    Wooohooooooo! :j

    I had to come and share this with you, my MAD ebay bunch! All 23 of the items I had listed sold today - for a total of £194!! :D I know, I can't believe it either! One woman's rubbish really is another man's treasure. It's unbelievable what people will buy.

    So, that takes my total towards my holiday up to £628. And there's still nine months to go, so I'm positive.

    Right.. got to raid my junk box to get some more stuff on asap. Hurrah! Well done to everyone else too. :T

    Congrats you have done well!:T

    I must get listing more items as I only have one on ebay and that finishes in 2 hours

  • I've just found this thread, what a great idea.

    I'm up for joining this, I don't have any debts but I do need to make some money so I can take my son on holiday and there is also a course I'd like to do later in the year.

    I'll set a target of £1,000 - I'll start listing tomorrow - I've got a house full of 'things'
    I won't buy it if I can make or borrow it instead

    Hi purplefiona,
    I am am sure I read somewhere that if you have thing in a shop they do not come up in a search. What shop owners do is list a few things normally and when people search for these they link through to the shop. Hope this makes sense. You might be best asking for more advice on the Ebay forum. Good luck.
