my MAD e-bay challenge

RosaThorne

I put a modern broken brooch on eBay on Thursday for 99p. I was going to put it on BIN for 99p, glad I didn't, it's up to £16!

Friends, debtors, countrymen (and women),

what is ebay doing - starting a 5p listing day on a Tuesday?
I have had very, very little interest...I know it's only 2 days but still...
am I just horribly suspicious.... but are they are hoping to rake it in when we all relist because we did not get the usual thurs - two weekends viewing?

I'm peed off with ebay. They have stopped me listing perfumes. I have been given some by my cousin who works in a beauty dept..all new, sealed etc which has been a really valuable earner for me ...I've only got a few left and ebay's told me I can't list any for 30 days ...because of 'limitations'. They haven't responded to my angry reply. I have 100 per cent positive feedback by the way. Does anyone know what's going on - is this a measure to prevent counterfeiting etc

feel a bit like this :mad:
cheers

Yeah I too have noticed its been really slow for the things I listed on Tuesday and also things completing tonight were not that great either - but think you have a point re not getting two weekends viewings!

Perfume I know nothing about but given the media attention re counterfeiting I think your concept of their measure could be right!

But dont give up!

I love this thread...Can I join please...:j

I did well on ebay last year but haven't done a great deal with it lately.
After being inspired by all of you I have listed nearly 80 items in the last couple of days!

My target will be 600 to pay off my catalogue debt.
Here goes... wish me luck!:rotfl:

I had a similar problem last year when I tried to list some genuine designer handbags. I had about 18 to sell but they would only let me list about 6 at a time and then I got a message warning me about counterfeiting!! I too have 100% positive feedback (currently standing at 952). I didn't know about the 30 days rule, though. I just waited a few days and then listed some more.
Sometimes buyers don't use common sense, though. They see a so-called designer bag with a start price of £4.99, and then are surprised when it turns out not to be genuine!!

yoohooo 2 days since I first read this thread and I'm so pleased! I had given up on listing smaller items because of the time it takes.
I started again after reading this and I've already sold 4 (including something that I haven't used in the last 9 years! Talk about clutter)

Thank thank thank you for starting this challenge.:D

I'm going to start again listing books on Amazon as well.

Just got round to listing some moisturisers and lipsticks. My brooch is still going up and doesn't end til Sunday! So much to list, so little time
