    Another one of my sold items has just been paid, so that another, wait for it, are you ready

    70p, after fees to add to my total:rotfl: .

    Now standing at £133.45/£500, if I don't laugh about it I will cry.
    Hey, every little helps. We have good weeks and then we have not-so-good weeks. I've not been doing too well just lately, but keep going - we'll get there in the end;)

    Hello all,

    Can I join please? Ive been procrastinating about the whole ebay thing for ages now and I really need to just get stuck in and try to sell some stuff both to make some head way into my debt repayments but all create some space in my house!!

    I'd like to make £500 but looking at what Ive gathered in my "to ebay" box so far I'd say thats wildly optimistic but hey ho ...here goes!
    Eggmoney= £2400
    Santander = £1950 Virgin = £10000

    Out of 20 items ending today, 14 sold. I did the 99p start listing for the first time and not sure if I will be doing that again tbh as lots of things sold for a lot less than I would have liked! Now need to find the motivation to list some more in the coming week.

    Hope everyone else is still slugging away at it :)

    Sorry about the rain, Minni:cool:
    Well, we're still here, got another 6 items going on later tonight. Most of my stuff now is low value, so I'm not making much, but at least I'm de-cluttering the house, and every pound made is another pound off the debt:j

    I managed to upload 138 items on Thursday on 10 day listings, 22 already have bids, but they are low starting bids at 49p/99p so only at £16.99 but every little helps, especially seen as a lot of them are books I just need rid of for the space.

    Still got quite a bit to upload, just getting the time to do it really, might do a bit now...

    wow every one is doing really well, I'm in the same boat - a lot of my stuff will now be low value - 99p type thing but hey 10 items at that price is £0 off the debt :)

    Just remember when using 99p starts to take into account the fees. 10p to list up to 9p FVF and up to 30p paypal fees. Don't sell yourself too short, or even worse run at a loss.
