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 had a very disappoiting weekend, total of £7.00 but still waiting for payment of one item, buyer in Italy and bid without checking postage, which is quite high. I have the feeling I am not going to get paid as no contact whatsoever, even tough I emailed him twice! Anyway listed a few more things, lot of watchers and a couple of bids already.

Had a very good weekend!! Paypal balance currently at £284!! Woohoo!!

Still, very sad about my nappies. No one wants them on MN, Gumtree or the Used Nappy Company. I don't want to throw them away but we have no space in the shipment for them

AnnieBeansMum - check if there are any NCT sales near you in the next month or so. You can search on their website with your postcode. You would definitely sell your nappies there if they are priced well, plus any other kid's stuff you still have left.

Thanks for the idea purplefrog, but our car has already been sold, so we are sort of limited to how far we can travel. The nearest NCT sale is 15 miles away!

I am seriously getting sick of E-bay though. I feel like I live on this computer and on ebay! Still, we only have 2 weeks left in this house and everything has to sell - we're coming up a couple hundred pounds short to pay off our debt.

Our listings as of now. More to come over the weekend.

Just to remind you about free ebay listing this weekend for auction only items with any start price. If something not listed yet or listed but no bids then why not list this weekend with high auction start price for 3 days, 5 days, 7 days and 10 days. Gives you 4 chances to sell without listing charges and the first one of these to get a bid cancel the other 3 sales for the same item.

Oooh...I didn't know about this. I think our sofa and bed will have to go up tomorrow! Thanks

Ok I'm done. I cannot bear the thought of listing anything else. I spent all day yesterday on e-bay and all morning today. I'm going to get me and DD (2)dressed and then we are going to walk into town and have lunch. I need some time with my girl.

How is everybody doing? Just had a good run this week the Postman Pat and Fireman Sam toys have been doing better than expected!I now have just over £100 on our holiday fund. I have to get listing again tough, lots of Bob the builder toys to be listed. DS, 4, decided Bob is for babies and cleared every Bob the Builder toy from his room, and he has lots!

I have got lots of little bits to go up but it is so time consuming doing it don't you think? You have to be patient.

AnnieBeansMum · 14/05/2010 12:14

We have had a fab week! All of our big items of furniture have sold as well as our more expensive items (mobiles etc).

Paypal balance is....

£479.16!!!

Woohoo! There are still a few bits on E-bay waiting to sell. The sofa has gone and collection is arranged, they just need to complete checkout.

I need to make £20.84 and then I can say that I made my £500 target.

You have done brilliantly. Well done

Thanks - we have made a lot of money on ebay, but I am glad we are now at the end of it. I am sick to death of ebay!!
