    hi i have began before i found the thread.
    i have listed 38 items today!! 3 have bids. also off to post 4 items from friday tomorrow.
    i reuse my old padded envelopes but i tend to add it to the listing if i do it and charge a cheap price. i have been luck enough to get a load of packaging for a bloke on freecycle what was getting rid got bloody loads!!!
    which it good coz i got loads to sell!

    Congratulations on the wedding. I've managed to declutter and make £120 just this week! Two birds with one stone :p I've used old shoe boxes and old packaging from mobile phones etc saving on buying packaging and recycling. I have even more room... jobs a gud'n!:j

    i recently sold a car bumper via ebay said it may cost up to £20 to post he was quite happy to pay that however it cost £11 just over i think to post but i probably spent that other £9 on pacakging and it will show when he recieved it as it was well bubble wraped.
    i reuse packaging but dont charge for it if i have already got it for nothing
    im gonna have to declutter as well
    oh i weigh on the kitchen scales however i use this as a guide only and add maybe 10% to the weight as my scales are poo.
    CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WEDDING HOPE IT WAS A GOOD NITE AS WELL LOL

    Actually just thought - Maybe I should buy new batteries for my bathroom scales for any heavier items...
    Just added a few more bits to be put on when I get home tonight so they finish sunday night. Best dash off to work I guess!

    Have just uploaded 2 items and will try to get the last one photographed tonight too... Will upload that later though - might as well space stuff out I guess :)
    Problem is that now I'm looking round the room and OH has started saying no every time my eyes rest too long on something! :whistle:
    I think if he sat still long enough I might try to stick HIM on there too ;)

    Well still more than a day to go on the first lot of things but already I've got £16.80 in bids on them! Who'd have thunk it!
    I managed to list a couple of bits last night when I got home and one I only stuck on for a laugh - OH was making fun of me and said it'd never sell! My argument was it's only 5p to list it and I put it on for 10p so not like it's the end of the world :)
    Woke up this morning and checked on it... and it's got a bid!!! :eek: Wait till I tell him that later :rotfl:
    So how's anyone else going?
    My plans are to list some craft stuff tonight - I have loads of wool I'll break down into little batches and tonnes of card making stuff I'd like to get shot off so might was well list it :) After all if I keep it it'll only gather dust...

    Hi there,

    I'll understand if you don't want to, but could you post or PM me your ebay username? I know this isn't very MSE, but I am getting into card making big time!

  • I have to get to grips with e bay. I downloaded the turbo lister thing, and don't understand it at all. Hrmmph. So i think i will try individual items, missed the listing yesterday but i am going to give it a go. Gulp.
