my mojo. Well I got an offer off e bay for half price on final fees so I got myself in gear and did some listing. I have bids up to just over £500 at the moment so I am glad ebay gave me that push. I still have 8 days to go for most of the items so fingers crossed that it goes higher.

    Well done everyone, it must add up to alot of money everyone has raised now.

    I just realised I will be over the £1,000 when the auctions are over :j Not that far off my aim of £1,500. I can't quite believe it and when you add it to the almost £1,000 I made last year I have to say thank you for the inspiration and motivation :beer:u

    My ebay sales went better than I thought and I am almost there! £1470 so £30 to go to reach my target. I didn't quite make the £1,000 last year so I am thrilled to bits.

    Good luck everyone.
