    I need some advice from the ebay experts please...

    I've been asked if I have a Buy It Now price for 2 pairs of trousers I have listed. So obviously I haven't had any bids yet for them but I have 7 watchers on 1 pair and 10 watchers on the other. There are 2 days and 10 hours left. Should I add a BIN price or should I leave it as an auction? What would you do? And how much would you pay for BNWT and BNWOT items that originally cost £20?

    I'm rather hoping that someone makes a 99p bid and then I don't have to make a decision :rotfl:

    Thanks,
    MWC x

    Hi MWC-considering the amount of watchers you have,I would be inclined to leave them and see how they go. Even if you ask £10 each for them you will pay ebay fees on BIN, so you may not be any better off? They must be lovely trousers!
    I love watching my stuff being "watched " as well!
    Good Luck

  • Eggs IN 7
    Eggs OUT 24 (3 boxes sold for £5.40, 6 to be used in a frittata for dinner)

    Plants IN 3 (the Ricinus communis arrived + 1 canna 'black knight' (dark foliage, red flowers) + 1 mini plum tomato plant)
    Plants OUT 1 (one of my horrible chickens decided that it would be fun to dig up my runner bean plants :mad:)

    I went to the garden centre this afternoon to buy a hanging basket liner... I did quite well to come out with only 2 plants... a 2 mile walk home limited too many impulse buys :rotfl:

    Frittata (probably courgette, pea, feta & mint) & salad for dinner

    Hi MMC.

    If you have an iphone,you can get an Ebay app which is excellent.
    You can watch all your activity on the go..but maybe not in the middle of a concert:D
