MARCH Make £10 extra a day challenge

pippo

Hi all,
I haven't done much over the last few days or even week:mad: although did play 2 free bingo sites alongside each other for a while last night before my head exploded!!!
Still suffering from the shock of over £1000:eek: in car repair bills and mine still needs a service and MOT! Unlike Batgirl I don't have a pot of savings for this as any extra at all goes off the ccs. Fortunately DH has been busy and has quite a few jobs lined up for the next few weeks which should help pay off the car bills - £850 was his!

So plans for the weekend are to muck out this pigsty of a house! Entertain BF's DH who is emigrating to join her next week - we are getting quite a few household things from them so that may make up for a year of no unnecessary spending, and maybe, just maybe, actually get organised and start ebaying like heck to make my money for this month:rotfl:
A bingo win from about 10 days ago should hit my account soon so my total may not look too bad!

Good luck every one!

PS any baby panda yet?

I've seen people selling on Amazon on this thread so I just put a CD on. I'm asking £3.99 and I thought I would also get postage, but Amazon's final figure that I would get if it sells is £3.40, and it looks as though I would have to pay the postage from this! Their fees seem to be £1.59, which looks like a bigger chunk than Ebay takes. Is Play.com any better? Where do other people sell CDs?

Play.com is fab - you just put in one figure which includes postage too and most CDs or DVDs cost 60p second class. I have made lots of money on Play.com and its so simple and quick too

The benefit of Amazon selling is that there are no listing fees (so if it doesn't sell you don't pay a penny) and it's a lot quicker and easier to list items than ebay (as no photos, elaborate descriptions etc.)

The downside is the higher selling fee and the need to work out postage costs accurately before you set the sale price, as it's easy to end up out of pocket!

There's a really useful support thread for people selling their stuff on Amazon HERE which is a great place to ask any questions you have. The first two posts on that thread give a lot of tips on maximising your profit on Amazon.

Good luck! :j

My update for today:

Daily clicks etc approx 40p :rolleyes:
Signed up to Betfair and have the £50 cashback tracking (fingers crossed!)
also decided to try match betting to make the most of the Betfair offer. :eek:
I've placed my qualifying bets which involves using my own money :eek: but, of I've done it correctly, I should end up with at least another £30 profit in the next few days! I'll keep this thread updated! :cool:

Should have said - no fees on Play.com unless the item sells, it stays on there for ages (I have had items on for over 6 months and am still selling some from back then), no photos needed, just a couple of drop down menus and one line sentence description

Where is everyone? We seem to be having a real mid month lull, which we have had previously but last month there was no quiet time, and I thought that was because we had so many people, but this month we have more people than ever and still the lull
