:)hi, im used to selling on gumtree and thus have never dealt with working out p&p, listing fees etc
but after unsuccesfully trying to sell some swatch watches and shoes im leaning towards selling on ebay as obviously it attracts a lot more traffic than my local gumtree
(so basically i gather that i wouldntr be able to offer these as a job lot, but what sort of p&p charges would it cost to send a shoebox, and what are any other mse users experiences and tips of selling shoes on ebay


thankyou

    yes, I would sell them as individual pairs - and from experience, charge about £4 postage.

    Oh.. and be prepared for some people requesting photos of you wearing them!! :rotfl:

    Don't see why you can't sell as a job lot if you really want to (although as has been said you should get a better price individually). There is after all a whole category just for 'Wholesale and Job Lots'.

    All you need to do is weight the items all together, along with all packing materials you intend to use then from that you can determine whether it's best to use Royal Mail or a courier firm to send them to the buyer and put that cost in the postal charges area of the sales form.
