Raise £350 for Christmas - the new eBay challenge

[DinosaursHateUnderpants]

Post your listings and questions here. The purpose is to raise money for Christmas and I'll start by showing my (so far) meagre listings here

Added a few new listings tonight, any one got any top tips for cleaning pushchair rain covers while I'm here?

Listed 3 items tonight will do more tommorow

Laweasel bung it in the washing machinebalways works for me don't tumble dry thou!

Evening all.

No sales yet but I haven't got any BINs so can't complain

Re selling overseas, to whoever asked about posting to Croatia, I have had this happen a few times and it's actually no trouble at all - Royal Mail have a pricefinder on their website and you just look up the price and change the postage costs when you send your PayPal invoice. For most items you're looking for Airmail Small Packets. The first time I sold overseas I got really narky but felt bad in the end because it was so easy

I've been working all day and tomorrow's busy too but hopefully Friday will be filled with more sorting and listing. I need new shoes for work and I really want a new mascara but the one I want is £22 so quite a lot of crap to shift before I can fulfil those little dreams!

I need an incentive as buyers have really been getting me down recently so this could be just the ticket

Excellent, thats all mine sold! Well the four bits i got around to listing, really must get in my loft!

Thanks forgottensomething, that worked really well!

About half of our things are sold but still ages left to go so hoping all the prices will go up. My cath kidston bag is doing surprisingly well already, pleasantly surprising.

Hi there, can I join in please? I have listed some stuff tonight and plan to get more stuff on over the next few nights. I have been using the iphone app to list, it makes it seem so much easier....just wish there was a more convenient way of getting to the post office!!

Anyway, here is my stuff here

My sister's listings are finished - so I'm now slowly adding bits of ours!

God i love it when stuff sells lol. I am overly excited that I have 14 people watching a make-up bag lol.

I have a couple of bidders . Not for very much money though!

i'm not going to make that much!

here's mine so far.

most of the stuff we've sorted out has gone to charity shop.

I need advise.
I had someone earlier in the week asking if I'd ship to Bulgaria and how much it would cost. I found out the price for her.
She emailed me a couple of minutes after the bidding had closed saying she'd tried to bid but it didn't let her.

I thought I'd set it that I'd ship to the EU, but I can't work out where to check this.
I think the fees for buy it now would buy 40p, so I'm willing to waive this... is there anything I should be wary of?

I have a few more things on a scheduled start, due to start later this evening. Pleased that a tracksuit I put on the other night went to £19 (from 99p) within an hour of listing

I think shipping to Bulgaria will be fine, I have shipped to most places and the only problems i have ever had on ebay have been from buyers within the UK!!

Bilbilo, i had mine set up so international bidders couldnt bid because i was once selling a mobile phone and fraudsters kept winning it.
You go into, seller preferences in my account i think, you can change it from there

Hmmm, well I've just double checked everything and I definitely had it listed as UK and European. I've emailed her and let her know if was set properly, and I've relisted it.

Only sold 1 thing so far, but I know they're priced quite high. I've re-listed all the unsold. I've also dropped the price on a couple of things. Especially as I realised I was selling one item for more than I bought it for. In my defence I don't think you can buy it new anymore and I got the price by looking at how much one had sold for recently on ebay.

I've spent this evening going through DD's clothes ready for the arrival of DC2. If it turns out to be a boy I'll be listing a lot of bundles of girls clothes... some which never had the tags removed.

Can I join in?

Am busy trying to pull together the things to sell and writing descriptions before I list.

Was going to do it this weekend but after reading on here I may wait until next weekend when it may be busier.

I have some stuff to add tonight - mostly things I have bought from eBay but never worn - in my defence some of it didn't fit. Not sure how well I'll do, some items are popular with watchers and some just aren't but I forgot to put counters no most of my listings so I can't tell whether there's just no buyers for the stuff of whether it's my crappy descriptions and poor photography!

My stuff ends tonight, only one bidder but have at least one watcher on each of my 4 items, fingers crossed!

Good luck everyone!

Good luck claimedbyme! I have some things ending tonight too, not doing very well tho, a few 99p bids and most without even a watcher!!

Added some more things last night, so fingers crossed! My stuff

here

Hopefully thats a link to my stuff, its took me since about last week to work that out

Good luck Aimsmum

All my items end tonight. Few have 99p bids. Muddy puddles waterproofs have 17 watchers and a few bids so they should do well.

Oh well think I made about £5 tonight!! Have re-listed the unsold stuff.

Hope everyone else is more successful!

Haven't caught up yet but bilblio I've had a similar message re overseas bids, although the item hasn't ended yet. Not sure what's up, can't see a problem at this end

Oh I'm in.

Got 4 things on now but have some scheduled for 8pm.

here

Ooooooh Redum, selling Netmums merchandise? Tut!

I've been adding bits and bobs, most some unlikely to sell and unwatched, other things doing surprisingly well, should make more than £30 tonight (I had better!). Have some more random stuff to add but it's a faff ... must stay motivated! Good luck all of you :)
