You can auto-repost upto 10 times. I generally use 10 days x 10 auto-reposts which = 3 months (well, just over )

But you also have the option of 'Run Til Sold' / 'on 1st Bid' which means just about forever - but those listings slip to the bottom of the category and searches beneath the shorter term e.g. 7 / 10 day listings.

Have now reached +5 feedback (as I went and bought a few bits to boost it) and now the sunglasses have disappeared, and i'm even getting some views on all the DVD's that i've listed on the 10 day auto repost basis. Still no sales though

Hi Mira666,

Sales come slowly, but they do come

mira666

I hope so, like i said I'm getting views, but i want to boost some sales, maybe i need to buy some more bits and pieces to aid my quest...... also does anyone know how the feedback scores work if you buy more than 1 item from the same person? i.e. do you get +1 then +1 or is it just all counted as 1 unique purchase like ebay?

I guess it helps to have some F/B to encourage buyers when you start selling.

the only thing that gets me down is the ridiculous amounts of postage some people charge, but as we keep saying on the ebay side as well, if you're not happy then don't buy

I had very good feedback on ebid having bought several items over a 5 year period, still didn't help me make any sales though.

I have no feedback but am starting all 6 of the auctions I have on there so far at 25p or 99p. I do charge a bit for postage but it reflects the costs of the jiffy bags, getting to the post office and the postage itself. My username is the same as here but without the space between the words if anyone wants to earn Buddy points from me or giv me feedback on my first listings.
