I so need to join this thread. I have quite a bit I need to get rid of before the house move. Don't think I will manage to make £300 but if I only make the money to buy some packing boxes that will be great.

Nutty don't buy packing boxes. Go into local shops/supermarkets and ask for some. Should get plenty that way.

I think I've name changed since the begining of this thread.

40 minutes left and made about £140 so far, not looking forward to taking it all to the PO tomorrow though.

all here

Just got an e-mail - it is another free listing weekend on 21st/22nd may. Usual conditions apply.

I haven't listed anything for a-a-a-ages. I have gone off eBay a bit at the moment as I seem to have had lots of hassle this year both as a buyer and a seller.

But maybe I should persaude dd to try on some of her summer clothes before this weekend to see if they still fit! :)

Bastard Ebay!
I managed to re-list items but it still won't let me list anything new because of below standard DSR. Have a selling limit for the month still which i thought ended last month but obviously not!
So tempted to start up a new account! But then i would have zero feedback!

Is £3.65 the right amount for fees for £9.63 worth of sales (ie £9.63 after postage, left in my paypal account)

Gulp

This is more expensive than I thought

KatyMac · 19/05/2011 09:34

No they changed it

She sold £10.19, she gets £7.95

I think I feel a car boot coming on

Polkadott · 19/05/2011 15:55

I need to join this! I've got some stuff up ending tomorrow night, lots of watchers but about 5 bids between 8 listings :/ I hope a last minute bidding war occurs.

KatyMac · 20/05/2011 21:47

Is it worth putting a reserve on something or a starting bid?

FrameyMcFrame · 22/05/2011 22:57

Right, I have decide to have another go at this so will be joining again. Will try and get some money for the holidays in August! Plenty of girl's clothes between ages 7 and 10 as DD decided to clear her wardrobe. She refuses to wear anything that is "too pretty" or "too girly" Hmm

pingusmumtoo · 28/05/2011 19:06

I've just listed a load of bras for the huge bazooka'd ladies out there but I have to say I am sending the DP back into his shed as we listed two bits of crap motorcycle parts a few weeks back and made £200 !!! Shock
He's got a shed full of it ..... never mind the baby stuff (I want to hang on to this because I want another baby - he however has 2 bikes and there's no way he's having another one !)
Have got a load of Jamie Oliver Blush plates/bowls to sell but not sure whether to do as a big lot or individuals .... P&P for that sort of stuff is such a PITA ... what do you think ?

DinosaursHateUnderpants · 29/05/2011 13:06

Anyone that's a fan of Star Trek DS9 or TNG will like this weeks listings :) here

baabi · 31/05/2011 15:07

Hope everybody had a good week.
Just posted the lot for last week, not bad, after postage & fees, made £40, will pay for the kids school trips Smile
Re-listed a few and listed another lot, I have so much that needs to go!

baabi link doesn't seem to work for me.
I am hoping that restrictions will be removed from my account tomorrow as start of new month. Depends if DSRs have improved!

Just got an e-mail this morning - they are running another free listing weekend this weekend (4th/5th June).

Maybe this time I will actually get around to listing stuff!

SNOWBall4girlz · 02/06/2011 12:56

I have not had an email yet about free listing
I have relisted a load of stuff already but will find more for weekend :)
saving up for a holiday or days out in the summer lol

HumperdinkFangboner · 02/06/2011 20:44

I made £250 the other week, have some more bits on now and a few more to put on next Sunday, then I think I've ran out of stuff to sell!
