MrsTine's post wedding Ebay challenge

nannis

Hi all ...Just popped in from the wedding board to say hi...And I wonder if you ladies would be able to post links to your for sale items??
It must be seen as advertising, but surely it would be helping us brides to be to find some bargains..moneysaving style??

No-one is allowed to post links to their Ebay items as that would contravene the advertising rules I'm afraid...
If anyone finds a bargain on there then they can obviously share the link (on the wedding forum in this case lol) but not if they stand to make a personal gain from it...
Make sense? :rotfl:

Makes perfect sense. Might also stop me from spending! I go on ebay to look at how my auctions are doing, then end up thinking of loads of little things that I might be able to get cheap...

To be fair, it definitely saves me a lot of money (and makes me a bit), and it's lovely to be able to treat yourself to a lippy or something for only a couple of quid (instead of the rip off prices on the high st, they all seem to be about £6 now!!).

So here's to ebay, and good luck with your challenge. And to anyone else who's got stuff on there - with cheap listing day yesterday I think everyone was at it.

Ach nae worries

Have just realised I have a fair amount of both new and used make up I could list and someone told me that sells pretty well on fleabay so will definitely dig that out tonight or tomorrow morning. Have also assembled a large bag of card making bits that I no longer need.

So more listing tomorrow!!

MrsTinks

WHOOP WHOOP! We're currently at over £33 for stuff listed! So very chuffed! Also got a 50% refund on some bits I bought for the wedding that were not anywhere near as nice as the listing pic- I wasn't expecting anything back but replied when the seller asked for feedback. Was honest that I was disappointed so hadn't left feedback yet... I never expected a refund as it was way before the wedding and I just hadn't had time to sort it out - entirely my fault. But I got a part refund so very chuffed!
Also had a refund before the wedding for some favour boxes that were glued scewiff and they couldn't replace in time for the wedding so Paypal looking healthy and that's before my items finish Yay!

Right... off to find stuff to take pictures of!

MrsTinks

Well 4 items finished this evening and sold for £54.20! YAY!
One has already paid so just waiting for the rest - tomorrow I'll be packing stuff up ready to post monday before I head to Exeter again (blooming work!)
How's everyone else getting on?

I've never understood ebay and how it all works if you wish to sell, no matter how many times i look at the rules etc!!! I wish i was more ebay savvy... i have a range of things i could sell.. ive even got a gym here i bought on a whim and have never even set the thing up!!!!!!!
I really need to get to grips with my purse hehehe!! Anyone who can explain ebay in laymens terms, please post reply or pm me
Congrats mrstine on your 54 quid!!! and good luck with your other items xx

MrsTinks

Well the total is up to about £117 which ain't bad! I've withdrawn £100 from my paypal already which came in handy when hubby wanted to upgrade the surround sound system *sigh*

Ebay... well... I have to say I think it's getting more complex for newbies all the time but the best bet really is to start with one or 2 smaller items and gradually go from there. The Ebay board on here is great for advice and support though

OK - at long last... I've just put 5 items on. I'll try and do more later but at least I've started at long last!

Well done on your sales MrsT.

MrsTinks

Well done for listing stuff spice! I'm going to try and list some more today too
