It's weird the stuff that sells. I thought this week's additions - here were pretty good. Whtever. Bit miffed so far about the swimsuit - bought at Bloomingdale's this year though. It's so cute.

Like I said my Radio Times is selling and now for more than I paid for it

jeangenie · 29/04/2007 15:44

I have 13 bids on 7 items, it's slow going though, I'm not even up to £15 yet

and nobody is even watching my little bundles of dresses or other kids clothes, they are really cute too

Swedishmum you are right, what sells does seem to be weird. I love that little swimsuit of yours, too small for mine though I'm afraid

tortoise · 29/04/2007 16:42

I still have just 2 bids. 4 items ending tonight. 2 of the BIN items have watchers!

Will add more tonight once DC are all in bed!

SNOWBall4girlz · 29/04/2007 18:02

well nothing sold today
will list more tonight need to put stuff in the shop bit to make it worth while but have stuff finishing to get people to look in the shop

does nobody need a pretty good travel cot in the manchester area or anywhere sick of tripping over it in the dd's room but paid over £40 for it and only want a tenner

tortoise · 29/04/2007 21:57

Just 2 items sold tonight.
Have re-lised some items and also added some other items.
here they are!

jeangenie · 30/04/2007 08:19

I managed to sell 13 out of 18 items last night and made £48.99 (before the ebay and paypal vultures take their cut) - when we are counting up on this thread should we do it after fees? (not sure I'll have the energy to work it all out)
I have scheduled three more with Auctiva to start on Thursday and I hope to get another couple ready during the week

Large bundles of kids clothes - any magic tips? I am not having luck with those so far, someone on another thread said it might be the fact that the clothes don't look ironed. I am the first to admit I am the world's worst ironer, maybe that's what I need to help with really. So, any ironing tips???

SOON, my house will be a clutter free zone and I will have a lovely new tent!

fannyannie · 30/04/2007 16:37

I'm now up to £47.27 (including p&p) got a few more lots starting tonight.

Going to wait until tomorrow until I add anymore as I use Andale and I'm nearly up to my limit for this month

Last thread just went on how much you recived not including p&p but ignoring fees

OP posts:
fannyannie · 30/04/2007 20:53

really - last thread started off including P&P - must have changed somewhere along the thread LOL..

In that case I'm up to £25.57.

Am up to £45 which is not too bad, finding that things always sell if I relist them or sell through BUy it NOw. Need to get moving and get another batch stuff listed as my last 5 things end tomorrow night

AnAngelWithin · 01/05/2007 11:30

sixlostmonkeys · 01/05/2007 12:03

remember it's half price listing day on thursday

I might join you all - you have got me going now and I do need to have a clear out

when is the deadline?

MrsSpoon · 01/05/2007 12:13

Don't laugh, this really is an achievement for me I have been so off e-Bay lately but here is my stuff, might even manage to get the e-Bay bug back again.

fannyannie · 01/05/2007 13:49

"remember it's half price listing day on thursday"

Yes indeed which means that there'll be more people listing, meaning less hits on your items, meaning less bids and lower selling prices

sixlostmonkeys · 01/05/2007 14:02

yeah I know but I've got my positive head on today...so shush

tortoise · 01/05/2007 21:30

Few items ended tonight. 2 sold. more ending sunday.
