Ive listed some Tesco Clubcard vouchers on ebay, but havn`t got any interest in them, I know I`m asking double what their worth, but thought someone might be interested. What am I doing wrong?

You're aiming too high, imo. Best to start the bidding low.
No picture - how does anyone know they exist?
Hope that seller's standard rate is Special Delivery... in which case you should say so, because £3.99 looks expensive for something that could be 2nd class for all we know!My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
Well I was hoping that me feedback would speak for itself, i agree wit the photo though, cant find my camera. But i have about 3 other lots like this ready to go, so I might just list them with pics hoping that they fetch something.frivolous_fay wrote: »You're aiming too high, imo.

If you are happy for advice then may I please be a bit frank here?
Correct your spelling, I know I am the last person in the world to remark about spelling as my own is erratic, but it makes a listing lot better if it looks confident.
Then like Fay says don't use the sellers standard rate as an option..any vouchers must be sent special so you will need to make sure you show that clearly and for your own benefit make sure you have charged enough. £3.99 is not enough for special delivery.
Lastly, add a photo...
Also, while I'm being picky, why did you list this is an auction with a BIN at the same price? You've paid two lots of fees (basic listing and an upgrade)...it would have been cheaper to list as a BIN only.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.

I didnt know you could just add a BIN price, I`ve tryed several times but it never seems to let me. I just thought it was another of Ebays money making tactics.0 -

If you list via turbolister then just choose the option 'Fixed price'. If you are listing direct on to ebay then on the main selling screen click the tab for 'fixed price'. Either of those ways will give you a BIN price only and you don't pay for the upgrade bit.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.

Let's not beat about the bush here you are being too greedy!!0 -
my first thought would be....if it's such a good bargain, why don't you want to use them yourself? Is it because you don't have really have them to sell?

I very rarely look at items without a gallery listing, I also never bother with an item that has been badly mispelt.
I personally wouldn't pay £50 for a few clubcard vouchers, I think items like this you need to willing to sell them for a lot less.0 -
I wouldnt pay £50 for them Im afraid. I think thats what the problem isBaby Ice arrived 17th April 2011. Tired.com! :j0
