    taking a break from work just now, so going to have a look threw turbolisted and see how many items i can relist.
    grand challenge Kashton, its given me the kick i needed to get ebaying again. going to raid the loft tonight, i have an old record player ive been meaning to sell for an age :D
  • I have a question. If I have made a profit of £2 from an item, does that I mean I can cross 2 things to list off or only 1, if £1 means 1 item? Sorry if that doesn't make sense?
    So far I have £150 saved, so does that mean I can cross off 150 items from my 7000?

    I would say it's a 7,000 £1s basically so sell something for £50 and you only need to find 6,950 things.

    Thanks, that's what I thought
  • Can I join too, please? I could do with about 50k (and then I could have a lovely holiday too!) but I'm going to start small and aim for £1,000. Haven't got too much experience of ebay, but have used amazon a couple of times and am on the verge of setting up an Etsy shop too. Would it be ok to use the money that I earn from these do you think? Never done a challenge before :)
