    This is where I get naughty.... Your partner can have an account and still use your PayPal.
    Really annoying as my hubby's account used to get great deals every other week but then someone didn't like something and wanted a refund and I said no and got one bit of bad feedback and no more offers :( I don't know why I don't get any offers.

    16 listed
    2 sold
    £66 profit
    Loan 1 £5200/£8000
    Loan 2 £300/£5800
    Total £5500/£13800

    3 things listed this morning, need 4 more to be on track.
    Food for thought about free listings. I relisted a few things that didn't sell without thinking about this using my free listing allocation. Thank you for the reminder Lazer.

    woo just sold a bin item for £20, nice little boost. Got 4-5 more things to list that I am not sure about if they will even sell but worth a try for free listings, I think I am out when its not free to list though as I am just not sure as when I search there are lots of them available with no bids.

    How on earth did she manage that KK? Hope you get the charges back :)
    Just sold something quite precious to me :( but saves it being in storage! My selling pile is rather massive right now :-/ it's mainly clothes which is annoying and my listings don't even start til Sunday. So tempting to take it up the charity shop. Although I think they might ban me soon for taking too much down there. Halfway point on Sunday for the month!! Xxx

    Thanks Kitten.

    And so.... I have reached a dilema, which many of us will be approaching. I went onto ebay last night to list my item, and I was charged a listing fee of 35p (where as all previous items had been listed for free). this appears to be because I've used up all of my free listings for the month.

    Now, I'm not confident on my future items selling, and so I don't intend listing anything for the remainder of Feb. This will mean I do have plenty of items drafted for the start of March, ready for a free listing.

    Is this what you would do?

    Keep an eye on your ebay account and email, you might get a free listing invite. They usually appear early Sunday morning and generally allow you 100 free listings within a specific time frame. Doesn't always happen and not everyone gets an invite but worth watching out for.

    Good luck with it.
  • I'm scared of what carp the other half has in the loft, he's a hoarder!! Baby clothes and his son 9, CRT TV, endless boxes of tat his ex refused to throw away and then left it all behind when she did a bunk. Once I've done my things I'm going to go through it, I think fbook groups are good for baby stuff?

    Sent a huge batch at the post office, it's so expensive to post things but it all helps
