    my dress sold for 22.87, am so pleased I only paid 24.99 for it last year on ebay as brand new with tags and wore it once, OH was upset when I said I put it on there cos he likes it but was pleased we almost got the money back on it. I'm now up to 69 pounds profit, hopefully the nearly new sale next sat will really bump that total up.

    Well, still stuck around the £15 mark but I have a few good lots to put up when I come back from holiday including a silver necklace, some rayban sunnies and a gift set of bath stuff I got given for my birthday, that I don't really like, which should sell for a few pennies! :)

    I've now got 21 items listed, that's the good news. The bad news is - no bids yet.

    No lots finished today, but I have bids on my current lots for £15.49 so far, with 3 more finishing tomorrow. One bid is from a lady who bought something from me at the beginning of the week and left me really nice feedback today, and she's obviously had a look at what else I've got, so thats made me really happy, I don't think I've ever had a repeat buyer before :o:D

    I've now got 7 items on eBay.... only 1993 to go.... :o

    I have £24.31 after ebay fees etc and that's after selling 5 items, but one was my old mobile phone which got £15.00. I'm going to keep the money in there until I get enough in there to withdraw without a charge.

    Need to find some more items to list.....

    Got lots of bits and pieces but more suited for a boot sale.

    I have a total of 29 items on, with 8 finishing tomorrow. 12 of these items have bids on and many have watchers (but watcher don't mean anything as I've found out in the past). The total so far is just under £60 but I still need to take fees off of that. :j

    I've got one item for sale that weighs 3.7kg and cannot post it overseas as it would cost between £50-60. It's on the UK only site yet I've had 2 European bidders asking how much it is to send to them :doh:

    Everyone seems to be doing really well don't they?! Keep it up!

    well, my 3 items finished this afternoon. They sold for £176 but I've to takes fees etc off that. Hopefully it will be around £170. I'll add it to my total once they've paid...how exciting!
    I've also listed some things on Amazon. I need to look at books now and see if I can put some of those on too.
    Are you adding Amazon/carboots etc to your total too or just ebay?
    I couldn't decide cause I think I will need more than the 7000 to pay everything off...anyway, I'll see how it goes. I've personally never managed to sell much via Amazon so I'll decide if I manage to this time!!

    Happy selling everyone..

    Oh, sorry to hear about the scammers....I always get nervous until I've been paid!
