    Yay, thank you :T, I have been waiting ages for my third star/bronze medal and now I have got a bronze and silver (even if they are *borrowed* from another DFWer)

    I had no intention of doing any ebaying this month until they did their 99p listing day, although given that I always add photos, it's never actually free!

    So, 24 items went on ebay, 4 are sold already including a bass at £300 so my savings have been given an unexpected boost and my spare room will soon have a empty corner in it that I can use!

    The remaining items close this weekend and all have watchers or bids already so I'm hopeful of a successful clearout and boost for the holiday spending money in June!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • Urgh well I had four items finish yesterday evening and none of them sold. Very disappointing. What I'll do is list some more on Saturday and relist those and see if they will sell.

    Well my total currently stands at £13.60 with them finishing on Sunday evening, unfortunately that is from 3 items. Not sure how much of our sons stuff will sell, oh well just means I'll have to keep it for next time round. (which is what I wanted to do anyway, but DH seems to think we don't have the room and "what happens if we have a girl?"

    Not sure I'm going to be anywhere near my £380 target, but heyho I'll have a bit towards it and with DH mystery shopping and £40 won on free bingo this month will be ok.

    My clothes listings aren't doing very well at all, maybe I just have bad taste!?!?!! :D

    Clothes are a bit hit and miss, I've found - I actually made losses on some of mine as we weren't allowed to include postage!

    I think you've got to try and find the right time for some stuff - I have a lot os strappy tops and 3/4 length trousers, so may need to wait until nearer the "summer" to list them.

    Still haven't managed to find a happy medium!! If some stuff doesn't sell, it may be worth keeping til Xmas (I know, it's a long way away) as people are always looking for bargin Xmas pressies!

    Hi all, had 9 items finish today, with a total of £49.91 (not including postage) so i'm very pleased as it was all stuff that i probably would have just thrown out or left in a box for the next 3 years!
  • I've finally worked out that I made £18.25 profit yeay. I really need to list more items tonight though or I'll never make any more money!

    Well done everyone - looks like we're having a mixed bad of successes - and not so successful 'baying experiences.;)

    Truly...how many times are you gonna relist? Think I'm only gonna do twice, then up to Oxfam, as I reallllllly wanna clear some wardrobe space.:D

    Someone paid £10 more than I paid for something originally today, so basically spent £35 on it, wore it maybe 20 times - soled for £45. Hope it wasn't one of you lot!!Will post updated earnings later today.:rotfl:
