my MAD e-bay challenge

crapwithcash82

I'm up to £33.07 now... seems to be a slow start, but things are starting to sell now. I've decided that items I've listed that don't sell, I'll put in aside and go to a car boot sale at the end of the month... loving this site/forum, its so encouraging knowing other people are in the same situation!

I am still plodding on with selling. I put a few items on each week and seem to be doing quite well. I have found that if you are accurate with the descriptions and take some good photos the items seem to sell better.

I find listing all the items very boring though and after I have a put a couple on I give up! I have to be in the 'mood' to list things lol

Haven't seen anyone mention this, so:

5p Listing Day - Tuesday 8th July

Why a Tuesday, I don't know

Happy listing all!

OMG I hate to laugh but I cannot count how many times I have done that. I also do it with amazon books. The nightmare of it especially when it has been paid for by buyer :eek:

I must admit this has got to be one of the hardest challenges i have done in the whole of my life! Ive just checked paypal and i have £244 in there. Not bad considering that is all my ebay charges up to date. I am really running out of things to sell now, my wardrobe will be empty in a month!!!
Clearing out my garage at the moment so hopefully there will be a few pennies to be made.

Have you had a look in your loft/attic? I've persuaded my OH to go up the loft tonight and take down some boxes for me to have a look through.... I figure if its sitting up there in boxes we're not using it. I've also got tonnes of my daughters baby clothes which I was thinking about selling in job lots. I could always treat her to some new stuff if I have any spare profits left over after the challenge!!

I have been paid ...nightmare.
But I've found that as soon as I send a message and repay the buyer ...I find the bleeding thing.

One day I will learn to have a better system...
one day......

As a new ebayer, wondered if anyone has any tips on listing and what is selling well at the moment. I tried with clothes a while back but no luck. Any tips appreciated.
