bidders out tonight

I'm busy uploading things to my business account and as fast as I am uplloading someone is bidding. It's rather spooky especially as these items are speculative and having laid out some money on them i was rather upset to see others have gone unsold in the past few days.

I rather feel that I should be going mad and listing lots more things, in case this is a fluke!

    maybe i shall send you a link to the seller i tried to deal with and you can explain eBay
    selling a text book
    99p opening bid and about £7 postage
    emailed them to enquire about the delivery time as it was 5-7 working days
    they said it was a mistake and it was a 2-3 day delivery but that the item i messaged about was sold :mad:

    so low and behold they relist it
    with the same price and dispatch/delivery time?
    now they have ended the listing with 1 day to go................

    I will never understand ebay, nor the people who use it. I watch items and some go with lots of bids while the same item goes unsold 5 minutes later.

    Still, I am happy to get bidders so eager to buy my things, fingers crossed it stays like that for a while.

    I have 8 watchers on a classified ad. Is that usual as if it sells they wouldn't know for how much anyway!
