Ebay Crazy

I am a massive fan on Ebay. I've been a member for years now but only really sell things on the odd occasion. However, in the last 3 weeks I've been on fire. I've sold one thing already but I currently have two things up for grabs and you could be the lucky owner...

In the right hand corner we have this rather lovely Tiffany & Co. Necklace that I must admit, I love greatly and it's so so beautiful but it's time to let it go...if you get my drift.

In the left hand corner we have these bright and playful Nike Air 6.0 iD trainers which again I wish I didn't have to sell them but in fairness it's about time because...they look shocking on me. I'm most certainly not cool enough to wear them in the slightest and you can tell I'm uncomfortable in them which makes it even worse. I'm much more of a converse/vans girl but they were just calling my name...nice one me!


If you are interested in these trainers, just click on the picture. For some reason that seemed to work but it wasn't having it with the necklace haha! I'm really sorry but I can only sell them to people in the UK. Sorry :(
It sucks, I know!

Ebay is such a genius idea. You get to get things for bargain prices AND sell things for sometimes good prices, nearly always reasonable. This means extra dollar for new things! My gosh I love it. If you ever need extra cash it's a good way off getting some as well as getting rid of things you don't use anymore. I can't recommend it enough :)

I recommend if you are selling things to wait until the weekends where you can put your items up for FREE! This means ebay won't charge you for it and you can get as much profit as possible. They usually do one once a month, so stock up on all your little bits and pieces and shove them on it one go! Defo worth it.

Always put up a picture. No one is going to buy it if you don't..simple really.

I also recommend that if you are selling to be super polite and helpful. Write in the description that they can message you if they have questions and keep messaging once the bidding is over to the person who has bought it. They are going to review you at the end and you want a positive one because people can see if you get a negative one. This means some people may not want to bid for your item as they don't think you will be a good ebayer. Sad time!

Try and send your item as quick as possible! People like it when it gets there fast. Let them know when you will post it and when you have posted it. Then it's the post office's fault :) Not yours.

I also recommend that if you are buying, don't bid until the last minute, that's when the real game begins. If you are dying for that item then get your bid ready, refresh the page within the last 10 seconds and then bid. Hopefully you will then get it! Sorry if you don't.

Hope this is helpful!!!

Much Love

My First Post :)

Here we go...

So this is my first post and already I have made an error when it comes to creating a blog...

Being the absolute genius that I am, when I was asked for my google mail account, I put in my University one...bad move!

This now means that I can't delete it because the Uni are the ones that have control of my account. Rest assure, this is a new one that I made within 5 minutes of making my first account. There is now a random account out there which is mine but belongs to my Uni...this will never be used haha!

How I manage to make such a blunder before even writing a post I don't know however, it is more than typical of me to do something like this.

Onto more pressing matters, I am a student going into my second year at Uni in September. Not gonna lie, I am more than excited but nervous...what is wrong with me? Freshers, I can understand why you are nervous but trust me, you will have the time of your life. Second years however should not be nervous I don't think and for some reason I appear to be. Please tell me I'm not the only one. Here's praying.

Why I have only just decided to make a blog I don't know as I have being doing jack all with my summer. I have been on holiday to Tenerife with a friend which was AMAZING and I have seen all my friends a bazillion times however, when it comes to actually earning money, this has not occured. Don't get me wrong, I have tried but for some reason no one wants me! Arggggh.

Things have been picking up though...

1. I have been to V fest and saw my favourite band ever again...THE KILLERS. I think my Uni friends were shocked at just how much I love them, lets just say I got some odd looks, I cried and I sang every word to every song whilst jumping like a kangaroo. My eye also got suncream in it and inflated, no word of a lie. I couldn't open it. You know in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, where Hermione blows up Harry's face so the snatchers don't recognise him? That was my face/eye...it was a beautiful sight. I had to go to the first aid tent...my life!

Some of the Uni Clan at V Fest :) There are 12 of us in total plus a few others
who stay for the weekend who we have adopted as our own,
such as my friend Charlotte's boyfriend Alex.
(This was before my eye went funny!)

2. I GOT WORK EXPERIENCE AT THE BBC! This is the best news I could have got this summer. It is my all time dream to work for the BBC in the future, preferably Radio 1. More than excited for this and hopefully will give me some connections for the future. I currently have a radio show at the Uni radio...I shall give you the link when I'm back at Uni and there is actually something being played through the airwaves.

Yeah, that's about it; I love that there are only two points but to be quite frank I am rather pleased by both.

So thank you for getting this far if you did, I realise this is the longest post ever for a first one. I shall update you as much as I can on what has been occuring in my life as well as giving a few recipes (not blowing my own trumpet but I make THE best brownies) which I will give to you at some stage once I get a few more people following my blog, some random facts that I have learnt which make me happy and no doubt Harry Potter posts will occur at some point (I'm a little obsessed). I will also probably post a few videos of music I have found that I would like to share.

Thanks for reading

Much love
