    It may be worth popping the 'car boot only' items on ebay (maybe on a half price listing day to save even more) as we usually find the things we value go for next to nothing, and the things we were going to chuck go for loads!! We just sold a scratty screwdriver for £25?!? LOL - it all adds up. Withdrew £370 from paypal today, after ebay fees but before postage so some to take off yet. Am really enjoying this......

    Hi,
    Nothing to report from me - I relisted a few things - but still no sale. Have a few things finishing on Monday but no bids as yet.
    I am beginning to think £1000 was a bit ambitious. :rolleyes:

    ok, I've paid some fees and been paid for couple of things. Still waiting on one payment.
    I've listed 3 more items, one already has a bid, others have watchers.
    I've updated my total...
  • i had loads of things finish last night, all of them kids clothes. I had put them all in a bag for the charity shop, soooooo glad i didn't now!!!! I had one lady bid on 9 things which was really good, only one parcel now.

    I have been sooooo lucky this time everybody has paid all most instantly and via paypal.In the past i've had loads of faffers!!!
    Just paid my fes with paypal and transfered £390 in to my bank.

    thats my profit so far which I am really pleased with not much to list now though bits and bobs but it all adds up i spose.Saying that not even tackled the loft yet!!!!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts through cccs

    Well done on your profit...that's great!

    I've had another payment which has brought my total up.
    I'm going to go through the children's clothes in the next week or so and make up bundles to sell.
    I'm also going to go through the loft in the next couple of days and see what's up there...
