eBay/ebid 10 a day challenge - any joiners?

If you have bids already you cannot add a Buy It Now price but if not you can find the Buy It Now box next to the box where you put your start price

What do you guys actually find to list, i have no junk to list unfortunatly. I keep looking to fing things but i find i just end up finding nothing

I went through a phase of listing old magazines for a decent enough return. I've never sold clothes on eBay, but anything designer should have a good chance of selling.

Some of the tat (OK, not always tat ) people buy at charity shops, car boot and jumble sales for peanuts can be worth a small fortune on eBay (even things like keyrings and badges). So may be worth having a rummage at these places. It's a case of either knowing what to look for or just pure luck.

Good luck :cool:

You could make some listings in Turbo Lister fairy, that way as soon as you come back you can click on the upload button and they are ready to go. I find that if I don't do it when I am in the mood it will never get sone

Have a lovely time in Italy

At the moment I do all my listings manually. I tried using Turbolister once and for some reason I couldn't get it to work Is it worth me trying again? Does it really save much time?

Glad it's busy mrscmr :beer: Lets hope all those watchers take action!

I've listed another 26 items bringing my active selling total to 67. A few have bids (enough to cover a couple of pints:p) and there are a load of watchers.

I think I'm starting to get a buzz out of this challenge:D

I couldn't get my head around Turbolister either. Maybe its because I only list a few items a week (max has been 20) that I don't find it any quicker

I've got a eBay template created in msword which I use for every listing and just add the description of the item, then I copy and paste into eBay.

Is Turbolister really that much quicker? I'm more than happy to be converted!

Also is it just me or does anyone else find eBay instructions difficult to follow? Whenever I try to follow their instructions on how to do something I find the page they refer to has changed slightly ie tabs or wording are different

Now I know I can be a bit thick, If I print the postage off the computer, I take it I can pay out of the paypal account but do I still need to take them to the Post Office or can I put them in the post box. Im talking about DVD's not the bigger stuff. Just our PO is so slow and ehy only ever have one behind the counter even when the queue is outside the door:mad:

If you want proof of posting then yes you need to go to the PO and get your certificates or such like stamped by the PO. They may also want to check your weights and dimensions, my PO does but others don't bother.

If you are happy to stand any loss yourself if an item gets lost then you don't need to bother with the PO and can bung them straight into the box.

For recorded or special they must go to the PO so they cna be entered into the system and a tracking number confirmed.

I'm a newbie (been a lurker for a while) and after reading all the posts, decided to have a clear out of all my "junk". Managed to list 6 items last night, wanted to do 10 but was having problems with my internet connection, will post another 6 tonight. This can be addictive!

I’m glad it isn’t just me that has had difficulties with it! It was ages ago that I tried it and I couldn’t actually seem to get the auctions to start for some reason. I spent ages trying to work it out which was time I could’ve spent just doing auctions the normal way. I could be swayed into trying it again if I knew it was going to work this time.

I am the same I have a template which I use for all auctions that has my terms on it and then I just add a separate paragraph describing each item to it. It can be quite time consuming but I find it makes my auctions more personalised doing it that way.

I might take a look at Turbolister again and see if it has improved since I last tried to use it – anything which makes it easier for me to get more stuff listed is good by me
