Got a neutral. There reason is really crap and has annoyed me!
They have said the jeans were very small for an 18, more like a 16! I went by the label size and sizes do vary.

Will do some re-listing tonight!

Count me in! I made about #300 (my pound sign has disappeared) before Christmas last year. I'll aim for %500 holiday money this time. Not going away till October so can do a big clear out between now and then.

Tortoise · 20/06/2010 23:01

Re-listed and a few newly listed items added tonight.
Fingers crossed for bids. Have bought DD2 a DS lite off Ebay for her Birthday so need to make some more money to make up for that lol!

4 out of 13 have 1 bid! Is Ebay quiet at the moment?
Have a Rainbow Aquadraw to list at some point and a ELC baby activity toy.

I sold 4 items out of 11 last week and have £21 in PP. Hoping to do more but have been visiting family for over 2 weeks.

Tortoise · 27/06/2010 11:37

Playboy crop jeans which didn't sell last time, are now on £13.

Now have DS2's guitar to list and a big car mat/rug! Will do them later.

My clear out carries on, I am taking advantage of DH being away for two weeks and having the evenings all to myself. Last week was not good, a few lovely bundles of clothes went for very little, but this week things have picked up. Mission for tonight is to list a large amount of HappyLand toys, the DCs really have not taken to them but we seem to have lots.
I hope everybody else is doing OK.

coolkat · 07/07/2010 20:48

I have listed quite a few bits over the past few days, things a bit tight so trying to getrid of the pile of stuff I have been meaning to ebay for a while!

Tortoise · 08/07/2010 20:11

hope you don't mind me butting in Coolkat - but I noticed you are wasting a lot of keyword space in your item titles. No one uses the search words gorgeous/beautiful/condition etc - maybe use the space for words like blue/pink/cotton/floral/stripe/sleeveless etc.
You have some lovely items.

5inthebed · 09/07/2010 08:10

I've not listed anything since last month, but in the middle of moving so will have loads to list soon.

Tortoise · 11/07/2010 22:15

my latest listings
Finally got around to listing tonight!

coolkat · 12/07/2010 19:43

Will bear that in mind SLM, most of my stuff ends soon. Not expecting much but better than it being sa waiting to be listed!

Tortoise · 13/07/2010 21:28

Added a couple more items tonight.

coolkat · 14/07/2010 20:47

Wow 37 for my White stuff dress, no I panic incase they pick fault I have searched it for any sign of any minor flaw but it is immaculate I only wore it twice!

All my kids stuff did rubbish and I had a bit of a run in with the chap who bought 3 items as he wanted much bigger discount on postage, in fairness I could see his point but my point was I did not offer discount he did not ask before and he got the items for bargain Not only that but m postage is really reasonable..

What would you have all done??

Tortoise · 15/07/2010 12:00

Great price for the dress CoolKat. I always discount multiple purchases. I weight all the items together then work out postage from that then it is still fair postage.
Have had people win more than 1 item and pay for both separately! Their loss .

I have 4 items with 1 bid so far. Need to do better than the lol!

Hello all!

I have gone through my wardrobe and listed the shamefully large amount of clothes I have in there that I have never worn and still have tags on here

I'm going to add some more tomorrow night hopefully, how are you all doing?

Tortoise · 15/07/2010 21:07

CaptainKirksNipples Love the boyfriend jeans. Can you tell me the waist size please? I'm a 14 normally so expect they will be too big.

My items are doing OK. Got some watchers plus 5 will sell.

BarbieLovesKen · 30/07/2010 11:44

Hi all,
Can I join in too? Its my first time selling on ebay, have came to end of my paid maternity leave so trying to raise a few quid for the Summer months.

Would really appreciate any tips - I have often bought on ebay and I think that Im really after messing up with my items, listed all with no reserve thinking that they would get more attention, I do have quite a few watchers and a couple of bids but at the minute its looking like Ill be stupidly be selling Il Gufo and Catimini for 0.01p each!!!!!!

shop.ebay.ie/cinderella101005/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Kids stuff done. Have cleared out my own stuff this weekend, so want to list in next week or so but dont want to make the same silly mistake (Im sniffle selling a genuine Louie Vuitton handbag, coast dresses, shoes etc...).

Thanks all!! very best of luck

Tortoise · 30/07/2010 15:23

Barbie I hope you get some more bids. You can end the listing early if there is anything you are really not happy about ending at a low price.
Is there anyway to show GBP cost? I know nothing about euros and that would put me off bidding.

I have some bits to list this weekend. Have under 3 weeks to make some spending money to tale on holiday!!

OP posts:
Tortoise · 30/07/2010 15:25

also im not so keen to buy from sellers with 0 feedback. Can you buy a couple of cheap bits to get some good feedback?
