    I have a question for you all! My Daughter's stuff ALWAYS sell on ebay. In the past I have only ever sold them as clothing bundles/lots. Here is a previous example-:

    BUNDLE OF GIRLS NEXT & GAP CLOTHING 5-6YRS

    I normally have about 10/12items in a lot and sell for around £18-20. What I was wondering is do you think maybe I should be listing items individually? I am going for a major upload during the coming week and have about 40+ items of her clothing to list. And that is before I start on the other 'treasure' around the house!

  • I think you are best listing as bundles for kids clothes. My sister sells all her kids clothes on ebay and tends to do them as bundles and usually makes more than if she lists them seperatly. You will also save on listing fees.

    Thanks for that! I should stick to the tried and tested way I think :)

  • Hi everyone.

    I know I'm a bit late, but can I join please?

    I was going to join at the start, but I'd just started the March ebay challenge. I made £1.30 (and undercharged on postage for 2 items), got depressed and gave up! Reading your posts has inspired me again.

    I'm going to aim for £3379 (one credit card's worth). Somehow, trying to find 3379 items for £1 each seems more doable than trying to make £3379, or am I a bit mad? Actually, I must be because I doubt if I've got 20 things anyone would want to buy even for a £1, but, hey, that's the challenge. :)

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm even later than Polly but please let me join too. I've been getting into eBay over the last couple of months and would like to take up the Gauntlet.

    I think £3000 by the end of the year should be doable so please put me down for that:eek:

    Yay - I have a number now (thanks for adding me Kashton) and I feel all official!

    Listed 13 items today but my god isn't it painfully boring! Have loads more photos of items ready to go on too so just got to bear with it.

    I told my bf about the challenge and he said we're all mental but is actually sitting reading the thread now so I'm hopeful I can convert him!!

    Have posted before but probably about 10 pages back, am here to update, just worked out that in April I made £128.74 profit after Ebay fees and Paypal fees.

    Am well chuffed, have had to stop now as 38+ weeks pregnant so am hoping baby makes an appearance soon so I can get back to selling and clearing my debts as soon as I can.

    Don't have an aim (amount) in mind but will just keep updating my profit as and when.

  • Hi all,

    Had a good start to the weekend but then It just went all quite. Not sold anything for two days now.

    Never mind I need to keep plugging away and I will get there in the end.

    We can do this.
