Advice on selling at 99pence please

mrs_lds

I have a large 60 piece collection of collectable china which I have listed super cheap at 99 pence a piece seperatley. If they do not sell will I incur any charges via ebay if I only use one picture for each item .

It will just be the listing fees I think.

If you have 60 items all at 99p start price and you are a private seller then you'll have no charges until any one piece sells. However, you need to accept that someone may buy one piece at 99p and leave you a part 59 piece tea set left.

If your going to list at 99p be sure that you will be happy if thats the price it actually sells for.

99p listings are free for private sellers including one picture . Before you actually submit the listing it will tell you how much it will cost. Remember though even with Free listing you inccur 10% final value fees plus 3.5%+20p paypal fees.

This weekend though is Free listing for private sellers at any start price

If they pay local cash on collection I presume I will not incure any fees is that correct?

No paypal fees, but you still have the ebay ones.

If someone asks to buy the lot cash on collection and I end the auction early will I incur any payments to ebay?I resent the charges

No you will not, but that is 60 auctions you will have to cancel plus removing bids if any

Then why use ebay? If you don't like them then surely the best thing to do would be to just offer the whole lot as one set in the local paper for cash on collection.

Also of course remember that you can't insist on cash on collection on ebay, so if one person buys a single item from you then you will have to take paypal and wrap and send the item.

Also you mention selling the whole set, but as per earlier questions you are sure you are happy to sell one or two odd bits only aren't you?

You are paying Ebay for supplying you with potential customers, it is a service. There are other ways of selling that are less dishonest and underhand.

I think I will sell the whole lot together instead. thanks for the advice
