  • What do I do? I have lots of BIN items on my Business account, they have between 1 and 10 watchers, they have about 14/15 days left to run on the BIN so should I just leave them, should I transfer some over to Auction or should I add Best Offer option (even though I keep getting silly offers), just want to sell some stuff as I have to pay for my car tax by the end of the month and don't want all this stuff sitting in my cupboards.

    I would add best offers - you can always do a counteroffer if you get cheeky offers.
    November 2018 make £10/day - £21/£300

  • Thanks Mavvysmum, I have been getting silly offers, normally less than half what I have the items up for, but I could always automatically decline any under a certain price.

    Another question please, if you wanted to buy something that had a Best Offer how much off would you say was acceptable ie. £2, £3? I put a Best Offer in one something a while ago which was £1.50 less than the asking price which I thought was a good offer and they came back with a Counter offer of 50p less than their BIN price, now I find that silly, why not just put it up for that price.

    Got to go and sort kids out now they are fighting all the time, does anyone else have this problem and find it soooooo annoying.

  • Same here mrscmr - I went over to my boxes, looked in them, shut the lid and though 'I just can't be bothered'.

    I'm fed up of my items sitting there and not getting many offers (or no decent ones anyway), I just need the money 'now' so am tempted to switch some to auction, but the ones I want to switch have 5 or more watchers, but then I think that if anyone was really interested in them they would have bought them or made an offer.

    Roll on February school holidays as I'm going to my parents with the kids for just under a week so can have a nice rest and be looked after, will be nice to have a break from Ebay as I'm on the computer until 12/1am every night and even though I love Ebay I think everyone needs a break now and then, plus it's my birthday then too.

    alyssa.. sometimes people dont leave feedback. i always mail people when i send out item to say i have left feedback to try to encourage them to do the same.

    people are odd!

    i would email the other person though about the item being at sorting office.

    TMD - we are in the same boat! i have 8 watchers on some of my bin's !!!!!! what is the point in that? buy or F off! thats what i say! i am tempted to send to auction too.... but seems no point. i have to list on my personal account today maybe when i see more action it will encourage me to do more. im listing mills & boons books from my mother - they always go down well!
