Hi thanks for this thread

I thought it was just me who struggled to get their ebay act together. I did do loads of furniture a couple of weeks ago when sorting out my late Grandma's home. That was all for collection, I have a real mental block with weighing and looking up postal prices.

I've got lots of kids books to list, many from the Arthur kids tv show in excellent condition. I've never tried Amazon, would that be a better place that ebay? When I've looked to buy on their the postage always looks so high.

I'm aiming to list 3 things tomorrow and 3 more on Saturday.

Let us know how you get on with ebid and selling your items. I'm trying to look at alternatives when eBay kicks us smaller sellers out!

Good luck.

Welcome Dustykitten, no I'm terrible at sorting out my posting costs so I have lots of listings almost ready to go and I haven't worked out the postage!

In terms of books, check Amazon for prices. When you input what you want to sell for the system will tell you what you will get if it sells. You just have to take your actual postage off to get your profit.
For those buying, yes it can look expensive for postage but say you are buying a book for 1p and then £2.75 postage - the total price may not be expensive.

Good luck with your listings.

I've sold a tshirt... not for much, but more than I paid so that's all good.

Also have a bag on BIN for £20. Someone has offered me £14, I don't know whether to accept or not. It's a bag I got for free (though it's leather)... it has been in my wardrobe for over a year so I don't know what to do. Doubt I'll get a better offer as I've listed and relisted it for ages. Arghh.

edit: hmm postage is going to be £4.41 so I really dunno what to do. My conscience is saying get rid....

Phewwwww,

just finished listing 83 cd's on amazon - the children are getting restless now!!

I will spend the evening sorting out and labeling 50 items for an NCT nearly new sale tomorrow morning - They take 20% of the sale cost, but its annonymous ?sp, as I label my items and dont have to stay or man a table.:T. I try to do 3 seperate ones as different categoies sell better at each. I have mountains of childrens stuff - I fell into a trap with ds1 who has cp that I bought every toy that would help his development, even if I had one not so good already! I dont do that any more as he just does it at his own pace anyway!!

I found my camera/computer cable yesterday evening so Ill start the ebay listing after I have done the NCT stuff!!

The weather is very very yucky here - not going out today!!:www:

I am very excited as I have cleared a big box! I received a P.O. today and the last big package is on its way to the buyer. So I'm left with a cardboard box now ready to fill it up with some more listed stuff.

Only 32 items on at the moment. Going to put on some more magazines as they are quick and easy to list!

Catch up later.

What a flurrie of activity:rotfl:

well done guys, keep going.:T

I think ebid might be worth a look once ebay rules kick in.

I have a couple of old basketballs that i want to list, but they are inflated, there is no way for me to deflat them,
do you think it will be ok to post inflated basketballs?....i guess it should be if i have a box big enough?...
or will bubblewrap & brown paper do?...

what do you guys think?

Floxxie

Mmm, I don't know Lexxx. Have you got any lightweight boxes that would hold a ball?

Can't see why they wouldn't be ok with bubblewrap and brown paper. Can they be blown up if they do deflate?

Basketballs are definitely not in my piles of things to sell...being vertically challenged. :rotfl:
