BIN v auction advice please

ootie

Hi all, hope someone can give a bit of advice please.

Been selling on ebay for many a year now, as a business seller, but have done probably 98% auction, with the occasional line as BIN.

I am wondering though whether to start selling more of my things as BIN. I sell mostly second hand clothing.

Has anyone any experience of this on BIN or would you think it better for me to stay using auctions?

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any advice given.

BIN can be expensive as it is 40p for 30 days compared to 15p on an auction for 10 days. For private sellers jus selling off odds and ends aucitons are probably better .

I put some of my stuff on BIN for 30 days. As on my auctions I get loads of watchers & often no bidders. One item I've now sent to auction again as I had 15 people watching with still 2 weeks to go. I had put Best offer on & had stupid offers, people obviously knew that they were daft as they were messaging me with them.
This item is virtually the same as another a few miles away from me that sold at auction for over £200 while mine was on BIN at £75.
If it doesnt sell at auction this time I will keep it for a while & try again.
All my other BIN's have several watchers with still a week or so to go.
I don't think that I'll try this format again.
