Blender or Blunder?   

[mam98031]

If it isn't your responsibility to know this stuff, who's is it?  You are just setting yourself up for problems by your own creation.

What is your listing number?  If you don't know how much it weighs, how do you know what shipping method you need to use?  Does your listing comply with the selling rules of Ebay or did you even check?

We need a little more information in order to offer any help. First off, what is the name of the blender and what are the dimensions? As far as weight goes, you can check that online at the manufacturers website and then add enough weight to cover your box and packing material. You should also check ebay solds on that model to get a better idea of what you can actually expect it to sell for. You can set your shipping up for calculated shipping and the buyer will be charged based on where it needs to be shipped to. Other than what I have said so far, I do not know how else we can help you.

It is good you haven't listed a bunch of stuff, you need to get a handle on how to sell and ship first.  There is a learning curve to selling online. I don’t recommend just sticking something up for sale and winging it. Too many things can go wrong.

Package up your blender, taking care to adequately protect it for shipping. (It is going to be big and heavy, and will cost a pretty penny to mail.) Then take the package to the post office or UPS. Since you don’t have a postal scale, get an exact weight and an estimated cost to ship from the carrier. 

Check Completed listings on eBay to get an idea of what your model blender is selling for, and price yours accordingly. To find Completed, click on Advanced to the right of the Search bar; it will take you to a page where you can fill in the specifics and click on the Completed listings option, located about halfway down the page.

Review the eBay User Agreement and Money Back Guarantee, links below. Also read up on the Selling help pages on eBay, link below. After doing all this, you are better prepared to list your blender. Good luck to you and come back to the forum with any questions.

If you are going to sell on e-Bay, you must have a digital postal scale.  You can get an excellent one on e-Bay for $25 or less.

I went down to my local Post Office

they sell digital scales there, for 25 dollars.

Tagging - see my PM and save yourself some trouble. Newer seller - high priced item = bad ending.

Many times you can find the shipping weight and package dimensions on the river or the w mart.  Also might help you price

Those weights are invariably wrong, so I wouldn't recommend their use blindly.
