What were the fees?:rotfl:
Personally I am too chicken to start at 1p:o:j I love bargains:jI love MSE0 -
can't see any benefit in starting at less than 99p, if it's not going to sell for 99p it's probably not worth the effort of sellling on Ebay0

You should have started it at 99p, that would have saved you 10p on the insertion fee, or even would have been free if it was listed last weekend.
It may have cost a small amount financially, but what you learn from these experiences is invaluable!<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
I have listed many auctions before forgot to keep an eye on them and sold for less than the p&p fee. The other day i sold 30 sim cards for £5 and it cost £6 to send, then the user left me neg feedback as some had been opened which it stated in the auction, the cheek!
Think thats worse than a 1p'er'

I did this with a bundle of my wee boys clothes, 13 outfits, all good stuff, started at 99p, sold for 99p but to make it worse I misjudged postage and ended up out of pocket by £3!!!! Never again, from now on I only list at the price I think the stuff is worth!They took my signature away!!!!

Neg them back while you still can for lack of communication and inappropriate use of feedback. It's all part of improving the "seller experience"!!!!<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
If I bid on something that has a 1p starting price I always bid at least £1.
