Worley, I sold 2 bf bras a few weeks ago and they went for a tenner. I couldn't believe it!

What does everyone else think sells really well? I need some ideas of what to list next...

LilRedWobblyGut · 18/06/2007 10:05

Dumb question! How much are you allowed to sell before you are classed as a business and need to pay tax?

kirstygem · 18/06/2007 10:25

Have made £50 in last week so quite chuffed. Need to get more stuff listed as only have about 8 items left on.

Nemo2007 · 18/06/2007 10:48

sold one of ds toys last night which adds another £17 to the kitty so £130 with postage at the min.Have put another load of bits on.

sparklesandwine · 18/06/2007 11:10

I'm going to try and list more this week if DC's give me the chance!

I'll have to work out figures and keep a tally i suppose

I've got a double buggy and some other bulky things to sell but think i may try and sell them outside ebay to avoid charges too

LilRed - sorry but i don't know the answer to that one must be quite a bit i guess - if you find out let us all know

Nemo2007 · 24/06/2007 22:14

Does anyone else hate wrapping parcels??? Just spent over an hour wrapping things to post otmmorow and half needed to be bubble wrapped aswell

tortoise · 25/06/2007 20:06

Nemo2007 I don't mind wrapping them much. Most go straight into a packaging bag. Bubble wrapped 1st if needed! Doesn't take long that way.

I have sold quite a few bits on BIN. Am pleased with that.

Some more ready to list tonight or tomorrow.

Does it cost more the more days the item is listed for?

MrsWho · 25/06/2007 20:44

Me too MrsWho, can't be bothered to do much today (mastitis) There's a postage strike on the 29th so am going to wait til thats resolved I think (excuses, excuses!)

tortoise · 27/06/2007 20:18

I listed a few more items last night and sold a few items.
Have about £200 in paypak now.

ska · 28/06/2007 13:00

can i ask? does anybody buy stuff to sell on ebay and if so what sells well and isn't too difficult? Someone suggested getting clothes from tkmaxx and selling them and if they don't sell returning them to get a refund but that sounds very complcated to me! I know there isn't an easy way to make money but even a little bit each week would help!

MrsWho · 28/06/2007 19:33

Best thing I have sold are the free dvds /posters from the newspapers.BUt I don't buy to sell, just sell what I have lying aroungf
