Ooh Norma what are your postage tips- do you mean to save money on it? I'm so sick of listing now. My computer just crashed whilst I was doing one so i think that's it for tonight.

Has anyone put stuff on for household or clothing to take advantage of the half price listing weekend?

NormaStiltonFletcher · 10/06/2007 13:40

Well the main cost saving is that I am sending everything through his business post account . I still pay him what the postage costs but it is much cheaper than sending everything in the normal way.

For parcels, just ask the post office for some of their special delivery packages, which they send you for free, and then if you don't want to send special delivery then you just turn them inside out

Off to a good start as made about £40 last week . Most things I had listed sold so need to get moving and get next load listed

mygirllollipop · 11/06/2007 14:11

Woohoo, got £74 odd in my paypal account! Still got loads of crap to get rid of before we move, some stuff is to give away mind you and some is for selling elsewhere than ebay but a good start to this challenge I think.

mangojuice · 11/06/2007 14:58

Lollipop that's great! Well done you!

MrsWho- did the camera get fixed?

Hi Sparkles. Didn't do too great this week on ebay- only £16 (not including postage)My local paper prints for sale ads for free so am putting things in there this week to see if I can shift some of the bulkier stuff and avoid all the fees! Are you listing more this week?
