would that be the thing with the BT phones on it? i did that. nice products!

so yeah, so thats £3 for me, plus one of the items i listed on eBay last weekend is doing well. i have had it on there 3 times before at a £4.99 starting price and it didnt sell. i started it at 99p at the weekend and its currently at £6.50, ifs funny how things like that happen!

also, bought my mum some flowers for her birthday from bunches.co.uk via quidco and earned £2.43 in cashback, plus i got 10% from googling for a voucher code. so what would have cost me £17.98, i got for an overall price of £13.75, thats a saving of £4.23 or 23.5% off

Motivation wore off before I finished the kitchen (& it's only tiny!) been watching sportsrelief and now going to donate this weeks earnings to that. I generaly get alittle p****d off with the format & presentation of these things, but the Annie Lennox slot with the little girl has really touched me. Hopefully this will allow me another day or two of motivation (if Ciara can spare it) to make up the difference towards my debts!!

Weebit, you said 'plus i got 10% from googling for a voucher code'

Can you tell us more please? So if you want to buy something you Google to find a voucher code? How?

I think weebit might mean the Google checkout. Some online retailers use it and it means you save money. it differs from company to company.

Whilst i'm on i wanted to ask what you think.

I have an item on ebay at the moment which still has 3 days to go but a bidding war seems to have started between 2 'buyers'. One has no previous feedback, the other has 1....

i know everyone has to start somewhere but i don't want to get ripped off. I just thought it was a bit mad to be out bidding one another with 3+ days to go.

If one of these guys wins it I might end up sending it RD so that i have proof of reciept but i'll be out of pocket then.

what do you guys think?

I've had so much trouble with zero or low feedback bidders on Ebay that I always put a sentence in the descripton saying I won't accept bids from anyone with less than 5 feedback unless they email me first. When they email I can 'check them out' a bit and make sure they know what they are doing before they bid.

By the sound of it your two bidders don't understand the best way to bid and if they go too high you may end up with a non payer anyway. I started doing Ebay when it was almost new, and in those days a lot of people started bidding and outbidding each other quite early in the listing -its all changed now though.

If the winner pays, I would risk using Recorded Delivery, - its only 70p more - or otherwise you could try and build up some sort of email rapport before you post out the item.

I agree with asset - they both seem to be new & not understand about leaving it until last minute! Also they will possibly bid enough to cover RD.

Yay! I got a £20 Body Shop voucher y'day. I heard the Body Butter goes really well with toast :) Mmmm... Body Shop body butter with marmite on toast.

Good to see how people are doing. Don't be too hard on yourself if you feel you're not doing too well. If you're not happy with what you've made so far, give it to me, please :-) The important thing is that you're giving it a shot. Plus, there's always next month as well, remember? And the month after that...

Nice post this morning - no bills and my £12 of Halfords vouchers came through from Toluna - only took for ever for me to make that much!
