    I am sick and tired of getting all my auctions come back to me every week

    Your eBay item didn't sell
    Your eBay item didn't sell

    So on and so on and so on.............

    Dvd, cds, badges, other household items. The DVD's are collectible, they are selling on Ebay for HIGHER prices than mine. Ditto for other items. I have tried raising my prices, lowering them all to no avail.

    IT'S A WASTE OF TIME :mad:

    So why do items that DO SELL on Ebay not sell for me ? Just very very frustrating.

    Do you always do auctions instead of buy it now? I hardly ever do an auction and people are more likey to pay more for buy it now as auctions are just annoying...really.
    People don't know what they want until you show them.

    Thank you. I am not going mad then. Others here will scorn as usual but I am not wrong.

    As for auctions, I always do the free listings and buy it now costs.

    I NEVER do the auction ones on Ebay, too much hassle. If there is an item I want I ALWAYS go for the buy no that way I know I will get it and not be part of a lottery :0)

    Well their you go then, buy it nows are so worth the extra money. You'll find people will pay slightly more for buy it now then what you'd win if the auction runs though ~ people just don't have time to be at a computer at a certain time and they want to be able to buy it and no it's coming asap rather then keep trying to win it.

    Hubb, you were going to stop remember?

    Don't do all this again, it's probably best if I try and find the other threads and just merge them as we are all just going to say the same things again.
