    I have finally done it - i have reached my target of £8,000
    I sold my last items last night which took me over my target.
    The money has all been paid into my PayPal account and i have withdrawn it this morning!
    I can now contact my creditors and offer the F&F figure of £8,000 which i have been told they would accept as i have had trouble paying back the full amount recently!!
    I cant believe that i am finally going to be debt free - woohoo!!!

    Thats brilliant news well done x

    A second chance offer is where you can offer the second highest bidder the chance at buying the item if the winner doesn't pay up, or maybe if you have 2 of the same item, so you offer it to winner and second highest rather than list twice.

    I have found in the past that very few of the people I've offered second chance offers to take me up on them, mainly because if they have lost out on one item, they are likely to bid on similar/same which another person has listed.

    Listed 8 items last night, got 14 to go on tonight
    Sold loads in the last few days, but nobody's handing over the cash! I'm hoping that they're just thinking of bidding on my other, more expensive items!!
    Had a look in my cash book (how sad?!), took away the postage/fees etc and all my profit's only £65.99... I had been working out in the income and taking away the outgoings later - I'll have to do it as I go along from no on, it's too depressing to see you've just spent £30 in postage!
    Good Luck everyone! :D
