I've listed quite a few things on eBay. I've already sold a pair of brand new jeans I never wore when I was that size! The other items may or may not be in demand. I have noticed that it is easy to keep listings up long term, through the Buy It Now option. Eventually someone seems buy many of them. I just have to manage how long I want the items that I no longer want sitting in my closet!
My husband traveled for work in January. His travel payment came through this week. He kept his expenses under the allowed per diem, which made us $122.15. That money will be allocated towards the Big Goal.
By the way our Big Goal is to save $200K towards our next home, possibly four years from now. It's BIG. It may not be realistic, or attainable, but we are moving in that direction. It may be some of the funds will get used for something other than a house. But I didn't want to spend years renting and not making some headway towards a home if that make sense. The effort and the progress is where I am currently focused. It's not necessarily what we do with the money when the time comes. As a saver it may be really hard to part with a large pile of cash, but I also want to keep debt, if any, realistic, too!
Are you decluttering? Are you selling anything to bring in extra funds?

I used to sell on eBay but now I give it to a local place similar to Goodwill. eBay just charged so much in fees that I made very little and it took time to package things to ship. If I had a big value item though, I'd still probably do it.

I definitely go through spurts with eBay. There are many items that just don't make it worth it for sure! I've sold two more things since I posted.

I did some de-cluttering in January, but not nearly enough.
