  • Try selling at a car boot sale if possible. Household items seem to sell ok

    The fault isn't with Ebay. I listed three items at 7am yesterday and by 10.30am they were all sold. I think you need to reassess your stock - it's either priced too expensive or just not popular to buy.
  • Try pricing the items at 1p and making the P&P utterly extortionate so that you make a huge profit on each one?
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.

    Perhaps the predictable, cynical trolls aside there might be some truth in the fact that eBay is dead.
    Consistently for 3 and a half years? It must be them and not you, you're probably right,thanks for correcting me.
    I think that's the first time I've been called a troll so well done on that.

    You do manage to annoy people by asking for advice. When we take the time to give some, you ignore it and continue to blame everything on Ebay.

    What were these fabulous items that should have sold but didn't because Ebay is irrevocably damaged? Have you still got those pop badges you've been trying to get rid of for years?

    A black cat just went past, then another just like it....
  • This isn't the guy with the old badges is it?

  • And I was thinking only the other day that hubb hadn't whinged about ebay for a while. Is there a school holiday pattern to these posts?

    So why do I get a LOT of watchers? I never used to. If all people can contribute are sardonic comments then I am wasting my time here. I have not changed my pricing (it's already very reasonable), 100% positive feedback a variety of items that do sell elsewhere on Ebay. You obviously don't get where I am coming from.

    I am sure Soolin works for Ebay because he/she does a very good job of fielding off criticism towards them.
