Be warned. Debt busting becomes addictive1

vinted rant: why don’t some buyers click “everything is ok” when they have received and checked their delivery? It takes a second, and sellers have to wait 2 days to be paid if the buyer doesn’t bother.
Some take days to collect too. I’ve had an item I sent on Boxing Day, just sitting in a shop waiting to be collected for a week now. I’ll also bet the buyer doesn’t click “everything is ok” when/if they collect it.
i need that £6 to feed my debt busting addiction!!MBNA 237.47/13997.47

Agree with you, I do it for all my vinted purchases to ensure the sellers get paid out quickly but never has it happened to me. Reminded me to relist some items today, better pictures and a new item. I have been following a big Vinted seller on TikTok and using their tips.Baby Step 6/7 . £16000 saved and invested. £47,000 deposit paid on new home DEBT FREE !!!

First day of 2025 with no Vinted sales 😩
I’ve slipped on uploading so have set myself a target of 12 uploads on Sunday. I have 3 parcels to drop off on Sunday morning, then home to upload a dozen more.
I’ve edited my signature to show total debt repaid so far this year and my reducing mortgage. I’m behind on the items decluttered. I intend to start car booting once the weather improves. I could do two per week locally, and one further a field if I can find a carboot sale on a Saturday. I need to knuckle down on the debt repayments.
Im finding it hard to get motivated. The flat needs a good sort and tidy. I’m doing it in ten minute chunks whilst listening to a podcast, but I find I’m making more mess than I’m clearing. Any tips on a good tidying method when everywhere looks like an episode of Hoarders?MBNA 237.47/13997.47
