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

mogs0 · 18/04/2009 20:10

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)?

TOMP I had to buy a 2nd hand ps2 recently cos ours broke!

I have filled out the listing form for the phone and will list it a bit later so hopefully more people will bid. Might be put off by the £20 start price though.

decluttering

got some nice feedback but done my usual trick cant find an item I need to post

SNOWBall4girlz · 24/04/2009 17:57

think I have a ps 1 lol

bubblerock · 24/04/2009 17:57

Yey, my gallery seems to be working ok now - phew!

TOMP - I just went to 'store' in the Auctiva control panel, chose a design and it added all my Ebay stuff to it! Then you just click on the items and it takes you to Ebay to Buy it. I'm really impressed by it to be honest. I'm sure there's other things you can do on it, but I haven't really looked into it all yet.

SNOWBall4girlz · 24/04/2009 18:02

The store thing does it show up as a store in ebay?
Looks good

bubblerock · 24/04/2009 18:16

No, mine justs takes you to normal Ebay but I think you can do fancy things to listings - I signed up to it for the gallery ages ago and never really bothered looking at what else it had to offer.

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 24/04/2009 19:41

bubblerock thanks for that, will investigate. was hoping it was something different to Ebay though to avoid their fees

bubblerock · 24/04/2009 20:34

Have a look at Auctiva>>store>>features. It has an 'Off Ebay' bit where you can have an ecommerce store without Ebay.

mobile phone
Can someone take a look and just check all looks ok for me please? Don't want to mess this one up! lol!

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 24/04/2009 21:10

oooh even better bubblerock, thanks :D be ideal to link to on here on for sale boards

Tortoise - your listing looks great, might be worth putting orange in the title too? if you can fit it? Nice clear photos

Tortoise · 24/04/2009 21:13

Good idea. Thanks.

bubblerock · 24/04/2009 22:01

Can you fit RAZR in the title on it's own? Only, if you search for Motorazr it doesn't bring up many, but if you type razr loads come up. The listing looks great though, nice clear pictures and good descriptions - just watch out for those scammers!

bubblerock · 24/04/2009 22:09

Does anyone know how to type 1/2 smaller in titles?

Tortoise · 24/04/2009 22:30

Thanks Bubble. I will try that.

AnybodyHomeMcFly · 24/04/2009 23:22

Good idea, I'm in.
Just bought a Phil n Teds on eBay for £225 so could do with making that back.

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 25/04/2009 09:20

sorry no bubblerock, is it a shoe size? I say 6.5?

mygirllollipop · 25/04/2009 11:41

Well so far I have £60 in paypal and £30 cash from collection.
Running out of steam now though (lazy!).

Will need the money now though as DD4 has smashed my laptop screen boohoo! (Add that to the DS, rotary airer and games that she has broken recently).

bubblerock · 25/04/2009 12:14

It's for DH's friend who sells stamps - he wanted it to look a bit more professional.

I'll probably list some more tomorrow, it's such a pain when you're not in the mood!

Tortoise · 25/04/2009 13:45

I'm not sure when i will list more. Can't afford to post too much at the same time.
Have bought some parcel bags off ebay!

mygirllollipop · 25/04/2009 15:33

BR - I have found that pasting from a word document can make the 1/2 sit one on top of another in the description - might work for title.

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 25/04/2009 17:10

bit of a bugger Aimsmum! how about Australian type? what are other sellers using as their titles?

bubblerock · 25/04/2009 17:44

Cheers mygirl - I'll suggest that to him

I had the same Aimsmum - bloody annoying especially as on the box the boots have "style - Ugg"! My policy complience stayed poor for ages after that!

bubblerock · 26/04/2009 17:51

It's very quiet in here - I hope you're all busy listing!

SNOWBall4girlz · 26/04/2009 18:26
