Ebay Challenge for March

Diane_239

i have listed loads of stuff on eBay and have made £200 so far in march and would like to try and make about anther £300 which will pay off my rent arrears.a good pair of kitchen scales is good for weighing small items go on royal mail web site put in the weight and this will give you a postage cost add on a bit extra for packageing.

OK - I've made £153.76 so far. I was actually shocked by the costs involved, I've never realised before but they come to £50, £17 listing/selling fees, £8 paypal fees, £28 postage fees.:eek: That's 25% of what I've made:rolleyes: wonder if there is a cheaper way to do things?!?!?! will have to investigate.:D

Have more things to list this weekend. Hopefully will still have the motivation.:A

Hi all.

Well, I am doing abysmally at this challenge. I've got 5 items on ebay ending tomorrow, but no bids and only 2 watchers so far. Probably a good thing, because I'd have to borrow the money from a friend to post them!

I paid 60p to post the DVD to CEX, so will have made a grand total of £2.40 when that cheque comes in :rolleyes: .

Going to spend the weekend scouring the house for something that someone might actually want to pay some money for!

So tomorrow I will be photographing the few bits I have found to go on so far then I will be hunting more stock.

Have just asked 'em to stop emailing me and go through the proper channels of complaint. To be honest I just think they're trying it on. But the first couple of emails were really aggressive and a bit weird. We'll see. Hopefully they'll go away now.;)

right reading this thread earlier on motivated me to get listing and I've got 11 items sitting on turbo lister waiting to be uploaded later on. Trouble is I think I've exhausted everything that I can possibly sell now!!! Have cleared everything out! Starting to get worried about where I can get extra bits to sell from!!! :-(
