my MAD e-bay challenge

purplevamp

I had 10 listings finish yesterday - 3 didn't sell, 7 did for a combined total of £228.98 :j . After fees I will probably get just under £200, not too shabby

I'll update my total when everyone's paid.

I need to motivate myself again, my target for the next 30 days is £200, it used to be 'easy' but I've ran out of big things to sell, it's only tiny things now so I'm not sure it's worth it. Still, xmas is around the corner so it'll go to my xmas fund!

Someone cheer me up and tell me they made a fortune from ebay to inspire me!

Its sos low to sell at teh monety I guess credit cruch hitting people hard.

Guys I need your advice!
1. Ebay are charging me £3 every now and again as seller fees. Why? I haven't listed for ages
2. What is the best way to list boots and blouses.
3. Do items sell in little sets of three?
4. How on earth do I get handmade jewellery (and it really is, I made it) to sell? In job lots maybe?

Thanks!!!!

Still plodding on - another £25.00 profit to add to my total and, even better, £60.00 withdrawn from my Paypal account!

5 items listed and sold today, just waiting for payment on one as everyone else has paid :j . Will update when I've worked out fees, but so far today it's just over £59. :T

I completely forgot about this thread, I've been so busy listing that I haven't had time to see how everyone else is getting on.
I think I might be about £600 in profit so far, but I really much look through my cash book and work it all out. Christmas is a coming and my PayPal balance needs fattening up! I'm setting myself a new goal, I want to finishing raising the £1000 by the 1st December!

Your plan is brilliant but remember this...ebay will charge you a small fee for everything you sell and you need to cover postage and packing.

So your plan should be to make a £1 profit on every item you sell. You may need to charge more than a pound for each item to achieve this.

Well, I lost the plot and went astray and spent the money I had already earned

But, I do have my eye on my dad's old mega drive and games. They are actually selling quite well!

And I just found 3 boxed, unused Avon nail varnishes. They may raise a quid or £2!

So all is not lost!

yay! put 2 items on last night, and one sold already! £5 up already!
