    Ever get the feeling you have under-priced something on eBay?

    One of OH's consoles - the Nintendo sold within 7 minutes at the Buy it now price! I suspect we have woefully undervalued it, but never mind. It would simply have been sitting in a cupboard unplayed and dropping even more in value if we hadn't listed it. That's life I guess!

    Well, got everything listed this afternoon and OH took a trip to the tip so the garage is nearly clear enough to take a car (a novelty in these parts believe me!)
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
  • angelavdavis, did you check previous completed listings to get an idea of the right price for it? It might just be that the buyer wanted one right now and your feedback and description were good.

    Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but if they paid by Paypal make sure you are sending to a confirmed address and make sure you send by a tracked method. Just to make sure it's not a scammer.

    Ginga, it might be worth you wandering over the ebay forum and asking on there if you haven't already, as there will be lots more Auctiva users on there and you'll probably get help quicker. Sorry I couldn't help but I've never used Auctiva.

    Angela as long as they've paid and you're happy with the price! Better than sitting in a cupboard as you say. Any gaming stuff does do really well. I sold a broken, yes BROKEN, Nintendo DS for more than £40!

    An hour to go on my lot...
  • I use Auctiva infrequently and don't have a problem uploading photos, but I'm not particularly techy so wouldn't know where you might be going wrong.

    From the home page are you clicking on 'upload images', then 'drag and drop uploader' if you are using windows explorer, then click in the 'files' box, then go to your open windows explorer and drag and drop your photos in the box.

    Then scroll down and make sure you have selected the folder you want to store them in, then click on 'upload'. You should eventually get a green box that says 'confirmation' and lists the jpgs uploaded.

    Are your photos stored as .jpg?

    Don't know if any of that might help :confused:
