Quick update on my progress:
Made a small £10.23;£8.88 from book sales and £1.35 from cashback credit.
I was able to list a few items on eBay after my wardrobe clear out, and currently have 7 items with bids. This should bring in more money towards my target of £100. I’m planning on another round of eBay listing this Friday.

Congrats! Can you give me any pointers as to what percentage of clothing sells on its first listing on ebay? I am currently running at 15%, which seems low to me.

Hi The Lost Goat; I really think it depends on what you’re selling. I usually start my clothing at really low prices, so get quite a high sales %. Out of all the items I have for sale at the moment I’m only going to make about £30 (so far) on 7 items. Not too much, but better than nothing.
Good luck with your sales
Great job on the clothing. I tend to price lower on my book listings. Basically, to get it off the shelf and funds in my hand. Pricing it lower by a buck or two doesn’t hurt my results too much. And I have a cleaner home, too.
