Ebay Challenge for March

JesaRose

I made £1.51 today profit from a sale of a CD on Play.com

Every little helps

Hi all

I have a weird thing on play.com

My box on the right that shows a summary says I have made 2 sales in the last seven days and 2 items to dispatch, but when I go to my sales and tell it to show me all I have only sold one thing this week. Also the summary says three items active and not sold but the show me all myt listings thing shows four.

Anyone else had this problem?? I just wondered if this happened to other people or whether I just got lucky this week - lol

My summary on the right never seems to tell the truth so I don't trust whatever it tells me, but I always check just in case I have missed something

I suspect its the same for everyone

Cool, thank you - I was worrying that something had sold and I had somehow missed it. That would be quite difficult though when I check my email a million times a day :rotfl:

Has anyone seen this - just noticed it today...

Add a gallery photo for free

From 18th - 31st March you can add a gallery photo next to your listing on the search results page for free. A buyer's more likely to bid when they can easily see what you're selling.
Whether you're an experienced seller or have never sold before, now's the time to take advantage of free gallery photos and get your listings noticed.

You were right to worry though - I just logged into my Play account and it said I had 2 items to be dispatched. I thought it was the usual misinformation but when I clicked on it, I have sold two items but not received an email about either one. They were from yesterday and the day before:eek:

Well, with a renewed sense of Spring in my step, I have just spent the last 1/.5 hours listing up 15 items on Turbo lister, ready to load up to eBay tomorrow evening.

I'm making more money selling stuff to my friends! After making #8 on eBay, I've made #65 through friends, so my #100 target is looking more reacheable now - yipee!

Hi everyone

I'm up to £303 on eBay, taking into account fees and assuming that they all pay up - still waiting for 8 buyers to pay but I'll give them a few days before I start chasing them up... I sold 120 items out of the nearly 300 that I listed.

I made £12 on the world's least attractive cat food tin, which originally came free with some cat food and had never been used!! It had pictures of 'rare breed' cats all over it, reproduced from paintings but in a collage-type print. I thought it would go for 50p, so I'm quite pleased I made money out of it, and that someone might get some use out of it :T

I think I'll do a 7 day relist on some of the things that were watched but didn't sell in the end, and hope to hit my £400 target by the end of the month. My boxroom is looking emptier than it has done in years

well done, Nevadagirl - that is excellent news. I bet you are loving that space you have created.
love the cat food tin LOL!

Im not in the challenge, but i have been challenging myself to get rid of stuff and put it on ebay 1st, if it didn't sell, i then put it on freecycle.

But from the 13th March - 23rd March i have made - £123.27, thats taking off postage cost and paypal fees etc, thats my total profit.

Im selling things that end in a days time and so far that total is £151.21. Its amazing what sells and what doesn't. Out of that £151.21 is a amp thats selling for £122 so far, i thought it was worth £0, kept telling OH to take it to the skip, boy am i glad he didn't listen to me on this occasion.
