Starting to obsess about ebay...

[dotty.]

being at home with this broken toe hasn't kept me idle but I've realised I have become obsessed with flogging stuff on ebay now, it can't harm can it? Keeping track of everything and sorting the wrapping etc out is time consuming but is keeping me focused. At what stage should I start to worry about my mental capacity? When I am down to my last handbag or when I actually get up at 6am to go trawl the car boot sales!!!??? Not that I am anywhere near running out of my own stuff to sell! All those bargains I picked up with staff discount in Debenhams over the years have come into their own lol!

Ive been known to set my alarm...to get up and bid in the middle of the night....

Ebay is a way of life LOL x

[tinkerbell23]

Ps ive never made less than 150/200 quid each sale...remember to leave enough for your fees which seem to come off donks later when usually all my winnings are gone LOL x

That's it dot, make a few quid. I don't blame you.

[dotty.]

well it's been quite exciting to watch the money pour in for next to no effort! But I'm starting to want to get rid of loads of stuff I have no room for but that was quite expensive and on ebay you can't get the prices can you?

[tinkerbell23]

Stick a reserve on or a good starting bid? Or mabye even list on gumtree whilst you are feeling productive? X

[dotty.]

my daughter mentioned gumtree but i've never used it, have you tried it?

[lcg]

i've used gumtree and it's brilliant. because people are local they can come and pick up from you, so is even less hassle. thanks for your tips on ebay, btw. i have now sold my first couple of items too! x x

Just got my car from it! But give it a go!! Let me know if you do xx
