right i stumbled on some misdescribed items and got them really cheap on ebay
now i know i can resell them for good money properly described, but if the potential buyer checks my feedback they will see i got it for 99p and possibly be put off
so can i hide the items ive previously purchased? private feedback or something?

It can't be done once an auction has finished. However the easiest thing to do is to open a second account and use one for buying and one for selling.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

you can make your profile private but as far as i can remember you can't sell if it's private. Unless you try listing it and then making your profile private while the auction is live.0

right...kinda relucatant to make a second account as i have 200+ 100% positive feedback which would make buyers feel safe0

Can't you wait for 3 months until you sell them? Then a buyer will see the item number and what you bought but they won't be able to open a link or see what you paid for it?0

yeah i'll have to wait 3 months i guess ...shame though0

any of your friends got ebay accounts?0

hi i was the same but soon getting good feedback on new account.0

Why not be honest and actually boast about the last clown misdescribing it???
Like you said, it is worth a lot more if properly described.
I reckon it would be worth a go, if it doesnt work, you are going to wait 3 months anyway0 -
When i check buyers feedback i usually only check the first page of feedback so you could try buying/selling some things to push the purchase you want to hide off the first page of feedback.
