    good evening all!
    33 items posted on ebay, they finish next sunday evening, already got a couple of bids (only £1 ish on 3 items) but its a good start! Plenty of watchers too. Hopefully I will be busy in the post office next Monday morning! Fingers crossed for some more bids. Its all only cheap stuff (kids clothes and bits) but if I can get £2 an item then thats £60 ish (- fees). Less clutter, more space, more money for me, win win!!
    Happy selling :)

    I have got bids on two of my items, nothing on the other two. I must brave listing again this week, it was such a struggle last week and I'm not sure if its me or ebay. Still at least I have got some bids so makes me feel more motivated.

    After nearly a year I still haven't persuaded DH to join in and he is the one with all the "clutter" mine is nearly gone. I was hoping seeing the money roll in would inspire him but in the 10 months or so I have been doing this he has let me sell one item belonging to him and I don't know how many parcels have arrived for him. Hoarders are a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mumps - i feel your pain, my OH thinks sorting things out just involves moving them from 1 room to another.

    Even that would be an improvement, mine won't even discuss it let alone move it.

    I've sold some old perfume bottles, McDonalds happy meal toys, stamps that I collected when I was a child, long long ago, DVDs, books, some boots and I can't think of anything else.

    I have done really well on ebay, have been selling low cost items to get my feedback built up and it seems to have worked. I have made about £230 today, I have to work out fees and postage but it should be very close to that. That will take me to over £270 so not a bad start and its still only January.

    Clutter reducing nicely as well.
