  • yes, as above, make sure you fill your titles with keywords (without obviously keyword spamming eBay dont like that too much lol....) try something like

    Epson compatible ink cartridge x3 C64 C66 C84 CX3600..

    that should fit and definately add pics :o

    A couple of pointers. Make sure you add a picture. It is free to do so. Secondly why not sell them as a set of colours. Add details. These can be found on the boxes they are packed in. This will make your listing more interesting and have more content.
  • hi again,

    I have tried to take all the advice into account and have relisted them. Here they are.

    If there is anything else I can do to make them sell I would love to know what it is .... ;)

    Many thanks

    Your link is broken- it links to the my ebay page. I tried to find them, but no items found- have you listed them on a different account? :confused:
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    You don't actually state what size paper this will shred

    Why did you list at £1 if you had listed at 99p it would have been free insertion fee. Also with free P&P on this item there is a chance it could sell for that so with postage insertion fee and final value fee you would lose money.

    I must admit with all your items I would have put them on 30 day Buy it now listings as they are not the sort of things that people queue up to bid on at auction. I have sold a lot of ink cartridges as buy it nows and they go pretty well.

    Have you had a look at completed listings to see what other people are selling similar items for ?

    Also I never send such low value items recorded delivery. If you get proof of posting you can claim via royal mail for loses up to £39. So if the item didnt arrive and you refunded the buyer you can still get your money back. By not doing recorded you save 75p on your postage costs which makes you more competitive.

    Also in free P&P listings I send second class but give the option for the buyer to upgrade to 1st if they wish. Sending second hasn't affected my DSRs at all.

    I know everyone does things differently buy these are the sort of things we have found to work quite well with our listings

    Hi
    Hope you don't mind me making a suggestion, def agree that with the ink cartridges, listing them as a set of colours better idea.

    Shredder-
    On the listing you say your selling due to haveing bigger one, as a buyer that would put me off, as I'd be thinking if they need a bigger one so will I.

    Maybe change it to something like

    "Smaller size shredder - shreds paper upto (xx X xx, even better if you can say A4 size paper).

    Ideal shredder, great to use, easy to store"

    Ink - I know you have ticked new box, but if there any chance of getting new on the title line, as a lot of people me included will look for new in the title line, also add NEW in with the description.

    Good luck with the sales xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Your spelling is still wrong - cartridge, not carteridge. And what is an 8Gz memory card?

    Sorry but I do have to echo what some of the others have said, your stuff is too expensive and you are selling items that have a lot of competition. Your shreddder as an example, £7 (buyers have to take into account the postage as well) yet my Maplin have brand new mini shredders for £9.98 and often have vouchers available for money off as well.

    Many HK sellers are doing brand new card readers for £1 so yours is unlikely to stand out. Also as has been said you will not be breaking even with that item especially as you have chosen to pay to list it rather than drop by a 1p and get free listings. Say that sells at £1 , you paid 10p to list it, 10p FVFs postage 61p and paypal approx 27p which means you lose 8p on it. Not everything will sell, a lot of the time you need to accept that something is not worth listing.

    Lastly, anyone looking for ink cartridges won't even see yours due to the spelling.
