    I had a really good night on eBay too - like you, Jamtart, my bids exceeded my expectations - yay! You must feel delighted with your monies - well done :)
    I took around £100, but I'm yet to work out postage and fees.

    I get a bit jittery until people have actually paid though. I must learn to be more patient. I think that becuase I pay within 10 mins of the end of an auction I expect everyone else to do the same. There's a lesson in there for me somewhere!
  • LOL thats like me too.........I always pay straight away but some people who I have dealt with dont send a cheque until a week later :(

    Well done on your earnings bigpaws :) Thats super duper !!!!!

    Have you spent anything on pressies already?..how much do you need to pay out for christmas?...dont worry about me I'm just nosey ;)

    Mine all went mental in the last 15 seconds - auction snipers!! did you know 25p is better than nothing?! what is it you are selling?

    Yes indeed 25p is better than nothing! I'm seeling odd bits and pieces - a couple of kids games, a bag, some shoes, some books. I think you are right - you said in an earlier post that you think things go better when you put them on in groups - like all clothes or all books - so my next lot will be like that. We'll see what happens I'm sure there will be a fair few last minute bids. I know when I bid I only bid in the last ten minutes or not at all!:D

    sold 2 more items -yippee!
    I usually have a wardrobe declutter every few months and then sell on my shopoholic evidence-perfumes, bits of makeup, bags sandals and clothing.Also helps having a 22 year old sis who only wears things a couple of times and then dumps them with me, I have sold a couple of pairs of sandals recently and with that money i can get some winter shoes and partially used perfume sell well too.
    erm!!-I keep getting the urge to spend my paypal funds.
    Love can tame the wildest

    Just spent another £24 on Xmas presents, but got LOADS for it. Have made a brilliant hard boiled sweets sweety box for my dad for under £6, it looks great! so pleased with my £24 haul. Looking forward to seeing how much I have in profit from last nights little eBay flurry! i estimate £100 though! yay! Really pleased up to now with how well I've done, never thouught I'd make it to £100 profit, and here I am at nearly £200 profit! wahoo! thanks for keeping me motivated and inspired guys!

    spreadsheets will be a-coming don't worry guys! i tend to wait until about 10 people have PMd me and send it all at once as it take a swhile to attach to the e-mail. Hope no one minds the slight wait!!!
