    I thought you couldn't sell on Ebay unless you had 5 or more feedback? Is this true? I sold something to someone who has 2 feedback and have asked me to leave them feedback (haven't even wrapped item up yet) as they want feedback to encourage people to buy their items. Am confused.

    Lost my Top Rated Seller status today on my Business account, I've been watching today for it to change, I did a search for something specific that I am selling to see where I can in a Best Match search and I was 5 items down on the first page, now I've lost my TRS status the same listing is now half way down page 3. So annoyed, won't be selling as much this month now.

    On a good note, got 2 bids on 2 of the new items I listed yesterday.

    SO glad it''s been a free-listing weekend. I've been getting in such a muddle with all my listings. It's my fault, I've not been reading all the information regarding fees properly.
    I've been trying to sell my movie magazines (Film Reviews & Empire) and I've only been selling one a week since December. I've been listing about 80 per week and was horrified when I got my the invoice for my Ebay fees. It was almost £40. More than the sales :eek: So I've been looking at ways to reduce the fees. The magazines were originally £1.99 for Film Review plus postage and £2.99 for Empire for postage. I also put the postage of overseas and discounts in my listings. I have now reduced all the magazines to 99p, made the postage £2.75 for one magazine and added the extra £1 and £2 to the postage for overseas and mutliple postings. I'll probablay get low star rating for postage, but that's the risk I have to take.
    It's made such a difference. I've sold 8 mags this week :j and I'll have more money in my account than I was getting before. Why didn't I think of it before?! Only bad thing is that I'll have to stick to 100 listings a month - and keep a look out for free listings day - like this weekend. But at least I'm not losing money now.

    Agree with tmd; you are a real inspiration of what can be done when it's needed. Will really miss you on our thread. Hope you pop back and let us know how you are doing.
