my MAD e-bay challenge

Postage can be done by Paypal, they have a button to click to do the postage, you just put in how much it weighs and then print off the lable, which also has the address on. You have to post before the end of the next day.

They also give you a sheet to get stamped as proof of postage, however you have to take this to your post office, so I fail to see the point in using it to be honest, as you still have to take to post office and queue....

I much prefer using the post office, I only rarely use the online thing when I have just one to post and don't wanna stand in a queue for 30 minutes...

What frustrates me about the post office is that when I go armed with 40 parcels, they get !!!!ed off that I have taken so many, yet then moan when they are going to be shut down, can't win!

Sold 36 out of 40 items tonight, ended up coming to £196.49 but fee's etc have to be decuted from that.

hope evryone had a good weekend. - managed to find a few more bits to list - must get my bum in gear!

Totally forgot I hadnt updated on here yet, thank you so much for this idea, so far I have sold & cleared just over £700 from my debt:money:

I have 15 items on there at the mo, including my beloved phone & hope to clear another £300 by the end of the month:beer:

I always post using Paypal & pay my fees at the end of each lot, so that I know the money I transfer is all profit.

p.s I never knew my house was full of so much junk!

I had the same thing where I used to live - I'd go in twice a week, and would usually be paying £60 ish a week in posting. But the local busy-body said I was miss-using the Post Office! They were up for review in April, shame they don't have any customers... :rolleyes:

I've now managed to get all of my unwanted clutter into one room, I might actually get round to listing it one day! Is it just me, or do you do so much listing in week you can't be bothered for the next few?

MinniMe_2

couple of them have paid now so going to add to my total - very slowly creeping up.

Rosa its not just you. The week before last I listed 15 items, only managed 2 last week cus I was so sick of the sight of it!

:wave: Haven't been on here for soooo long. how's everyone doing? I haven't put anything on ebay for a few weeks now (*slaps wrist*) but I have put about 40 books on Amazon, and I sold one yesterday :j .

I really must try and get some things on ebay, my deposit isn't going to grow itself! I had my daughters 6th birthday last week, my sons 7th is in 2 weeks time and they've got their joint party next week so I'm going to be busy with that.

It was the big one last night - 34 things for sale - well big for me. I sold about half. But my best success was an item that I put on for 99p ....and went for ....£34 ..hurrah. I made about £175 last night. To go towards paying off the mortgage.

best wishes everyone

I'm not in this challenge but just popped in for a bit of inspriation as I have a few things to list - and no motivation to do it!

Anyway, it has worked and I'm now all fired up and ready to get listing. Here we go...
