Anyone Fancy Joining Me? - Emigrating and Need £500

37 replies

AnnieBeansMum · 21/03/2010 19:26

Just as the title suggests. We are emigrating at the end of June and need to make as much as possible on E-bay between now and then.

Perhaps others could do it saving for a summer holiday??

Paypal balance is at £134.60 at the moment, so still have a very long way to go!!

I've sold a couple of things today so my list is pretty small at the moment, but here it is.

I'm on the £250 for easter thread but I think I'll join here too [slut emoticon]

At the risk of taking over your whole thread I meant to add if you are listing things today is the last day of free listing so get some more on tonight!

I thought you meant you wanted company going abroad. I could do with a holiday!

Here are my current items. We've had quite a good week for sales this week. The paypal balance is currently sitting at £180!! Really hoping to hit my goal of £500 for the end of June. It would help so much towards the cost of flights.

my stuff not much at the mo

does anybody else not like the way the pics are displayed?
I used to like the big pic at the bottom
I always add pics into the listing its free and people get to see the item properly.
Off to find more to list we are upgrading to a holiday cottage instead of a caravan this year so every penny helps

ButterPie · 08/04/2010 23:17

my stuff
For some reason not all my stuff is showing up there. How many items are other people seeing?

ElizabethWakefield · 08/04/2010 23:37

I am on the other thread too, but here is my stuff

Good luck with the emigrating fund!

ButterPie · 09/04/2010 00:28

Have you listed the half pint t shirt twice on purpose?

ElizabethWakefield · 09/04/2010 10:13

Yes, I have 2 of them

SNOWBall4girlz · 11/04/2010 00:16

E-bay has stalled for us. We have sold all of our items and are in the middle of a dispute over two items at the moment because of non-payment.

As much as I love it - I also really hate e-bay sometmes.

I have had a quick listing-fit (as my DH calls it) and at the moment, this is what I have listed. I am really starting to worry that we aren't going to make £250, let alone our £500 target.

Can I still join, I have been meaning to for ages. I too need to make some money for the holidays in August and have mountains of things to get rid off, specially toys. It might give an incentive to carry on listing!

baabi · 30/04/2010 13:27

Here is what I have managed to list up to now

Hi baabi! Of course you can join.

I'm trying to get motivated to sit and list things, but am struggling. We move out of our house in 3 weeks and whatever hasn't sold by then will go to the charity shop. We desperately need every penny so I need to get busy on e-bay.

Here are our listings so far. Hopefully I will be able to add quite a few more over the weekend.

Hi, thanks for replying. I know, it is difficult to get the time and then when you do to actually get motivated to do something, but I have just done a kids bedroom clearance and we have lots that need to go. And of course the holiday looms in the horizon and I really need spending money for that. I shall be busy listing this weekend!

bilblio · 30/04/2010 21:39

Oh can I join?
I've just started selling things this past week. I'm going through the cupboards getting rid of toiletries and perfumes people have bought me. When will they learn that I'm allergic to everything so toiletries are the worst presents ever? Or maybe they just don't like me
Really pleased though, one perfume has sold for £46

I've got loads of clothes to list too, I've lost a lot of weight recently and never want to need those sizes again. Also going to sort through DD's baby things and get rid of the ones I never liked.

More up today and my lovely terry nappies on The Used Nappy Company. A part of me will be very sad if they sell, but we so desperately need the money.

It's been a busy (and profitable) weekend!! More sold and more listed. Currently paypal sits at £230. That will pay for the cats' flight back to Canada! Yay! Must keep going though - another £220 will pay for our shipment.

Now I really need my nappies to sell, but I don't think they are going to.
