Still trying to gather up the courage to list my first items on ebay.

I have a few O2 and vodaphone sim cards laying about. Do you think it would be better to list these individually or as a set. There is probably about 5 or 6 all together?

Many thanks in advance.

if they dnt sell individually, you lost 15p times 5
i wouldn't sell them at all, wait a week, if you apply for all offers you should have some on the way
Wait till u have a large, worthwhile bulk

Thanks Laura,

I might put them aside, keep applying for free ones and as you say, wait until there is a fair amount.

Just trying to find easy things to start selling with.

Thta's what I do. But be warned they sell for next to nothing.
I sold 25 for around £7 the last time!!

I don't mind if they go for around that because I didn't pay anything for them in the first place.

I will have to try and up my stock of them though.

sims are not selling well at the moment

There's so many free offers on sims the market has gone totally flat........... :-(

The only success I've had with them was the Virgin free sims with £5 credit.

Managed to get around 30 of them altogether.......but even they go for next to nothing.......

As the Op said though....may as well build up a free stock of them and get a few quid...always a good and easy introduction to selling on eBay......but I'd list them as a job lot, not individually.

Hope it goes well....and enjoy eBay!

everyone i saying sims aren't selling, i have no problems at all, i sold three last week for £10+ each, two were free and one was cheap for me to get

They had alright numbers but not worth that by any stretch of the imagination

You have to how to list, what days, how many etc, then your sorted!!

Laura,

Any chance of giving me some tips on how to list them, as I am a complete novice at selling (only a buyer)

Thanks

Also when listing them, watch your postage costs. If you are selling a large number, they are actually quite heavy. I've got in the region of 120 but I'm dreading to find out the cost of postage!
