YAYYYY!!! Ebay Final Sales!!

I got £506 for the stuff I sold on Ebay - I now have listed some more items and they are up to about £40 already

I soooooo hope to pay thie M&S debt off - I can Manage another £1500 this month and I am paying it straight to the card instead of keeping it and then have the danger of spending it

    Hi Karatedragon, It's a great feeling when your ebay listing returns good money, the only thing I really grudge is the fees. But hey ho, if it helps us bring in extra needed pennies then it's all good I guess.

    My listing is currently at £300 proffit with three hours left. If all goes to plan, it'll pay off my electricity bill and gas!

    I cleared my loft out and sold some old things - mainly childhood toys like lego - they were complete boxed sets and were fetching £30 to £60 a set plus railway models - I also sold my old Nokia mobile phone which had GPS for £50 this was locked to the 3 network though plus my old MP3 player which fetched £40.

    I think I can pay the card of completely this month but will be left with
    -£7.22 in the bank but my £250 overdraft limit with the Coventry Building Society is interest free but I might just not pay the card of fully this month.

    When this is paid off I still want to post in the Debt Free Wannabes forums as theres some lovely supportive people here and I love to read when people have paid things off - I hate the way banks seem to allow people to get into dept out of their depth.
