  • Hi, I've listed 2 things today and taken pictures of 8 pairs of shoes. I might list them later if I get chance.

    Feeling happy that I'm 2 down, 27 to go :)

    I usually start auctions at 99p but I've decided to list my shoes at a higher start price as they are all brand new and cost at least £50 each. I was thinking of a starting price of £10. I found it hard taking the pictures as I love them all and don't want to let them go, but its time as they will never be worn.

    I have other shoes that are used but in good condition, I might list these also but they will be 99p start price.

    I'm feeling excited to see if I can list 29 things this month and see how money I can make. none of it will be wasted, half for debts, hald for savings :)

    Bit of encouragement. I'm feeling good as my bids on Sunday ended on £116! Not everything sold and my wardrobe brought in most of the money but still fantastic! I've found eBay brilliant for debt busting - payments throughout the month keep me happy.
    Shall we do posts in colour?

    Hey,

    so today I have listed 13 things :) 2 pairs of ghd straighteners and 9 pairs of shoes. If I get the start price for everything, then the total will be £350. I started both the straighteners at £100 as they are brand new and cost around £140 each. I think all the shoes were £50 ish or more and have never been worn. I'd be happy getting the start price for everything, more would be great. If they don't sell then I'll look at the start prices.

    I'm really pleased that I've made a good start with listing things today.

    If I get time tomorrow, I am going to list some clothes and books. Be great to get to 29 things in the first week :) guess it will be easier going to the post office with a load of stuff, instead of going several times.

    Also I love crafts and making things, so thinking about making some things to list.

  • Hi,

    I'm feeling really pleased with myself today, obviously pleased that I listed 13 items earlier. After I put my son to bed, I had a rummage in my dressing table, I hardly ever look in there. well, I found about 15 things to sell. They are low value bits and pieces but every little helps towards my goal. I thought about listing them tomorrow but instead I will do it every Sunday evening and have a 7 day listing. today's listings is for 5 days so that they end on Sunday. If I try and list every Sunday, hopefully I'll get maximum amount for my items and be able to send several at the same time.

    Also I've decided instead of doing scheduled listings, I will create the listing and press save instead of continue (on phone app) then on Sunday night I can submit all the things I've listed over the week.

    I haven't looked in wardrobe yet, maybe that's a job for tomorrow :)
