Hey all, can I join in?
So far I have had five things sell on eBay this month and have another 6 waiting to finish now.

I've also scheduled 3 more listings for tonight so have a bit of a head start." :-)

Hopefully that'll be 14 things listed by tomorrow so I now need to find another 15 things to list this month and get cracking!

I will try re-listing anything once and then car boot/charity anything remaining :-)

Absolutely everyone is welcome to join at any time! Lets all get rich! Or maybe less poor at least!

Best of luck!!

Hi,

I've just listed 10 more things so that 23/29 so far. I have 20 free listings and 20 free scheduled listing. I'll take advantage of these

between half an hour and an hour before everything end. fingers crossed

I listed 11 things last night and have bids on 3 this morning so that's fab, only 99p starting bids but there is time to get more bids in hopefully.

Got to take some pictures of a few bits today. Might have a poke around the kids room later and just see if there are any clothes they have outgrown, I know my youngest just had a spurt as he has had some new t-shirts recently.

I hope everyone had a good Sunday night on our Debt Free Ebay mission. It seems a lot of you like schedule auctions to end on a Sunday night, as that's a popular buying time. As I've mentioned, I've tended to use a Buy It Now format. And with only 3 items selling during last week, I had another 3 items sell last night, which does support Sunday evening as a popular online shopping time.

Anyway, my previous 3 items went for £73, last night I made an additional £14. So upto £87 after P&P, but before fees, so over the moon with that.

Listing done for today .... but stay motivated DFWEbayers. :T

Was really expecting some posts last night! Well I had a funny one - something I put on for 99p went for £26. Something I put on for £40 didn't sell! I instantly resisted it as a buy it now with free postage as I did have 8 watchers and woke up to someone having bought it. Very happy! X

Listed 2/28
Sold 2/2
Profit £66

Omg!!! Well done guys!!! I have staggered mine out a bit to help me manage trips to the post office (I don't drive so I can't carry a lot) and have a few bits ending tonight.

So pleased for you!!!

I've listed 4 more items. I did a higher start price for my coat, even though it doesn't fit it was an expensive coat and I will be sad to see it go. I've a few more bids on the bits I put on yesterday, lots of watchers and a question about combining postage. Seems to be going well so far.

It's a 4 mile drive to my local post office so ideally I want everything ending really close together and hopefully I can post on shopping day or when I have a reason to be in town for something.

I'm sure we're all trying to save on the packaging element, so what interesting packaging solutions are we trying:

I've recylced some Jiffy bags,

......but the most interesting one so far has been...

a kitchen roll tube, flattened out, with item inserted (wrapped in bubble wrap), and both ends folded over and taped. Looks pretty good, and more than robust enough.

Keeping the cost of packaging down is key to maximising our benefits.

I reuse jiffys and also use gift bags from gifts. I also wrap in (clean) bin bags and sticky tape up like crazy!

For packaging I use carrier bags. Well bags for life. I'm useless with parcel paper (had been doing that for months) and whenever I order things from shops it comes in plastic so I thought why not. It's cleared me out of carrier bags too made me less annoyed about forgetting my bags x
