    I've been selling 99p things (available in stores) at the lovely price of £5.99 minimum and ebayers can't get enough of them!

    Another success so far, is a simcard I bought three days ago, for just 33p.
    Currently being bid up to £38!! with 6 days to go!

    I love Ebay!!!!:j

    How do you manage it?

    I have a variety of things on ebay, but none seem to be selling - computer games, etc, my p+p is as low as I can get it, and I have low starting prices.

    Maybe I should stick to buying :D

    I time my auctions carefully, make my item descriptions appealing, price competitively and keep my fingers crossed! ;)

    It's sometimes a bit of "hit and miss", but usually I manage to do ok.

    I find searching the "Want It Now" area on ebay quite useful.

    just read the feedback. She is not a happy bunny. She obviously didn't read what was actually for sale and is saying that it was a con.

    He now has bad feedback because she can't read.

    I blame her not the seller.

    As we posted in this thread, the winning bidder was an experienced ebayer who deliberately bid (with a different account) in order to prevent someone else from being scammed. The seller now has bad feedback because he was quite obviously trying to con people. I think it worked out quite well really...
