ebay question
P.R.Howler:
Put item start at the least you will take, put a reserve on it, you can relist it if it dont sell, if you have a high bid but not up to reserve you can put it up with buy now { but the buy now is the highest bid price so I dont use it }I have relisted an item numerous times before its sold, if it sells off ebay I put sold on ebay advert.
strapping young lad:
remember the min amount of reserve is 50 quid
ie if your item isnt worth 50 quid you cant put a reserve on it
one thing i would like though is that you can specify when the auction ends
currently they are preset days away, but i would like a function where you can set the end date and time.
freeagent:
when you choose to end the auction early you get to pick from a list of options, including 'the item was lost or broken' just use that one... they're hardly going to come around and look for it are they?
as for people overcharging for postage, its wrong, and actually againt ebay rules... you can ask for a refund... if i get stung i wait for them to give me feedback then leave a narky comment on theirs....
i usually charge postage plus the cost of a jiffy bag/ box.... reasonable in my opinion.
strapping young lad:
agreed
ive been caught out before when i charged a few quid for something and it cost me bout a fiver more!
my fault so since then ive been gauging it depending on weight and size of bag then go from there
down to experience really and common sense
muddyjames:
I just use ebay for advertising big things like cars and caravans. I refuse to pay the 3% of the ending price to ebay. If I sell a car say for 5k thats a big chunk going to ebay and a reserve of 4k is about £150. sod that.
Get it on for a 10 day listing for the min your willing to accept and then pull it off on day 9.
