    Yes but a quick check will show what all the previos ones have sold for. if you move prices you have be able to atke initial resistance.

    Indeed, but how many buyers actually do this ?

    If it takes you 3 days to produce 4 items then you are selling far to cheaply. I would double your price and that's still cheap. If it is a unique item it will sell.

    What postage do you charge can you adjust this? Maybe offer free postage and put the item price up more than the postage.

    Since ebay charge fees on the price of the item and not the p+p it would make more sense to do it the other way round, surely?
    They don't need the best match placement if they are selling all they have already. ;)
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    I do lol. But if you feel they don't check prices as a rule then it should make it even easier to raise prices.

    I was really saying look at the postage and go either way the obvious being put it up, but there is an option to offer "free postage" as you say there is the fees issue with this.
