    I am about to list a paif of Jimmy Choo shoes tomorrow - please tell me if this is a bad idea because I have been hanging onto these puppies for quite a while! I dont want to post them if they are gonna get lost in all the tat!
    I think such a popular brand will probably still do OK, because people will search for names like Jimmy Choo.
    I recently sold a Texier briefcase which I listed on a cheap listing day, and it made a good price.

    Jut start the auction at the minimum amount you are willing to take.

    If they don't sell you can then relist from the original auction a couple of weeks later, and if they sell on that relist you will get the second lot of listing fees back.

    I often list things on a 5p day but at a high price just so I can relist later on a quieter day when my item is likely to sell, but knowing I'll get the second listing fees back when it sells.

  • Listed a whole pile of rare CD promos

    The trouble is finding the collector of the artists that are on them given the ebay title bar is so short

    Good thinking (so long as you remember not to add any gallery pics or other "extras" till the relist, since only the basic listing fee is refunded when a relisted item sells).

    No just basic listing fees.

    Listing fees (Incl. VAT)
    Insertion fee: Free
    Gallery: Free
    Total added listing fees: * Free

    I hope they sort this out before this evening when my main turbolister uploads, I have 80 items ready to go and will be cross if I can't list them.

    I am listing BINs at the moment and am still having problems regardless of whether i list direct on ebay or try to use turbolister. They are getting listed, it is just taking a long while.
