Well, you will maybe make 1.00 on each one(at least only the 1st 2 I looked at), so maybe it's a good thing?

 

Not sure how you are going to ship them for 3.00, though - maybe to your neighbor.

 

But you are correct  - nothing hows up for me under 'see sellers other items'.

You are correct, your items do not appear in search.  Even searching under advanced search with your userid returns nothing.

 

contact eBay.

 

(Even if they did appear it would be on page 6 when sorting by lowest + shipping first, there almost no money to be made on games, unless they are highly collectible).

If  you keep revising them before they become live  then they are never going to index. if you need to make changes then wait for them to be lactively seen then  certain changes can be made without interrupting them. but revising them before they are seen just cancels out their position and it needs to start all over again with everyone jumping ahead.

 

it is like being in the checkout lane and almost getting there and then you remember something and leave to go get it and then when you come back you start all over at the back of the line again.

 

so don't keep revising the items until after they become seen or better yet review your items right away and make changes before hitting the submit button. There are buyers out there that don't like seeing to many revisions on a listing.

I've sold a game before and it only cost me 2.75 to ship. Idk where you live but it dont cost much to ship a game that dont weigh that much. And making money ain't the goal for me right now. Im playing the long game.

That's 2.75 without counting the ebay fee on shipping. At 10%, that's another 28 cents, making it 3.03.

 

Money might not be your goal now, but why pay someone to buy your items?

Can video games be shipped by media mail?

The answer is no, you cannot ship video games with media mail. If you get caught, they will give you a warning. After that they will start charging first class on all media mail shipments and demanding buyer pay to receive the item.

 

Video games must be shipped first-class

 

You can ship DVD's, CD's, books, etc, with media mail, and the price of shipping the average item is 2.75 and up

 

On average I pay about $3.50 to ship a single game, and upwards of $4.50 depending on the zone.

It did used to be $2.75, back in 2016. Not anymore. The lowest rate I've paid to ship a game this year was $3.08, with the average being $3.50. Shipping rates have really gone up.

Hi, it can take up to 24 hours for a new listing to show up in Search. The other poster is correct, revisions also can keep an item in the indexing mode. Good luck to you, your listings look great.

 

  • Your listing may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 24 hours in some circumstances). eBay can't guarantee exact listing durations,
