In order to make sure that my listings were going to up to date with the
changes in postage, I changed the postage to first class package and put
in the weight. 8 oz. Every one of these when it ended charged 2.05 for
the postage to the buyer! Postage...
I just sold 7 items through the GSP. Of course, I didn't realize that
until I had already pulled the items, found a big enough box,
painstakingly fit them all in, weighed it, went to do the invoice and
got the notice that the item sold through the GS...
I bought at auction 8 items from one seller. Before I bid or bought any
of them, I emailed the seller and asked about combined shipping because
the shipping cost was high for one item, but I figured that combined
shipping would bring down the cost pe...
Hi everyone, I "sold" an item at auction about a week ago. The buyer did
not pay after 4-5 days, so I opened an unpaid item case so I can get my
fees back. I opened four cases at the same time, actually. One person
promptly paid. Today when i sign on...
Usually I am going to garage sales etc. to find items to sell, but
recently I found a source with new products, and quite a few available.
I've tried selling some of these and have sold a few, but I can see that
for some of them I may have the invent...
I've been lowballed a lot lately by people making best offers. I tend to
ignore them if they are too low if I'm too busy to send a counteroffer.
One lady yesterday offer $7 on a $15 item and I countered at $12, which
is lower than usual (I usually do...
I have a little coding system of my own for ebay. I end all my regular
prices in .99, but when I send offers or respond to offers, I always end
with 0. That way, if people buy something, I'll know if it was through
the offer system.
The best point made so far, I think, is that selling OOAK items may be a
poor business choice. I learned on ebay a long time ago that it works
much better for me if I am selling items that are variations on a theme
(most of mine are craft items). Eas...
Well, I may be in a minority, but I've gotten plenty of messages that
I'm about to buy (and some actually do!). Mostly this is in relation to
combined shipping -- if they buy 4 widgets will I give them combined
shipping etc. I explain my policy, they...
Almost ALL of my items have BO on them (the only ones that don't are
generally those that are in variation listings). So...if they're really
interested, they can make an offer for a lower price any time! I do put
my items on sale a lot of times as we...
