DD is selling (pretty much everything she owns) to raise money to go to summer school

So I am ebaying for my first every time

I have had some help from over on this thread but could someone keep my company & hold my hand?

I have a list of stuff on excel with descriptions, sizes & condition.

The postage seems to be between £1.60 & £2 (ish)a; shoud I charge £2 & £2.50 & offer to combine postage?

yes, sounds good :)

Do they all finish at different times a few minutes apart; or can I set an end time?

OP posts:

you can set a start time (so tehrefore an end time) but there is a cost. Some here know a way to list it all to be uploaded at a later time and then just before that time arrive you can go into the listing to edit and list straight away - thus avoiding fees (this is a way of replacing turbo lister for the free days iyswim

if you list on the syi form it will end 7/10 days to the second (ish)

Oh OK

DO you know I don't know how much this will cost me; I suppose there is a page on ebay I must look

It would be really sad to put a little bit in about DD saving up to go to summer school wouldn't it?

OP posts:

fees here pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html

plus there are paypal fees - paypal fee calculator here www.clothnappytree.com/ppcalculator/

re-cycle packaging to keep the cost down.

no harm in putting a bit about your DD at the end :)

Well done you!

Clear and to the point. Easy to read, clear photos. Good titles that will come up in searches.

The only thing that I would add (if applicable of course), if if they are from a non smoking house as it's fabrics that you are selling.

Good luck!

KatyMac · 08/05/2011 18:44

Thanks for the tip, I'll add it

There are some more going on at 20:30 - the nicer things (IMO)

Do I need "Listing Analytics"

OP posts:
KatyMac · 08/05/2011 21:33

So I have listed 25 things - if I get 99p for all of them.....how much do paypal get again?

Will I have made £20 for about 5 hours work?

OP posts:
KatyMac · 08/05/2011 21:36
