People actually want to buy my stuff. I'm thrilled!

First thing I've sold on eBay. 16 watchers and 5 bids with an hour and a bit to go. I'm all excited and needed to share :o

Yay!

best tell your family to hide their things - from now on anything that doesn't move will be sold by you on ebay

try ending items in the evening to attract more buyers

Thanks. I've been put off a bit by some of the stories on here about eBay giving back money to the buyer via PayPal and sellers being left out if pocket so I don't think I'll put much else on.

It's quite fun though. It's down to the last 40 minutes and I've now made 6p profit if I forget about the fees :o

I've lost a watcher :( 9 bids and 5 minutes to go though so I might be lucky :)

£2.05 profit. Yay for me!

Fabulous! Pleased it's turned a profit for you.
Oh and Paypal fees? Have you taken those out of the equation?
Ooh hope I'm not the harbinger of doom now

No no, you're fine, it's still a profit. It was a lot that I'd bought without reading the description properly so I relisted just hoping to get something back.

Well done! Don't worry too much about the stories of doom on here. Only a small percentage of sales are problematic - people just don't talk about the easy ones here!

Actually, reading the horror stories on here has made me a lot more savvy about what things could go wrong and take steps to prevent it happening.

Yes, I just paid a bit extra for recorded postage after reading things here. I reused a mailing bag from a package I got yesterday though so I'm only down 15p on my profit :o
