    Welcome girlieindebt :D

    Just decide on a target, then post a reply and you'll be given a number by kashton (whose idea the challenge was) to put in your signature with your progress!

    Good luck! I've just had my first batch of ten auctions finish and I'm up £58.86 already, dead chuffed. Having a challenge or two makes the saving money thing a lot more fun! :p

  • well i posted my first lot of items today and i think this is the first time i've actually worked out the profit AFTER taking off all costs!!!

    but 13 items listed, 8 sold and a profit so far of... £17.72, so not so bad. A long way to go though

    Does anyone know if the free gallery listing is still on? although noticed a 5p listing day coming up soon. Which do you think is better?

    Thanks
    Debts all paid!!!:j

    I'd say 5p listing day is better. My items aren't really selling any better with gallery than they did without.
  • hi thanks for replying

    it's confirmed what i had thought, the less the listing costs the better i hope!
    i'm going to sort through and get a pile of things ready to be listed to try and get a big dent into that target of mine!!!

    :j I've just noticed the 5p listing day this Thursday. I've got some items waiting to go on and I know they probably won't make much money if anything, so every little bit saved helps!! 4 out of 8 of my current items are selling at nearly £20 and there are still 6 days to go. :T

    Well anouther batch of my items finished last night. Not doing too bad so far.
    I have sold 25 items and I have a profit of £70.15.
    I listed a whole lot more last night as well as I like the idea of people trying to find a bargain at the last minute and then discovering what else I have.

    Will save the rest untill Thursday now.:j
