my MAD e-bay challenge

purplevamp

Just added another 8. It's taken me over an hour to write them up as my poota is being a !!!!!! atm, and also having to look up the new postage prices (goes up next month) for UK, Europe and R.O.W. Post office haven't got their new leaflets yet so had to go onto Royal Mail site and keep flitting between the pages :mad: . Then my poota kicked me off - luckily I had just saved the last one on Turbo Lister. As you can see I'm back on.

Hi everyone.
Ive been reading this thread with awe but only 1st post on here. I would love to join the mad ebay challenge but would like to try my hardest and 'see how it goes'. Would this be ok? Am on Easter hols at mo and have listed 25 items since Mon. Got bids up to £12.50 on 6 items so ahead of the 99p an item as it stands.
I told OH about this challenge and he was well impressed. Trouble is @ 99p an item we would need to find 35000 items......... Good job someone invented OT at work eh??

Hi everyone,
Things have stalled a bit, haven't had a bid in 3 days but got a few people watching so fingers crossed.
Am going to list more items this weekend, though.
Welcome to the newbies - let us know how you get on.

Hi,
I'm finally going to get around to listing something on ebay tonight!!
I tried to relist a load of stuff that I'd tried to sell in October last year, but it wouldn't let me and I have deleted the photos from my pc in my mad rush to tidy up my desk top!!
Anyway, I have about £50 or so worth of tesco clubcard vouchers. I thinks its may they can't be transfered, or something. So I'm going to list those tonight cause they're easy and hopefully that will kick start me off. I'll have to get the other stuff out of the loft and take more photos and relist. There's about 50 things up there....
How many days are you doing your auctions for? Do you think 3 day listings are better than 10 or does it depend on what you are selling? I could do with a quick bit of advice before I actually list....?

Oh and was there some sort of spreadsheet for tracking ebay profit? If there is, does anyone know where I can get a copy...?

Cheers .....and happy ebaying...!

I've listed another 9 items today so 31 in total now. Its so much fun making cash out of something you would have been quite happy to bin!! Bids of £40 on 8 items so far so fingers crossed for the rest!
Thanks for the support oopalah, much appreciated!!

Just added up all my ebay sales for March....drum roll please...


£208.25!!!


Ok so I've sold half my life away, but wow that feels good! And I've still got another 8 things selling which should bring in another £50. And if the Nintendo Wii sells, that should be another big £250!

My theory is, the sooner I clear my debt the sooner I can buy back the things I miss the most from what I've sold...and so far I haven't missed any of them!

Keep it up folks, easy money!

Out of the 8 items I have on atm 4 have bids totalling over £7 and I have 22 watchers :j . Still got 9 days to go...
