Thanks, cybersolutions! I did up the price on the china, and some of the others so it would pay for the 'FREE SHIPPING'. I'll revise the listings. I have 3 pieces that I haven't listed yet that do have a couple chips, so will either sell 'AS IS', or add to the donate bag.

In my experience, the chipped china does not sell. It does matter where the chip is.  I recently sold a set of 4 dinner plates where one plate had a chip but it was on the back, so they were fine with it.

Also on clothing, you need to give measurements. Bust measurements and length.  Measure 2 inches down from underarm seam

for bust measurements.  Measure across the chest and double. Measure sleeves from shoulder seem and lay clothes flat when measuring.  A Large is not always the same.  People will email you for this.  I just started listing clothes this year and I have learned.  Always think of yourself as the buyer and think of any thing you would need to know.  This also cuts down on returns because the item does not fit.

Thanks, Margaret. 

I'll place them in the trash. They were all part of different groupings so it was probably 1.99 to 4.99 for the grouping, depending on the number. 2 cups and a saucer have chips & a dinner plate has the band fading on one side.

Great! Thanks, Will revise the listings I have now & keep that in mind for the pieces waiting to be listed.

Margaret;

You said: ' Measure across the chest and double' how do I indicate that in the listings? And the bust measurement - is that for women only?

[cyber*solutions]

Yes this bust measurement is for women, mens is the chest measurement from arm pit to arm pit, you do not double the mens measurement.   You put all of this in your description of your listing

Margaret

[annb612]

So first I measure the 2 inches down, then across & double? 

[cyber*solutions]

Yes, for womens bust -  Measure 20 inches across will be a 40 in bust

OK. That makes sense.

Hi all!
I am new to the group and new to selling on eBay. I've spent a lot of time buying and now hope to get some of the money I've spent on frivolous things back. I hope even more that I'll make more money than I spent, I have several auctions ready, in a draft. I'm just scared after reading what some seller's go through. Wish me luck!
