    How many have you listed on there and have you put them on as a batch or on their own? I've got 4 T-Mobile ones and was wondering if they would sell on there.

    I would like to join in too if you don't mind.
    I have received a free voucher from Ebay from £7.50 - so I shall be spending that on cosmetics and reselling back on Ebay and that will start me off.

    Good luck everybody x

    I've put on 3 o2 ones 4 orange ones, 2 t-mob ones, and one virgin one. Put them all on seperatly as i mucked up listing them on ebays new system..just put them on for a 1p but put postage at about £1 odd coz thats the easiest way to get the pound! Some people dont check the postage lol and you can just post them as a normal letter for 38p!I know someone who used to sell them on ebay and made a killing, applied for a load more free ones so waiting on them.Decided that its prob gonna take a few days to sell them so i'm gonna do that seperatly and im getting my 1st pound from slice the pie instead!

    What would you do with free samples? List them on Ebay individually or as a batch? I've got loads of skin care freebies that I've accumulated but never used.

    I would say it depends on the sample size and what brand it is. Otherwise I would be inclined to do a small mixed batch.

    I listed a load of samples together on Ebay and they went for over £5 from what I can remember.
