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)?

Aims I always worry i will do that to someone! Luckily haven't so far.

I still can't add a listing. As soon as i try to re-list or do a listing the sign in page comes up and when i put my details in and click it comes back up. Very annoying!

SNOWBall4girlz · 22/04/2009 22:47

tortoise I have managed to list a few things and relist a couple more but it i soooo sloooow lol

do you use turbo lister?

SNOWBall4girlz · 22/04/2009 22:52

AIMS I did that to some one but they never sent the suff back started a dispute and won !

The items I sent were lovely but the buyer was not. Offered to let her keep the stuff and send the correct item free.. offered to post the correct item to Italy for her (was for a present) ....but still got a a neg and she got a refund from paypal

Wow, aimsmum. That was very generous of your seller. I would also be very happy with that!

Tortoise · 23/04/2009 12:46

I use turbo lister on the PC but am using the lap top at the moment. Trying to list using the sell tab but it still won't work. Wouldn't let me sign in today either so i changed my password and it worked. Have no idea what is going on!

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 23/04/2009 12:50

Glad you got it sorted Tortoise.

I've managed to get round to listing 3 items but have more to photogrpah when cleaned.

Talking of photographs, small items work well in a white bathtub apparently - as long as it's clean, don't want stray curlies in your listing photo!!

notcitrus · 23/04/2009 13:40

Grr...had my first idiot buyer. Emailed me saying 'don't want item any more hope that's ok'
I told him he'd entered into a contract, it would be free for him to relist the item on Ebay and he could use my picture of it. And I look forward to receiving payment.

We shall see. Had to be one out of 50 items I guess. On the plus side, my broken walkman went for £20 quid!

jennylindinha · 23/04/2009 14:20

Ooh, I've been inspired by you lot to place my first ebay listing in yonks! Fingers crossed for a sale...

I'm still no closer to listing anything!! I have a plan-free weekend coming up so I'll make a special effort to get some things on - there's lots to choose from!!

ok I seem to be down to using dd2s kidizoom for pictures

and I need to find batteries first
this is not starting well is it lol

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 23/04/2009 17:29

Mummydoc, I don't do clothing much tbh there's no profit in it, the only things I will ebay are things I was given or things that I got for very little ( car boot/charity shop)

bubblerock · 23/04/2009 17:49

I'll join in this time - I need to raise funds for school hols Judging from threads on MN there seem to be a lot of whinging buyers at the moment! My Ebay shop is doing quite well but I've got my personal items ending Sunday and no activity so far Need to find some more to list this weekend - here's my 9 items so far..

Tortoise · 23/04/2009 18:01

My post earlier didn't quite sound right! When i said 'it worked' that was just the sign in bit. Still can't get sell to work. It keeps coming up with th sign in page.

What do i do?

jimblejambles · 23/04/2009 18:14

Woohoo I have sold a bundle of baby toys for 30 and have got a bid of £25 for ds1 thomas train track. Just got to list all the other stuff thats cluttering up my hall way.
And I have got a company coming round that buys your unwanted clothes for 50p a kg. I have got 6 bin bags full so far so that should help towards my £300 goal

bubblerock · 23/04/2009 19:07

Tort, can you get onto items you're selling and click sell similar to get into selling?

Tortoise · 23/04/2009 19:58

Bubble Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried it and , no, still won't work! What would be causing it? I really don't know.
Might have to down load turbo lister to laptop just to try and list it then delete from lappy! What a pain!

Jimble Wow 6 bin bags full? Bet that is a few kgs!

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 23/04/2009 21:19

Tortoise I'd get to the ebay help pages the live help thing actually, something untoward might have gone on?
