Novice wanting to sell bulky items on eBay but live in remote area so no good for pick-up only

[Millie1]

Goodness, that was some thread title!!

I've got 2 wooden Svan highchairs, will have 1 cot and matching changing table and a couple of prams to sell but as we live in Northern Ireland, I don't expect much interest if I list these items as pick-up only.

How would experienced eBayers suggest that I go about selling them and, indeed, pricing delivery.

Many thanks.

There's a lot of people in Northern Ireland though! And you could always list on eBay in Eire as well.

You would be surprised - people will travel quite long distances for things or get local friends/families to collect.

A courier would be your best bet.

No idea which one - Maybe try the money saving expert forums for ideas

i would list it as pick-up preferred but let them arrange a courier if they want to?

Thank you! That sounds sensible - list on both eBays for pick-up with a line saying that purchaser is welcome to arrange own courier if they would prefer?

if they organise their own courier you still have the expense of packaging and then have to wait for pick up and also have no tracking number so buyer could pretend not to receive goods and do a chargeback and get a full refund

either organise courier yourself or pickup with cash on collection - anything else you are leaving yourself open to chargebacks and trouble

Thanks Fergoose - that's a really good point. I don't mind packing the things up (did I say that ?) but it would be a much better idea to organise the courier myself. Cheers!

I got my courier through links on moneysaving expert as well - not as expensive as you would think - and for prams and svan high chairs well work it
