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)?

Yes I did Lily. All fine now.
Worth sticking bits on I think. Unless you can wait a bit longer and possibly get more money! Ebay is so unpredictable.

I find its going in little bursts, ive been selling kids clothes, dvds, toys and other bits and bobs. one week I only sold 1 dvd when I relisted the next week they all went. Same with the clothes Its so unpredictable atm.
Like tort sys I think its worth ago, I think atm everyone wants something for nothing too. Last week all of my stuff I sold went for starting prices-generally 99p but at least it went.

Well done SNOW.
I have 2 bits i should list tonight. May get it done now quickly!
Finding it difficult when there is no sign of anything, i already have listed, selling apart from the one item with a bid!

Plenty of time for more bidders though, but only 1-2 watchers on a few bits.

SNOWBall4girlz · 25/07/2009 23:45

well I have only got about 15 watchers in total and they are split over three items lol

I will list some bits tonight. Thinking about listing the boys clothes in a big bundle with BIN price. Will take ages to list it all separately.
Also need to re-list lots of unsold bits.

Aims I am watching the little black boots.
The slippers may have come from a clarks outlet type place hence plain box.

Tortoise · 28/07/2009 22:02

Xbox is my brothers friend, not mine. Shame, i could do with that money lol!

My Brothers friend hope it does! He is only selling it because he owes his mum money! He bought it a couple of weeks ago.
DD is around a size 11 so she will need to grow into them if i get them lol!
I have a couple of watchers already which is great. Now need some bids!

Tortoise · 29/07/2009 11:50

Arse! Ebay have removed my England kit listing.

Message said because Umbro International Limited reported it to us for violating their intellectual property rights. When eBay is notified by a rights owner of an intellectual property rights infringement.

I didn't list it as Umbro just as an England football kit.

Anyway round this?

Tortoise · 29/07/2009 23:26

I have had to add a note on the bottom of Xbox listing saying that i will not accept offers lower than starting price. So far had someone ask me to sell it to them for £180 and one offering £150!!
