I am a total Ebay addict and my friends and family call me "Del BOy" because of it!!
I buy and sell and have very few bad experiences throughout the few years I have used it.
I have made a steady £150-200 a month througout last summer clearing out my junk and selling on.
The great thing is if you sell on Ebay and then get paid into your Paypal account, you then have a reserve of money to buy any items that you may want without touching your own money (In the bank I mean)
We don't look anywhere else if we need something as you can often save £'S by looking on Ebay first.
Recently my brother in law who came to visit, who has a very successful business and spends his money at expensive stores, was very impressed with our dining table and chairs. He was gob smacked when I told him the table cost £40 and I got 6 faux leather brown chirs for £15 each.
He was inspired by this and has just won himself a table and 6 chairs for £130!!
It is quite embarrasing however when I point out all of the items I have in our house from Ebay, such as the sofa, beds, wall canvases, even a large indoor plant!!
The good thing is you can buy new or used and still save a few quid.
A good tip is to use the snipes or open up two pages and have your highest bid waiting to be confirmed on one page and keep refreshing the item you would like to win on the second, when it gets down to the last 3 seconds confirm your bid on the first page and fingers crossed you should win. I use this method every time I bid, sometimes get snipped but the majority of the time win.
I also get a bit cheeky and ask the seller if they have a buy it now price even if they have not put their item on ebay as that. Sometimes you get a bargain. I did this with our leather settes (3+2) got them both for £200 they were only 1 year old - beats paying 2k for a new one lkike we did in our credit days only to have our young children wreck it!
Optomist just checked through my cd's as I thought I had the cd you were after, was it an orange cover with yellow writing?
Couldn't find it but it is now bugging me!!
Would of gladly sent it to you if I found it as we have 500+ cd's and need to get rid as we are strugging to store them all.
Look out for them on Ebay lol!!
Sorry mother in law is here so it has been quite nice to sit and chat - even though it has been one way lol [:I]
