Ebaying CD Singles list..

Options
Ok so after trying a few places to list my CD singles, inc MusicMagpie (who only take albums) I've decided to try and list them individually on eBay..

Does anyone have any experience of this?

I believe that if I list them all at 99p start there are no listing charges?

Its a long daunting task, but I maybe able to leave them on eBay for 30 days or something as an auction?

Still to try cashbee.co.uk to see if they take CD singles....

    The longest you can put an auction up for is 10 days. Unless they are rare there really isn't much of a market for them so it may not be worth the effort. You may be better off putting them on Amazon as they will stay listed indefinitely.

    This is exactly what I'd prefer to do. Musicmagpie or an equivalent would be perfect with the barcode scanner app...

    A couple of years ago, I similarly decided to sell a collection of CD singles and was amazed that some rare ones fetched silly prices (over £80 in one case). Though it might be a time consuming process, personally, I'd have a look to see if any are especially valuable from recent eBay sales and set a decent starting price.

    The rest can just be listed for 99p at the same time. Sometimes, if a buyer wins one auction, for something they really want, they'll sometimes also bid for a few 99p ones at the same time.
