" Well Worn Shoes "?

lisa21

OMG I can't believe I have only just discovered this thread....£285??!! What is going on??!!! :eek:

I am sorely tempted as I've definitely got a few pairs of 'well-worn' beauties lurking in the cupboard....but I can't help feeling a bit disturbed by what the buyer might do with them!!! Having said that I do need to raise holiday funds!!! Should I.......?

no listings pulled! i made the listings private and put in the blurb about how the photos were for display purposes only/shoes would be cleaned etc etc before sending. As you long as you keep within Ebay rules and regs you are cool!

So it is within eBay rules to charge £5 for sending them a photograph?

Yeah do it lisa!

Im thinking, the ones I have in mine are well and truly heading for the bin, i wouldnt get anythin for them.

A fiver is betterthan nothing.Dont think about what they would dowith it afterwards - would you really poonder that if you sold other things on ebay eg tv, weould you imagine the buyer watching it? NO! Soforget it

Good point lynz think you've convinced me - although it didn't take much!!!!!!

Just had a chuckle reading through the feedback of the £285 :eek: shoe seller:

'Cleveland, UK, the magnificient slider shoe scent land....mmmm..... More, plz'...................:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm seriously considering doing this, but I'm scared of all the questions I'm gonna recieve. Could somebody who has already done this give us some sample questions and answers? I really don't know what to expect. :eek:

Get a bloke make him wear socks whilst doing lots of walking for a few days.
Take socks. put in shoes, give em a rub about with the still wet sweaty socks. stick in a carrier bag for a few days to let em fragrance up a bit

Worked on one pair of mine

OMG I cant believe this thead. I have loads of old shoes that are ruined and really do stink! (hate admitting I have smelly feet) Looks like i'll be busy tonight. Need money for Africa so this is perfect.

Is there anything I should/shouldn't say on the listing as I dont want them pulled???

xx

Edit - How do you get them to pay for extra photos? Through paypal? I would'nt have the slightest idea.
