    A straight BIN is not covered on today's special listing pricing. To take advantage of the deal you will need to list as an auction or an auction with a BIN.

  • Why pay at all - it's free to list on Ebid AND you can set any reserve you like unlike on eBay where the minimum is £50! Why not list on both sites and see what happens? Give eBid a chance you've got literally NOTHING to lose!
    Numpties...I'm surrounded by them...save me...:whistle:

    Remember - If you list on either of these two days for a ten day auction, when you post the item it will be on or after Mon 21st which is the day that Royal Mail introduce pricing in proportion.

    Remember to charge postage accordingly.

    Hope this Helps !

    Arghhhhhh nooooo I was hoping I would miss it :(
    Guess I'll be doing 7 day auctions as I have a ton of bulky boxes!
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    Gosh, where are all the buyers?

    Last time we had an offer day I went for BIN with immediate payment required and was selling things as soon as they were listed. This time I've gone for auctions with BIN's, some at the start price of the auction, and have sold just four items so far. I haven't even got many watchers.

    I have bought some items though so all is not too bad, I've definitely found some bargains already.

    You're doing better than me, Soo. I listed 12 items today (well, yesterday really) and they still don't have so much as a watcher between them.

    I did list rather a lot as I've built up a little too much stock and need to get my cash flow working again.

    A lot of my items were listed using 2nd class postage so take into account the new postage rate (in case they don't sell until Sunday night in 10 days time) but as I feared my buyers are ignoring that, and I had a buyer overnight who is going on holiday on Saturday and 'really hopes' her item will arrive before then :eek: I'll upgrade it to 1st for her but I'm not sure even that will get it there in time.
