eBay Neutral Christmas Savings Challenge

No probs moyilla will send it to you!!!

I have sold around £32 worth of stuff (including postage but excluding fees) so that after postage will be about £18.00 which by my reckoning is about 42% of my total christmas spend up to now....!!!

Hi guys, is it too late to join? I'm totally embarrassed to say that I didn't even realise this board was here until someone on DFW mentioned it!! :eek: How terrible is that!?!:o

Anyway, I have only spent about £15 on prezzies so far, I am NOT organised at all! This will motivate me I think, and set me in good stead for next year....

I'd like to start at Christmas stocking level, but is it ok to upgrade later if I reach it?

Thanks

PS - JamTart, I'll pm u for a copy of ur spreadsheet too - thanks

Ill be joining this! I have masses which needs to go. Ill be buying as many pressies as I can at tesco.com/wines/direct too... all the extra points and discounts will mean I may well make more than I buy/sell too!

i done this last year and made a fortune,i started buying stuff to sell on ebay and this year i opened a shop up,i got a week long break in paris in april and im off to bulgaria tomorrow for a fortnight all paid for with ebay,when i return i will start the christmas selling.
good luck to everyone else trying it for the first time.
you will probably find the thing that you think nobody will want will sell and really surprize you with how much they fetch.

remember its all in the listing title.

Ive this morning found a set of wicker baskets I bought in tesco ( value- about a fiver I think) and Ive decided to buy lots of BOGOF's when I do my tesco shop on anything 'hamper' like....( toiletries etc) and use the free one for the pressie!practically free presents for people who would appreciate them, tesco points too

Great Idea Lilmiss

Dont forget to try and get hold of the health and beauty leaflets in tescos because they have vouchers in for money off and if you go onto the discount vouchers board - there is a thread all about Tesco H & B vouchers - and they will tell you the best way to use them hence saving you even more money off your toiletries for your hampers.

Good Luck with your hampers I am sure the receipients will be thrilled with them

lol I'm the opposite....can't get the hang of the Boots vouchers but am flying with Tesco....;) literally lol I'm hoping to have a trip to New York with them

It doesnt really help not having a boots advantage machine in our local store
