    Hi everyone! What a fab idea! I have a ridicuolous amount of stuff to sell, though I have managed to sell about £100 worth in the last month, but loads of baby clothes, maternity clothes, and some other random things.

    The problem I'm having is getting time to take pics, then list it all, with a toddler and a 5 mth old, any tips?

    Does anyone know if you get more for baby clothes in bundles or seperately? I guess I'd save a lot in listing fees.... :huh:
    If you have good thoughts, they'll shine out of your face like sunbeams & you'll always look lovely.

    Hi, i've made £64.68 on ebay and sold my dad's van on there for him and made £100!!! Wahoo! listing more tomorrow though! x
  • Doing well so far with 6 of 9 items with bids on, two of the others with watchers and one with nothing :rolleyes: . Still got 24 hours to go as well so fingers crossed.

    I was hoping to get a lot of stuff listed tonight with turbo lister (not used it before) however the digital camera batteries were out and have had to be recharged - I am sure the rechargeable batteries get eaten in this house :rolleyes:

    I'm now not going to be able to have my mad listing frenzy until Monday am which is no good but i can't change that. I need to get into the pattern of listing on a particular day so that its a regular set pattern.

    watch this space and the totals rack up ................
