Goal 13 ) Sell something on e-bay – CHECK!

Late on Wednesday night, my first ever item on ebay sold. And then another, and then another 🙂

I posted the first 4 items for a 5day auction, starting at 0.99c. Probably because it’s my first time, I was eager to see what was happening, how many people watch items, how the bids go up etc. So everytime I sat down to feed B2 (which is currently every 3-4hours during the day) I would check in to see if anything had happened. After 2 days I remembered something very important – I’m not very patient.

Oh my gosh! It’s like watching grass grow 🙂

By early on Day 3, I setup the push notifications on my phone, so I could just check when something actually did happen. I found that a bit exciting getting random messages – hehe. Simple things amuse simple minds 🙂

Thinking about it, it could become very addictive. Especially if using it to de-clutter and getting rid of things when you just want to get rid of them and don’t care if you get anything for them!

Unfortunately though, I found it took quite a bit of time to do. I suppose this would get quicker as I got more practice and knew what I was doing, but at this stage I probably just don’t have the time since all the spare time that I don’t have is spent on my goals and this blog! (Sorry housework, I just don’t love you as much.)

Postage was also a pain. And then a pain. And then a pain some more. (And then a literal pain – the person looking after the kids ended up at hospital). But it’s a long story I’m not going into. All I’m going to say is… If it ain’t worth putting in a 500g prepaid satchel, it ain’t getting listed 🙂

But perhaps I’ll just try and list the odd item here and there from the “ebay” box I’ve been chucking things in for about 6months now! And I really need to start goal 25 ) Get rid of ex-demo Tupperware – sell, donate, giveaway. hmmm…  Ok, so maybe I can justify a bit of time 😛
