none of my ebay items sold ........ i dont know why

Also have you actually sat and worked out your costs and postage?

You are offfering 1st class recorded on your cartridges, do you know what that will cost you? Assuming they are over 100g and packet rather than large letter 1st class recorded will be £2.37. So from your £3 you have paid 10p to list, 30p FVFs (if they sell at opening bid) approx 38 p to paypal and £2.37 postage, so a loss of 15p.

You really need to work all this out before you list and decide a minimum amount you cna list at, if that is not competitive then charity shop.

I was offered a business line a few weeks back, buying at £2 selling at £4.99, with costs, postage, fees and the fact that the price would be forced down due to competition there was no way I could turn a profit on the item so although the headline figure was a £3 profit the reality was merely breaking even.

No good for me as they are not gluten free, and I''d be so tempted to eat some!

It probably comes down to the mis-spelling of cartridges so no one would have found them in the search!

Certainly seems to be the case, the spelling is truly shocking

Another comment - I would want to know what BRAND the compatible cartridges were - I used to use compatibles & some were truly shocking!
Things listed are pretty expensive for lack of pics/poor descriptions/spellings - the shredder is fine but the postage is so high people will just go & buy one on the high street for same price & no risk ...
