    Firslty get the buyer to remove that neg, it won't help. If buyer can't do it talk to ebay. Also check your stars, you want them very high to keep near the top of Best match.

    I am actually finding ebay very good at the moment, I had a very slow September and October but at the last weekend sales have increased so much I have had to restock weeks earlier than I expected.

    I've had quite a good few weeks and have managed to sell some things that have been relisted a few times.

    To a certain extent, it's the luck of the draw - when the right person happens to look at the right time and finds your item.

    I've found that most things will sell in the end, it's just a matter of hanging in there and waiting.

    Ebay must be booming, I am spending every spare penny i have on there.

    Although the category im looking for items in is SERIOUSLY LACKING.

    Mostly US sellers with mental postage prices.

    My sales have doubled in the last 10 days - however so have problems, I seem to be getting more than my fair share of delayed/lost items!
    And just checking my dashboard just got my 1st low star for dispatch time - although everything dispatched within 24 hours!
  • Selling at this time of year always scares me. I find it the busiest and most profitable period, but also the most unpredictable and problematic. Some postal delays are virtually inevitable, and buyers tend to be less patient than usual.
