Ebay Selling Tips *needed*

Yep, agree with the above... £5 postage would be a really big turn-off for me, and the large font is annoying.

Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna re list the items and see what happens

I was wondering the same about linking to images hosted elsewhere is this allowed on ebay?

Edit: relist using your tips

dave can your listing get removed for doing that?

Using Photobucket? I don't think so, I have done it a few occasions and I know someone else who does it.

Does anyone else know?

I agree with the comments about p&p charges - £5+ puts people off. It's worth minimising packaging and actually weighing your item before listing so you can get an accurate post cost.

Another thing is timing - I can't tell from your examples when your listing ran until. You're usually better timing things to finish over a weekend rather than during the day, or midweek, as more people will be around to bid. When ebay have their 'cheap listing' Thursdays this is handy as a 10 day listing brings you round to a Sunday finish.

The no7 bag shouldn't cost more than £3.50 p+p, mine cost me £3 inc paypal and ebay fees, with the p+p. Also Boots would be another one to put in the title

I usually offer more than one postage option - one as cheap as possible, second class, using packaging that will in save the item from being broken but doesn't necessarily look good, etc, but include a charge for my time, list this first then people will see it in the listing. Then I also offer 1st class recorded at a higher cost if people want it. Coming up to christmas I also offer gift wrapped with the reciept sent separately.

Of course if selling an item worth over about £20 I use recorded delivery to cover myself, but you can do this 2nd class too.

Thanks, I have relisted the charger + shoes for 99p starting + £2.50 P&P...actually I started the charger at 50p.

I have interest in the no7 bag so I'll leave that for now at least and then re list later if it doesnt go.


On a slightly different note, I have a Dior top I've never worn... and to be honest I can't be 100% it is genuine... how would you list such items? Would you say Dior* or not? :S

just looked at your new listings and they are much better

Thanks for the advice, fingers crossed this time

If I wasn't sure it was Dior, I wouldn't list it full stop. And why the *?
