Summer Ebay Challenge!!! Shall we try for another £300?

I need motivating to de-clutter and make my bank account look a bit healthier!!! I've got loads of bags and boxes packed with car-boot stuff that didn't sell the other week so might start with that and list those things at 99p just to make a bit of space.

Anyone with me? Shall we set the deadline for end of Summer term (about the 18th July here)?

How many items did they buy?

I have been asked a question about the soft toy dog i am selling. They have asked if it is ok for them to bid now as they will be away for 2 weeks before it ends. Or would i do a BIN.
Happy to hold onto it if they win while away but also happy to do a BIN but what price is reasonable?

Tortoise · 12/05/2009 19:41

PS2 has 2 bids and is on £3.71!

hi ladies

not done too well at all but looks better for tomorrow no watchers or bids tonight nothing sold lol

going to try bundling same size stuff together I have got to get rid of my baby stuff do microwave sterilisers sell off to look

my computer is on a very go slow tonight

Tortoise · 13/05/2009 10:28

Only 2 sold last night.
17 items left and 3 days on them. 2 items with bids so far. And a couple have 1 watcher. Not looking great!

I have 2 fleece sleepsuits to sell. Should i hold onto them until autumn or chance selling now?

I would think sterilisers would sell ok.

I probably won't list anymore until Friday then i can hide it all in the cupboard during DD's party!

hi everyone

Tortoise very kindly invited me to join ... I'm going to be listing a few things over the next few weeks but will stagger it otherwise I get ebay burnout!!

for now I have a pair of Jimmy Choo strappy snakeskin heels in size 41

hope you're all getting lots of bids and lots of ££!!

Tortoise · 13/05/2009 20:26

Hi LTEC. Howmuch are you hoping to get for the shoes? I assume they were expensive? (I know zero about shoes! Prefer my comfy DMs or trainers! )

One more item has a bid. The soft toy dog.

Shame I can't wear heels LTEC!

How should I send a 6kg parcel? Can't believe the PO only go up to 5kg - it's a POST office for goodness sake...

Got a bid on my old phone - but not counting my chickens cash until get +ve feedback or 3 months pass! Found all the boxes for something I sold 3 months ago which is annoying.

Tortoise · 14/05/2009 20:09

Says 6kg is ok on PO site postage finder.

Aims DD1 looked great at her party in her sparkly skirt today.
WRT your Ebay loony, i am sure paypal will refund. Forward emails to Ebay too.

I still have 3 items that will sell. One has 2 bids. Few items ending tonight.

SNOW Still trying to decide if i should buy the vest tops of yours that i am watching. Does my DD1 really need more tops?
