The shops are continuing to slash prices in an attempt to keep consumers spending so on I go with my eBay sales. This time it was the turn of my xbox to face the ‘everything must go’ treatment with all my games being listed on eBay as I have not even switched the console on for over 9 months!

I recently listed another 12 items for sale on eBay to make use of the first positive feedback I had received. Seven of these sold for a total of £47.44, with the majority of this coming from a suit that I sold for £18.
However I have to deduct £15.96 for postage, £3.03 for eBay fees and another £3.03 for PayPal fees. This leaves me with a net profit of £25.42 for 3 hours work, which works out as a disappointing rate of just £8.47 per hour.

I received another cashback payment from Quidco today, this time for £37 for two bookmakers that I signed up with during my Euro 2008 Betting Challenge.
This brings my total profit from Euro 2008 to £237.41 with hopefully another £25 cashback to come from the two other betting accounts I signed up with during the tournament.
£37
Two weeks ago I wrote about my plans to sell all the stuff floating around in my flat that I no longer need. To start with I listed 10 items on eBay ranging from old work shirts that no longer fit me to computer games that I haven’t played in years.
In total seven of these items sold for a total of £46.06. Posting these items cost me £15.49, with eBay and PayPal taking £3.23 and £2.97 respectively for their part in the auctions.
£24.37
I received my first cashback payment from Quidco this week. A total of £16.24 was credited to my bank account with £20 of this being earned from my first steps into matched betting. Another 72p cashback was earned when I purchased a computer game from Play.
What I haven’t yet included is the first £5 of your annual earnings that Quidco take as a subscription charge so that reduced my earnings and I earned another 52p cashback from another Play order that I had not posted about.
