Selling your unwanted bits and bobs....

in Debt-free wannabe
Hi all!

Other than Ebay and Amazon, is there anywhere else I can sell my bits that I no longer want/need in order to raise extra wonga? I've been a naughty girl and ebay kicked me off so I cant sell there - didn't like them anyway! :p

Thanks!

    You could always advertise things on Gumtree - www.gumtree.com

    They have a coventry/warwickshire section - http://coventry.gumtree.com/

    You could sell on eBid. Same idea as eBay but run by a different company.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    ebid seems to achieve quite low prices as hardly anyone goes there.

    if its a cheap item many local papers allow you to advertise under £100 items for free, check yours. I just sold an old fridge in the local paper for £10, wish I had put a higher price as had loads of calls!

    My paper - the Royston Crow - only allows one free ad per week, so this week its the microwave

    I hate ebay too lol

    They blocked my account but I couldn't do anything to unblock it as I was getting messages that it was 'for paying my seller fees not for paying sellers' but when I went to check what they were charging me I was told my account wasn't a seller account! All I could do was email ebay and they replied saying 2 people have said I hadn't paid, one was in 2006 which was settled and one was last Dec which was just stupid (he asked me when my payment would clear or he'd close the dispute with 'none paying' he did that anyway & now won't talk to me).

    Anyways I have a new account :)

    Me? I haven't paid my fees. :o I went on a bit of a selling frenzy a while ago without thinking about the charges and was hit with a whopping bill from them. I should've paid it but was having major cashflow probs. :o I still am lol!
