Hi there!

Has anyone ever advertised their house on ebay? I am thinking of this to give more exposure to our house. Also, can anyone let me know of anywhere else to put it for free or very little cost? Our house is already on the estate agents web site and rightmove.

Thanks in advance.:beer:

    That link wasn't right. Here it is: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-18014411.rsp?pa_n=1&tr_t=buy

    I think you need:
    - a floorplan
    - photos of the back garden, which put the garage in perspective so people can understand the space/access.

    Good luck!

    It's a nice house, reminds me of one my sister owned 10 years ago.

    Is there anywhere online that you can so your own floor plan as my estate agent does not offer this service? I also mentioned the back garden but was told there needs to be something that makes people want to look????? Good to hear other peoples opinions though!

    I would agree about the photo of the garden, what about one for the attic bedroom? I don't think you can ever get a good idea how one of these looks without a photo.

    I tend to think if something like a garden is not shown, what are they trying to hide?

    Picture 6 is of the attic. If I do put the house on any other sites such as ebay I think I will just put a picture of each room and the the front and back of the house.

    Any more comments? I appreciate them as family and friends do not always tell the truth.

    Thanks Sunshine_shell:D

    Oh Thats the attic, I had assumed that was the master bedroom, that looks really lovely. I can see the sloping ceiling now.
