Anyone fancy a new challenge? £250 by Easter?

I'm not sure whether it's a bit early in the year for ebaying but I still have mountains of stuff to get rid of!!. Most of the over 99p stuff I had has sold but there is still a lot of things here that might be of interest to others.

After feeling a bit fed of ebay before Christmas I seem to have recovered a bit of enthusiasm for it again after receiving some lovely feedback on items that I didn't expect (I need to have more confidence in what I'm selling!!).

Anyone else want to join me?

Re-listed bits last night. Will see what else i have to list later.

Saltire · 21/03/2010 11:10

I had a clear out, but so far haven't sold much. I listed a lot of children's clothes (ages 7/8,8/9,and 10) all starting at 99p, but not much uptake yet. All were on 5 or 7 day listings, am wondering where I am going wrong! maybe need a re-think.

HellBent · 21/03/2010 15:31

Saltire I'd be interested in your 7-8 stuff, do you have a link?

HellBent · 21/03/2010 15:32

My stuff is here

Tortoise · 21/03/2010 16:34

I'm looking for 7-8 girls clothes if you have any?

Sorted out DS2's clothes and have some 8,9,10 yrs to list. Not much so might do a bundle and see what happens!

AnnieBeansMum · 21/03/2010 19:48

Can I join too? I've started another thread as I'm trying to get to £500 by June, but I think I could possibly do £250 by Easter. [hopeful emoticon]

My listings are here.

AnnieBeansMum · 21/03/2010 19:53

Just checked my link and it's not showing all my items??? Anyone have any idea what the last few things I put up aren't there?? Or am I getting the link from the wrong place? I'm clicking on my username at the top of the My Ebay page and then clicking on "Items for Sale". What am I doing wrong??

Tortoise · 21/03/2010 19:57

Annie If you have only just listed them they don't show up straight away.

I have taken photos and have a pile of clothes ready to list! Just need to make myself get on with it lol!

ShadeofViolet · 21/03/2010 20:04

Can I join in? I have spent alot of today trying to get my camera to work - why did DH have to buy such a complicated one!

HellBent · 21/03/2010 21:39

Get them listed before tonight ends Violet, free listing today!

Tortoise · 21/03/2010 21:45

my items. 22 showing so far. 27 listed in all.
I need to buy some more parcel bags in case these sell. I have run out!

ShadeofViolet · 21/03/2010 22:04

Have listed 6 items - three already have bids

Tortoise · 21/03/2010 22:05

Shadeofvoiolet I love it when that happens.

ShadeofViolet · 21/03/2010 22:06

Thanks HellBent - I would have sorted some more stuff out if I had known but its late now and I have had a glass or two!

PurpleFrog · 21/03/2010 23:24

Bah! I have just tried to list a couple more items before going to bed and it just cycles round asking for my username and password - it won't accept them. I had this problem on the last free listing day - I managed to list some of the items but then couldn't do the rest. Anyone else have this problem?

And yes - I have restarted Firefox and re-booted my mac.....

SNOWBall4girlz · 21/03/2010 23:45

well I have finally got some stuff listed
here
hopefully this will make me get the rest of my stuff on lol

waves to tortoise and hi to everyone else
better late than never
might just be naughty and join the other thread and aim for the summer !

MumGoneCrazy · 22/03/2010 00:04

Why is that you find something on ebay you really want...but its local pick up only and no where near you

Oh well.....

scully777 · 22/03/2010 13:32

Hello! Can I join you? I am trying to save £500 for a camera, but spent my last 20.00 in Paypal on a sweater

"Here is my stuff",

I have had quite a good week as well - I sold 6 out of the 11 that I listed on the "Free Listing Sunday". Four of the items I failed to sell were re-lists which required zero effort, so don't really count!

So, although I didn't officially join this this thread at the beginning, I have done quite well since the beginning of January and I must be nearing the £250 target! Before I go and add things up:

Is it £250 adding up all the sale prices before postage and fees?

Or is it £250 profit after postage and fees have been paid?

Thanks.

Hi ladies

Just started to list bits on ebay agan after not doing it for ages I thought you ladies might give me tips and urge me to keep listing as I am getting rid of all my baby stuff and all the clothes are immaculate.

I don't know ho to ink to all my stuff but I can link to one item and you can go from there!!

here

Dumbledoresgirl · 30/03/2010 19:20

I think this is called joining at the very last minute, but I would like to join if I may? I am not trying to raise money for Easter though, I need to raise £245 over the next few months to pay for my dd's school camp next year. I made about £50 after Christmas which took care of the first payment, but I need another £30 by the end of May I think.

I have 45 items listed. Tortoise, you may be interested in some of them as there are quite a lot of girls' clothes age 7-8. Also, some boys' clothes, one or two books and toys, and some women's clothes. I have quite a few watchers but only 5 items will sell at the moment.
Link here or if it doesn't work, search on my MN name.

My last listings didn't do very well. Stopping now until after Easter. After that i have a mixed pile of womens clothes to list. Charity shop had 3 items for £1 offer! Fingers crossed some of them sell.

Dumbledore Had a look at your items. None jumped out and said bid on me. Am looking for a spring coat age 8 if you or anyone has one to sell. Can't find any i like! They all seem to plain and dull lol.

Tortoise · 30/03/2010 22:29

Meant to add postage prices go up on the 6th.
