I have 3 items that sold yesterday that are all going to be cash on collection so will add them on then. Can I ask a question? a couple of people have asked me recently if I had a buy it now price for some of the items that were advertised on an auction? How can you change it to a BIN after you have started & can you only do this on items that haven't received any bids? Thanks

You can revise your listing if there aren't any bids and add a BIN price (I think!) I don't think you can do it if there are bids though.

Or you could cancel the bids, end the auction and then relist as BIN?

I have just been to the post office and it was surprisingly quiet for a Monday. Only sold 5 items last night - totalling £54 though, so not bad

10 items finishing tonight, 7 will sell, bids stand at £28.19

*KT*

I've had a couple of sales in the last week. But... I think I'm actually making a loss just now. I did myself on postage a bit on two of the items. oops. But that's still stuff gone and that was the aim I suppose.

I felt like that earlier when someone bid on my £30 item that I've listed on three free listing weekends in a row.

I'm up to £146 this month. My total this year so far is £525 which is an achievement for me.

My problem is that I find myself straying onto other peoples listings, and now I have about 1000 items in my watch list and am trying my best to resist the urge to buy - got to remind myself that most of the shizzle that I'm selling is stuff that I bought on ebay & it ended up not fitting!!!

Am I the only one with this problem?

I do :rotfl:

I ended up buying loads of things last week and now I will have to list some of them too

Profit this wave has been £13.21, I lost £2.57 in wrong p&p and fees plus £3.28 in packaging stuff but I have not used it all so this will be used for other items. According to my spreadsheet my total profit so far has been £33.30 and I lost £11 in fees and miscalculations. I am using now a scale and the calculator online, not sure how I have lost over £2 this time.


SELLING EXPERIENCE AND ADVICE:
I have a buyer who won a 99p item at the beginning of March, I sent the item with all the others by mistake and the buyer never paid. Open a dispute for unpaid item and he is cheeky enough to reply the dispute with a message and say "he has paid because he has the item". I mean.. what? that was my mistake, not a proof of paying! Anyway, guy does not reply to my messages, ignores me completely and then leaves me neutral feedback saying that "it's to [sic] small". What?? :mad: I am going to close the case now, as I told him by message. Can he do anything else? I am upset that has been my only neutral/negative feedback and from someone that has not even paid!!! Can I remove his feedback?

Martafdz - how incredible that they would leave you a neutral when they never even paid!!:mad::mad::mad: Hope someone here can help you with removing that feedback though I would think that you could open a case against him as he never paid (and who'd be the wiser that you actually sent it - your word against his).

AFM I managed to make a profit of £53.08 with things that hadn't sold last month - so no effort other than relisting during the free weekend. Chuffed about that! It brings my year total to £478 which is fantastic!:T Almost halfway to my £1000 goal.

Now if only I could stop buying as well like MArta and CompletelyLost :rotfl:

Good luck to everyone on your March totals!!!

I opened a case against him for unpaid item and the funny thing is that he sent a message in response saying "I have paid because I have the item at home", which is proof he has received it, plus he left feedback saying it was too small, so second proof he has it. All the messages have been sent through eBay so they can check that as well. And I only accept Paypal, so it appears clearly that he has not paid, otherwise it would appear in the transaction. I am going to close the case today, so it will appear an unpaid item mark on his account. Silly silly, honestly, because it was only 99p plus p&p, which I also misjudged and were much more expensive since it was a heavy jumper. I gave him a month to pay, sent him a message every week and gave him plenty of time to reply. All he did was leaving neutral feedback with a negative comment. I hope I can appeal to eBay and get the feedback removed considering he never paid.

On the other hand, I also had my share of bad experience as a a buyer this month. I bought a pretty shirt for 99p plus £2.50 post. That was the 15th. On the 20th (yep, 5 days later) I get a refund. I contact the seller, who says "Oh, when I went to pack it I noticed it had a hole under the armpit, so I refunded you". The pic is big and can be zoomed on, no hole there. So I ask her within minutes to send a pic of the hole because I might be able to fix it. Then she replies and says "Just after I contacted you I binned it, so you probably do not want it now", then she send me a request to cancel the transaction, no chance to get the shirt, pic or anything. I bet she wanted to have more for the item or a friend arrived and said "oh, I'll take it for you", whatever. No way she noticed a hole suddenly 5 days after it was paid and then she just threw it. I left neutral feedback with an explanation because I felt that she could just get used to do this too often when she does not get the price she wants. So cheeky!!! This is my second neutral/neg feedback given and I feel bad but I cannot believe she actually have done this! :mad:

Still... I wish that these bad experiences would put me off buying on eBay but no luck :rotfl:
