Does anyone have any tips for photographing black items for sale, in my exp they just look like nothing when you try to take a pic, I have a really nice Karen Millen top but avoided putting it on ebay as it just looks relaly plain, the photos dont do it justice at all! Agree with party wear cos most people leave it til last min for christenings, special birthdays etc then find is out of stock so go onto ebay to look...same for dressing up stuff, and when you are desparate you will inevitably panic and pay more than you may have wanted too!

Hello everyone

hope you're all great, is anyone carbooting at all yet ?

thanks eyesparky, I am learning slowly, but so used to ebay and amazon is all different, only made £1 or £2 on my sold item but all goes in pot as too much stuff taking up space in my little house. Lots of books I put on don't have a stock photo and as I think it could help sell I am putting them on hence having spent hours on amazon today. I have a big pile of 1970's and 80's Ladybird books nothing really rare but some in realy good condition as only one owner, my cousin who was an only child so not much wear on them....is there somewhere better to sell them, they have to be worth a few pound each and I think I have about 100 in total!

Not sure about the ladybird books ... no experience there I am afraid. Research! Research! Research! ... only advice I have to give I am afraid. Good luck with it.

... now I am really off to do some work before I get told off

No, but there is money to be made recovering the vehicles of the poor souls who tried :rotfl:.

Hello everyone,

Not had chance to catch up yet, but just thought I'd let you know how I'm getting on...

Just had a few more sales on ebay totalling £28.26 taking my total just over the £650 mark! :T

One of the items I sold was a jumper dress that I had worn a few times, yet it sold for more than I paid! Not complaining though!

Hope you're all still feeling motivated! :j Keep up the good work everyone!

Off to try and catch up now!

Jen

I'm just not grasping it - tried to withdraw some of my winnings but it wouldn't let me without losing the £5 unqualified bonus so I messaged them to clarify. They came back and said I could withdraw now, which I did, but the £5 bonus had gone to zero. Is this just for today or permanent? Sorry, I must be really thick cos no matter how many times I read the info it isn't sinking in :eek:

Please don't stop the chat, I may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier but I'm getting some brilliant (pun intended ) ideas from the posts. Thank you :T

i just spedn £5 all at once on bingo and when i won the first time it was £5 on on line then i chucked all that on again and won the full house, the i was able to withdraw straight away, the next day i had my £5 bonus and did the same and won £20 again etc and still had the £5 next day

i wouldnt know if you'd get your £5 bonus back everyday sorry.

Yer keep the chat going !

Talking of research... I've tried researching whether my collection of porcelain dolls that have been stuck in a cupboard since i was about 12 are worth anything, according to google search results the ones from the co-op don't even exist, there doesn't seem to be anything about them, so i'm guessing they're carp really, can't really find a decent avenue to get shot of them or mostly Ashton Drake ones. I think they're pretty mediocre but thought i could get a bit for them. Any ideas?

While i definately get on with weighing things..

Ok so i refunded seller and i got a message back saying: hi,i dont want you think i am cheap,but rules is rules if you charge extra for pack and way you should list as sellers standart rate.i am happy with perfume and now with p&p too.Thank you

think i might block her?! what does she mean if you charge extra for packaging you should list as sellers standard rate??? P&P Is postage and packaging, jesus!!

Sorry haven't read the remainder of this thread but I wouldn't have refunded her. I would have reported her to eBay as she is blackmailing you in return for postive feedback. Report her now.

And have no idea what she is talking about on sellers standard rate.
