How to finance Christmas by selling on eBay
Yay! I made £200 on eBay this week by selling just six things which have lived in the loft for the last few years.
Actually that’s not completely true the first thing I sold was the new Nokia mobile phone which was sent to me by the phone company for free last month. As my current mobile is perfectly adequate (and I finally know how it works) I decided to leave the new one in the box and sell it on eBay.
It reached the great price of £100 which I’m absolutely thrilled with as I would far rather have a new pair of boots than a pretty pink camera phone but I’ve just received an email from the would be purchaser telling me that he can’t pay me until next Friday until his pay cheque comes in. He asked whether I’d accept a cheque instead of PayPal but I’ve been warned by my hubby and others that this is a big No No with mobile phone sales and other ‘big ticket items’ on eBay as there are loads of dodgy geezers out there with new scams trying to rob people of their cash. Hopefully my experience won’t involve anyone like that but I’m not counting my eBay sales until the PayPal bucks are safely in my account.
