yep sured... my auctions are finishing in an hour (forgot i listed) and many have 9+ watchers... in them there olden days of ebay (when i first started) many people bid as the auction were running now though many wait till the end to snipe (win at the last second) thats why although its good to watch your acutions throughout the week the last hour is the best and when it all happens (in my opinion) in that last hour the refresh button will be your friend :rotfl:

Dont really trust the watchers - just because you have 8 people watching doesnt mean 8 Buyers - it could 8 people wit the same item wanting to know how much yours fetches. Having said that it does mean there is interest. I wouldnt really worry about price at the moment - most of my previous auctions tend to go up on last day and last few hours.

Also - and is my hot tip - let your auctions end on Sunday afternoon / evening as is when most people are in (vitually everyone has "school" monday morning:rotfl: )

As others said best way to do it on postage is to add a quid or so on. I normally do this as it covers your fees for selling on ebay.

eupho you need to weigh the item and look on royal mails website... i usually add 50p for recorded (if i guess the weight) but most things i weigh with my £2.50 kitchen scales from argos and sometimes there is only 20p difference but it covers you if the buyer says they havent recieved thier item

Oo thanks for that :T

You get a lovely yellow star once you have 10 positive feedback, and a nice blue 1 at 50 lol. I always send my items recorded or registered just in case, although i've not lost an item yet......

If you get a winning bid from a 0 feedback buyer, be wary and if you don't recieve payment or some form of communication from them within 24 hours, report it to ebay, and never post anything until you've recieved payment!

Have fun on ebay, that last hour of an auction is fun to watch lol
