That's great salam.
Still 3 watchers on the bed but no offers. 5 days left. Wondering whether to reduce BIN price by £5 or 10. I would be happy with £75 for it just to be out the way!

Hi everyone, well the negative comment thankfully didn't have an impact on sales. I sold another 18 items at the weekend Smile. Waiting for my 100 free listings to start on Friday which will help. My Ebay fees are a little high at present as I have listed so much

SNOWBall4girlz · 02/07/2011 11:46

hi there moo
I know my fees are high this month too thinking about doing a car boot or lumping some of the same size clothes together ?

I posted 16 items yesterday cost 40 quid I got some nice feed back this morning.
But also got a lovely message thanking me for the baby shorts but letting me know that the 70 odd pence she paid for recorded delivery was a waste of time as the package was just pushed through !!!!
She said that she did not want me checking the post office site and it showing up non delivered :(. Lovely ebayer crap postman .

Put a few bits back on while I have a think and get some other stuff together.

how did your bed go tortoise ?
Only three weeks til the summer holiday !!!!!

moomoo1967 · 02/07/2011 13:29

My Ebay fees up til now are £31.74 Sad but then I have sold about 115 items with still another 142 active(14 already have bids on ) finishing today and tomorrow. I have 4 watchers on my wedding dress so please all keep your fingers crossed for me, its got a start price of £39.99 but would be pleased if it went for that.

Tortoise · 02/07/2011 15:17

Bed ended today and despite having 8 watchers and price being lowered by a tender, it still didn't sell!

OP posts:
moomoo1967 · 02/07/2011 19:17

Its so frustrating isnt it. Its the trying to work out why it hasn't sold.....is the price too high.....does the pic show it to its true advantage.
One woman contacted me yesterday asking me to combine postage on 6 items....so ok......then she goes out and misses them all !!!

Tortoise · 02/07/2011 19:45

Re-listed bed for 7 days. Hope it goes this time. I think £75 is a fair price for a good quality high sleeper. Probably disadvantaged by not living somewhere like London!

OP posts:
SNOWBall4girlz · 03/07/2011 11:37

my 31 items here with 10 hoursto go and only one bid :(

well I have relisted some with the 99 p free listings I had left one bid no watchers but is the stuff that I dont mind going for the 99 p start ....

Think there might be a free listing day next weekend they are getting more frequent I am working to bundle some stuff together as I need the room.
My dd3 is in clothes bigger than her older sister now :)
Tortoise good luck with your bed this time round.

moomoo1967 · 03/07/2011 13:44

Tortoise have you tried listing the bed on Gumtree or do you have an intranet site at work you could try it on. Not sure about other counties but could you list in the local paper free ? I think ours is anything under £500

Tortoise · 07/07/2011 21:47

If the bed doesn't sell this time I could put ad in local po. Can't work out gumtree!
5 watchers and just over 1 day left. Only offer was for £40.

moomoo1967 · 08/07/2011 09:27

Good Luck Tortoise.

roosterroo · 09/07/2011 16:35

Tortoise · 09/07/2011 23:01

Bloody bed didn't sell again! Despite getting 8 watchers again!

OP posts:
SNOWBall4girlz · 10/07/2011 10:53

tortoise sorry your bed did not sell again :( is there a buy and sell local on your face book also is there not a loot either on line or a paper that you could put it in?

I have relisted some but I am definately going to start bundleing up as I need the room.

Tortoise · 10/07/2011 12:30

Yeah there is, SNOW. I put it on there a few weeks ago. Will try it again. Might give Ebay 1 more go too.

OP posts:
moomoo1967 · 11/07/2011 20:22

Sorry your bed didn't go. My nemesis seems to be my wedding dress, I have listed it on Ebay, at work and on Gumtree but just can't shift it ! Not sure what else to try

Tortoise · 11/07/2011 20:46

Putting ad for bed in PO later this week. Once i have the money to put it in! Also put on FB again. It's really in the way so i might have to accept a lower price.

OP posts:
SNOWBall4girlz · 16/07/2011 08:32

is it free listing again this weekend ?
not had a e-mail yet ?

good luck with the bed tortoise it is very frustrating when you know normally you would get a great price for it

Tortoise · 19/07/2011 12:05

Finally got to list a few items! Limit is 21 still!
my items
I really need these to sell and i will be making sure i post as quick as possible after payment and i think my postage is reasonable so hopefully can get back out of being below standard!

OP posts:
DinosaursHateUnderpants · 19/07/2011 21:45

Finally got around to adding a few more things tonight, more to go on later in the week and then I'm taking the Summer off :) my items here

bossyboop · 20/07/2011 15:51

I havent listed my stuff on ebay just yet waiting for free listings again. Emptied loft at the weekend and found a load of clothes in fact a small mountain of 0-4 girls clothes and some unisex babies and toys and books and shoes, lots from Next.

Would anyone mind having a look at my album see if it's worth listing, it's all the fees that put me off and not sure how well second hand clothes do.

Heres my stuff for sale

Washing machine just broke and need to pay for new one Sad
