**Make Me Rich This Year eBay or Else!!**

plzhelpmesave!

Guys, I joined you briefly with the intention of selling - but never kinda got round to it. So i'm gonna joinin now if I may!

Am determined to spend the weekend clearing, decluttering, getting rid of and selling anything I can.

Will wash and iron clothes before taking pictures and hang on the box room off the clothes rail -
Will stick everything on - whatever id big & bulky, and still here after the first listing, gets taken to charity or second hand shop (have been getting rid of some stuff on Freecycle rather than ccharity shop, but I need to be making money!)
Will put up small notices advertising bits & pieces in the paper shop & tesco - after all, I really them so surely other people do??

Anything that is left in the house, goes to a big car boot sale at the end of August, where I get to take my son, who is desparate to go car booting! If we need to do another one, mid-september there is a big annual one about 5 mins away from me.

Thanks guys for relighting my fire.....x

First two items sold last night. £27! Plus they went to same buyer, so I got a little £2 bonus from combining postage costs.

This may have been posted before in the thread, but just a remind of the following excellent site for calculating RM postage costs based on weight:

MUCH easier to use than RMs own web site IMO.

The buyer saved going out to search for something they couldn't find.

They also saved about £40 in buying my (well kept) stuff instead of getting it new.

They are almost certainly in the process of making further profit since they seem to have a knick-knacks shop of their own.

Since I notified them that the second item was on sale, they also saved missing the matching pair.

Which delighted them since the feedback was so positive.

There's nothing to say I can't wrap and send items together if the same person buys them.

Incidentally, another £6 on Amazon.

well thats your view but you are wrong
if a buyer pays for 2 separate auctions and you charge as 2 separate items
then they should be dispatched as two separate items
if your buyer issued a chargeback on both items through their card issuer
how would you defend that with one proof of posting?
even more so with tracked deliveries
if the buyer files an item not received dispute. how do you defend that with only one tracking number?
