Haven't listed anything yet, but going to be starting to pack for my move soon, so as I go along I'll list stuff I don't want to keep.

Anyone going to join me???

1st listing unsold.
2nd SOLD for a whole £1.70! Better than nothing though.

Tortoise · 07/04/2009 20:31

5 watchers and not one of them bid! so annoying!

Next items are doing ok though. Well, have bids at least lol!

SNOWBall4girlz · 08/04/2009 00:10

well hi there Tortoise

I know what you mean about watchers I have sold 22 things since last week and had about 6 watching one item an it went for 99p.

What I think will get a good price goes for 99 p yet a smock top really nice but a couple of marks on I started at 10p went for a couple of quid weird but true :0.
(lovey top tho lol )
selling total is about £50 but only about half have paid
Getting more stuff ready to go on tomorrow.

Tortoise · 08/04/2009 12:16

I might list some more tomorrow or Friday. Depends what time i have.

Wuxiapian · 10/04/2009 22:10

Only a few more items!

SNOWBall4girlz · 11/04/2009 03:11

well I never got to put more on today but my total ihere

87 items on and only three bids waiting for the rush lol x

SNOWBall4girlz · 11/04/2009 03:12

Is about £60 jx

Tortoise · 11/04/2009 16:59

Wow SNOW 87 items! Sorry you haven't got mor ebids though. Fingers crossed for a last minute rush.

I haven't got around to sorting out more yet. Plus need to sort out packing and posting sold items! Been a bit slow sorting it and now will have to post tuesday.

I seem to spending all i am making too! Found lots of playnobil for DD1's Birthday in May. One seller has loads of it.

notcitrus · 11/04/2009 23:08

OK, have spent last 2 nights on the computer and have 30 items listed - but expect most of them won't sell or will only be 99p.

But 3 items have bids already with 9 days to go.. a whopping £2.62!

Only made about £45 since New Year, but have many techie things being sorted out for listing once MrNC tells me what they are. But have put lots of stuff on Freecycle and to Oxfam.

My baby will have his own room ready this year...

mogs0 · 13/04/2009 20:27

SNOW - car boot was rubbish!! Only 4 cars turned up to sell and about a dozen people to buy!!! I made about £15 so covered the cost of the pitch but came home with almost the same amount of stuff as I went with. I'll be off to the charity shop as soon as ds goes back to school!!

SNOWBall4girlz · 13/04/2009 23:36

sorry to hear that mogs how disapointing

I just keep relistig stuff and adding new stuff
emptied the girls wardrobe today nearly two bin bags full of girls stuff 1- 2 yrs and some baby stuff thinking about bundling them a bit or mix and match a few bits here and there loads of size 12 - 18 m next stuff dd4 seems to have missed this size

notcitrus · 14/04/2009 16:51

what a shame mogs!

I thought I'd gone a bit doolally with listing anything sitting around, but hey it's cost nothing, and the top item (5 bids, 8 watchers, week to go)?

A broken Walkman. Couldn't make it up!

SNOWBall4girlz · 14/04/2009 18:08

Well the guy in france is not that desperate for his bra and wont pay the extra postage
re listed it but did not check the auction it is all to cock
no description pic deleted aargh

and tried to edit it but cannot as it has a bid and when I tried to add to the description it would notlet me submit the revisions so look like an idiot lol nothing new

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 16/04/2009 11:26

Are you going to do another challenge now it's past Easter, if so I want in

SNOWBall4girlz · 16/04/2009 20:44

I am in for another challenge

Sold a couple more things today got a load of girls stuff to list.

My bra (metorphorically)has a couple of watchers despite the shady description lolx

Having a challenge encourages you to get on with it and be able to have a moan too!

Tortoise you in?
Do we start a new thread ?
Has anyone sold much on here?
:O

Tortoise · 17/04/2009 18:51

so angry and sad
Not sure i want to sell anymore.

Podrick · 17/04/2009 19:07

oh tortoise that is rotten. Ebay is so weighted against sellers now .

I have just had a big ebay push and listed over 100 items over the past 2 weeks - so far I have £371 in completed sales and curent bids put together. I'm aiming for £500 by the time they are all done on Sunday. I am mostly selling old clothing of mine and dd's.

Tortoise · 17/04/2009 19:17

Well done pod. SOunds like you are doing great.

SNOWBall4girlz · 17/04/2009 19:26

tortoise if she was that upset she should have contacted you. I looked at that auction they looked great.
Dont let one numpty put you off def reply.

I am selling all the stuff mine have grown out of i have sold 40 items and made about £75 still got stuff on and cannot afford not to do it need money for the days out when we go rent the caravan in wales.

Well done pdrick

what sizes are you selling?

notcitrus what did your walkman go for in the end ?

My bra has 7 watchers now on a really dodgy looking auction lol

Tortoise · 17/04/2009 19:31

Thanks SNOW. I have emailed so will see what the buyer says next!
DS1 wants me to list his mobile phone. He wants a differet one! Will have to think about in though. Below 90% feedback might put buyers off.

Podrick · 17/04/2009 19:36

Tortoise I really feel for you. Try not to let the bad ebayers get to you. i bet lots of folk have posted you great feedback.

I am not convinced about starting auctions at 99p even though it's free to list at this price. I have sold quite a few items at v low prices this way so now I only start at 99p if I think I would be happy to sell at that price or if I cam confident that they will sell well anyhow eg boden stuff always popular.

SNOWBall4girlz · 17/04/2009 19:40

Your feedback is 98.8 % ?
Mine is less than that another person not happy

.. I asked them to post back I never got the items back paypal ruled in her favour I got a neg despite her no sending the items back but most people are great.

I posted that HSM t- shirt to czech they have not paid as the insurance was too expensive so sent it cheap as poss with nice note will wait and see if they acknowledge getting it am de cluttering big style lolx

Podrick · 17/04/2009 19:43

SNOW I am mostly selling womenswear size 14 and girls age 7 to 8 plus stuff round the house we just do not need. Unfortunately i have bought a lot from ebay as well and some items I am selling are things I bought for myself that didn't suit me!!!

SNOWBall4girlz · 17/04/2009 19:46

can you do a link
my stuff is here
here

Tortoise · 17/04/2009 19:58

Thnks.
I will have to sort through stuff again and see if it is worth Ebaying. Only way i can make money unfortunatly, so kind of rely on it!
