I actually sold something!

Tweet

Both the girls having been having a clear-out and reorganisation of their bedrooms, and consequently I have a heap of things around me here in my workspace waiting for me to donate them to a charity shop or give them away on Freegle or do something else. There are some books and toys which we all loved and can’t bear to part with, even if they are now outgrown, but Bratz dolls are not one of those, so I thought I would try listing them on Ebay and see if anyone would buy them. Even if I only get a few pounds I can then use the money to buy the girls something else – none of us is averse to second-hand bargains. And if they didn’t sell they could go to the charity shop anyway. Well rather to my surprise, someone did buy them! I didn’t really expect that because, as I’ve mentioned here before, I have had no luck selling things on Ebay for the past few years. Things I’ve listed for sale have just been relisted over and over and over again, receiving 0 views, 0 views, 0 views… Buoyed by that success, I tried listing something else I’ve had waiting around for years, and that sold as well! I don’t know whether something has changed in the Ebay system, or something has changed among buyers, anyway I was pleased and hope I can get rid of a few more things! Has anyone else had any luck selling things recently? All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2026.
