February Challenge: List 1 thing a Day on Ebay

jess444_2

5 things ending today and none of them sold - oh well I am 37.50 better off than at the beginning of the month so all I not lost. I am up for the March challenge, fingers crossed I can declutter and make a bit more money.

MERFE

I've managed to list 30, bids on 4 already, some old magazines I wasn't even sure they'd sell so will be glad to see them go. I have 11 items finishing tomorrow or Tuesday and they are at £19 but hoping for some last minute bidders on them too.

Ooh I've got a stack of bbc history magazines.... Didn't want to recycle them as it seems a shame, maybe I'll list them and see if I can gets some pennies back! Thanks for the idea!

All but three items have gone this evening- sold 13 out of 16 this week

End of the month total sold is £223.43, so after fees for eBay & PayPal I think I'm £170 up this month! All popped in the house deposit pot!

March will kick off with a few shorter listings and then a huge amount going to car boot sale before my tenancy is up on my flat!

Will sign up to the march challenge shortly in earnest! Well done everyone & thanks for all the tips and encouragement

Thanks for this thread, I managed to list at least one thing a day for the rest of the month since joining the the challenge and sold a fair few. Keen to carry on in March

MERFE

£11.45 for 3 items that finished tonight and got bids of £19.52 on 6 that finish in the morning. So pleased with how its gone, definitely going to sign up for March x

Oh merfe after all of that I only managed 10! But managed to sell my pram... But to France a bit of a tricky one. I didn't have international postage on there. She's allowed to buy but not to pay. Blimey oh reillys trousers x

MERFE

Oh goodness, how much will the postage be? I hope you are able to get round the paying somehow.

I put 2 more on this evening before the deadline so 32 altogether, one has someone asking about a buy it now price already but its OH item so he'll probably pocket the cash and leave me to pay the ebay fees, that is what usually happens.

Well to finish off my February challenge, I sold 11 items, still have 8 actively on there (inc. 5 I put on using the 30% off final fees offer!). But I made over £65 in February, which is not bad at all!

Turning my attention in March to now selling clothes via the secondhand shop near me and also music magpie-ing CDs.

For me, it's not just the making money that I'm enjoying (although it is nice when something goes for more than expected!), it's the decluttering that I'm liking too!

Well done everyone!!

Final tally for me for February after postage and all the fees was £62 profit for around 20 items. Absolutely chuffed!

On with the decluttering for March!
