  • I've relisted all my unsold items - 30 odd for 3 days.
    Then whatever doesn't sell I will relist again for 10days before the end of the free listing week.
    One bid so far! Lets hope there are a few more :j
  • I decided to list all my unsold items for 1 day and do the same every day. After first day I sold one item so hopefully I will manage to sell some more.

    On the last day of free listing anything still unsold I will list for 7 days.

    Am also trying to list at least 5 new items each day as well as the relists.
    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you

    well how did everyone get on?

    i have 50 active listings on ebay (all 10 day listings), plus i have listed several items on those local facebook buy & sell pages - managed to sell my mums old fire surround for £50 - well its pending delivery in 2 weeks so fingers crossed :cool:

    I tired the shorter listing period, and managed to sell 4 items so very happy with that :beer: Thanks to whoever suggested it in the first place :-)

    I have one bid of £15 on one item, and a few watchers starting to appear on other items.

    I for one thought the sales were pretty rubbish on the high street so hopefully buyers will flock to ebay :D

    Oh and Happy New Year everyone :j:beer::T:rotfl::p

    How's everyone doing?

    I have 15 items listed for 10 days, they end in the middle of next week.

    I have another 50 items to list - I might actually bite the bullet and pay to list. Nearly all the items are children's clothes in excellent condition - many of them US designer - which were given to me by other people, so any money earned is a profit.

    I might package them up in bundles, which I've not really done before.

    I might also try using Collect plus - the local drop off point (a Spar shop) is open til 9pm which means not needing to plan auction end dates around my working hours.

    We'll see :)

    Happy ebaying everyone :)

    Well done on your sales CC and good luck with your future plans may be a baby or New york...:T:T:T

    Sorry to be thick but,wonder how to sell items on FB please???
    and how much safe it is please??

    TIA:)
  • On Facebook, there are buy & sell pages set up for my local area. Not sure who set them up but I basically uploaded a photo of my dyson with a caption to include some info & the price.

    The people then sent me a private message & arranged to collect the items.

    Works just like gumtree I suppose!
