eBay beginner admits it was easier (and quicker) than she expected to make £101.68 from a few bits of her old junk
Let me show you how you can make hard cash
on eBay from old junk around your house
(even if you’re secretly a little bit nervous of the internet)…
And how you could save up to 55% on normal supermarket shopping
Would YOU like that feeling of spare cash in your pocket? Or how about if your old junk could pay for guilt-free luxuries – the things you wouldn’t normally let yourself buy?
Announcing Claire’s new book (that has made her £101.68 before a single copy is sold!)
Once you know the secrets in this book, it can be the work of a few minutes to:
- Save Money:Nip onto eBay to buy things you would have bought at the shops – but for less.
(In a moment, if you’ll let me, I’ll show you one way to save 55% vs Tesco) - Put a few extra pounds in your pocket:
Nip onto eBay and sell something you don’t want any more – getting hard cash for clearing your clutter.
(old books, clothes, royal memorabilia, old computer equipment if you’ve bought a new one, a spare clock – pretty much anything.)
Guilt-free luxuries or savings for a rainy day? Or a bit of both?
You can put the money away for a rainy day... or spend it on the little luxuries you wouldn’t normally like to spend money on. After all, this is extra cash, so you don’t need to feel guilty about spending it! Or split the money in two – save half and spend half. Up to you.
This book, eBay One Step at a Time, will reveal these surprising tips, tricks & pitfalls
- The "it’s-so-daft-you’ll-slap-your-own-forehead" mistake some people make when buying on eBay. It means they can’t buy the thing they bid on after all. (You won’t make it once you know what it is) – read it on the inside of the front cover.
- Watch out for these little words by a photo on a ‘for sale’ listing. If they’re there be very careful.
- If you want to sell several things on eBay, which one should you never start with… and why? All is revealed on page 21 (and what to start with instead).
- How to include a photo when selling something... and the 5 tricks to make sure it has people thinking “That’s what I want”. Page 37.
- Congratulations – you won an auction and got what you were after for a pittance! But what do you do next? Find out on page 17
- What if you actually want to make a profit – for example from something you picked up for pence at a car boot sale? Here’s how - page 55
- The best 6 pence you’ll ever spend… page 41
This book is only the right book for you if:
- You have a computer and internet access (broadband or dial-up).
- You haven’t used eBay before – or you gave it a try and could do with some help.
And: - You’d like to find the things you buy at the shops for less (save pounds every week!)
OR - You have some things around the house you’d like to get rid of – and wouldn’t mind being paid for it!
It’s everything you need to know in order to save money by buying things on eBay instead of at the shops AND to make a few pounds selling things you don’t want any more.
Surprisingly easy to use (perfect for beginners) – here’s why:
Everything is explained in plain simple language. Any jargon that eBay uses is translated into English instead of gobbledegook. There are plenty of pictures of the screen with arrows saying things like “click here” & “type in the price you’re after here” to make it as easy as possible. You just follow the steps, one by one – simple as that.
Does it actually work?
Before I agreed to publish this book, I wanted proof. I thought it was a good idea – after all in these tough times everyone could do with knocking a bit off their shopping bill and putting a few pounds “spending money” in their pockets for luxuries...
But I wanted to be sure it would actually work – and that it’d be easy to use! So…
I grilled Claire (the Author). She told me how she’d spent weeks finding out everything you needed to know, checking with the experts to find out how it really works. Then she cut out all the mumbo-jumbo the experts love to bamboozle you with. She added in the bits the experts think are obvious – but are so easy to miss. But better yet…
She tried it out herself: She took a few odds and ends of clothes she didn’t want and listed them on eBay. And waited to see what happened...
The result?
For nipping onto the PC a few evenings, she had £101.68 (and a bit more space in the attic). Pretty good.
BUT…
But I’m a cautious person. Maybe Claire had been lucky. So I tried it for myself:
I decided I’d finally get rid of some old, out of date electronic equipment I had. I got 2/3 as much as I paid for it when it was brand new twelve years ago. Much better than I expected. Then I sold two guitars I bought six years ago and never really played. I bought them both new, so I expected to get about half what I paid. One got 2/3 of what I paid – not bad. But I got MORE than I paid for the other one – even though I was selling it as second-hand!
And since it’s “extra” money, I don’t mind spending it on things I wouldn’t normally buy – extra little luxuries.
A recession-busting tip virtually no-one ever thinks of – obvious once you know:
Now and then when someone’s selling something on eBay, they’ll mis-spell. Which means people can’t find it. Which means no-one bids on it. And that means that if you do find it (by looking under likely mis-spellings), it’ll be a real bargain.
I tried it a minute ago. I looked for Gillette Mach 3 razor blades.
Price in Tesco: £9.29 a pack.
On eBay: £7.05
On ebay, but spelt with only one ‘t’: £5.09 – brand new. £4.20 less than Tesco. That’s 55% cheaper!
Now, I admit £4.20 won’t change your life, though it’ll add up over the year. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The same trick works for dozens of other things. And once you know it, it’s easy to use.
That’s just one small tip from this book. But it could pay for the book on its own – and so could umpteen other things you’ll learn!
Imagine it working like that for you:
Have a look around for books you don’t want to read again or clothes that you never wear any more. Or old nick-nacks or decorations, stuck in a cupboard. Even old coins could be worth a tidy sum. What do you have that you don’t want any more?
I guarantee you'll be happy with the book - and if you're not, you can have your money back

There’s just one more thing…
Over a cup of tea, Claire & I were chatting about all the gloom in the news. We talked about websites other than eBay that can save you a few pounds for spending money or for a rainy day (or both!). I gave her a tip I used to save me over £100 this year (it took about half an hour). She mentioned a website that saved her £39.99... and another that saved £17.
And then we both had the same thought. We couldn’t really keep these tips secret – shouldn’t we let you have them, too?
So we spent a few late nights tapping away at the computer and came up with:
A few of the things you’ll discover
- How I saved over a hundred pounds this year in less than half an hour (this is the one that inspired the booklet in the first place).
- How to turn an old coat that doesn’t even fit you any more into a brand new hammer drill... or a new watch... or a few DVDs you fancy watching...
- Old books, CDs or DVDs you’d like to get rid of? Here’s how you can sell them online using a website that sells more than WHSmiths’ site!
- Cheaper alternatives to eBay (and when using them is in your interests)
- Make money when you shop? Crazy as it sounds, you can with this website.
- Petrol prices can’t make up their minds - up, down, up, down. And there always seems to be more up than down. Beat them with this website (no, you don’t have to order a tanker through the post...)
- The website that I nearly didn’t include on moral grounds... and why I did in the end.
Any one of these tips could easily save you more than the cost of the eBay book – even aside from whatever you’ll save or make using eBay. But instead of charging for them...
I’ll give you Recession Busters: 7 Simple ways to save money (or even make a few bob) on the internet, free, if you order the eBay book now. What’s more, you can keep it even if you decide to return the eBay book, as a thank you for having a look.
