I'm so far behind with this challenge at the mo I only have one thing listed at the moment although should hopefully bring in around £70.
Have lots of things sorted though and I am off work for the next week so I will be ebaying like a mad woman.

didn't think about it being bank holiday today, bad planning on my part when i listed to end for so early tody only made £2, bit disappointed as normally sell similar for more but hey, after fees i guess it's still a pound odd profit.
hope everyone else is doing better!Who says I have to be normal?

Hi All
Just come across this thread and it sounds like a really brilliant idea!! I would love to raise £5000 towards clearing some debt! I am in the middle of clearing out my house and my mum's so have loads of things I could sell and would love to join the challenge but haven't the first clue about Ebay.....
Does anyone know if there's an relevant info guides in the forums that I can read through? I've been looking for the past half hour, but haven't found any yet.
Any info appreciated. Thanks.DFW Nerd 145 - Proud to be dealing with my debts.0 -

There is an Ebay forum on here which is worth a look. Towards the bottom of the list of forums.Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

I have not made any money yet but I'm not put off!!! All ye out there in similar position do not falter- your turn for making £££ on ebay will come- I@m convinced that mine will. Normal listing is better than shop though.
I'm going to list lots of stuff today and tomorrow and Sunday so I can do 7 days and get the weekend listings-near-the-end trade. Hopefully.
I'm so glad to read about others being successful.
