Suddenly feeling very nervous that its not going to sell. It a mini boden dress. Keep hitting refresh but its a 7 day auction I'm going to be demented by the time it gets to the end of a week. How long can i expect to wait for a bid (if i'm going to get one at all Grin)

I do that, the refresh thing is addictive.

I look at the number of watchers and page views, bid often come in quite late.

LineRunner · 02/10/2012 20:43

Have you got your title line as good as it can be? Make, size, age , colour, 'lovely condition' etc?!

Good luck and you will get lots more interest in the last hour.

ontheedgeofwhatever · 02/10/2012 20:49

Got make size and condition but not colour as its one of those difficult to describe boden dresses.

Its got its first watcher Grin

Your link just goes to the Boden homepage.

Do you want to link to your listing (no problem if you don't), then you can get some more accurate feedback?

LineRunner · 02/10/2012 20:55

These are the latest MN auto-hyperlinks!

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 02/10/2012 20:57

Ha! I didn't realise my post had done the same !!

What else do they automatically hyperlink to?

Ford Siblu zulily ? All of the companies who advertise on here?!

Looks like it. I wonder if it works with slight alterations

mark Warner. great little trading company

OP - just had a quick look to try to guess your listing. I can't believe how many mini b o d e n dresses are on there!

ontheedgeofwhatever · 02/10/2012 21:21

LOL - I'm not going to link to it will sit and await events Grin

OP posts:
ontheedgeofwhatever · 02/10/2012 21:24

just hit refresh again its got a bid - just 99p but its still got 6 days and 16 hours to go so hopefully will go for more than that.

Very excited - pathetic really!!

OP posts:
ontheedgeofwhatever · 04/10/2012 10:30

Its still at 99p but it got 4 watchers now so I'm living in hope.

I've listed 3 other things 2 of which have bids again at 99p but still some time to go.

Right going to ban myself from hitting F5 for the rest of the day (bet i don't manage it)

Wow this is addictive Blush how have i kept away from selling for so long?

OP posts:
IwishIwasmoreorganised · 04/10/2012 19:50

Just wait for the last few minutes!

You'll be beside yourself Grin

LineRunner · 04/10/2012 19:51

And???

picnicbasketcase · 04/10/2012 19:52

People pay silly money for Mini Boden stuff. I quite often see things I'd like for DD but clearly other people are willing to pay way more than I am cheapskate Grin

ontheedgeofwhatever · 05/10/2012 21:35

I lasted until 5.30pm last night - its still 99p :( but its got 7 watchers so seems there is interest.

I am sure I'll be loopy in the last few minutes I'm bad enough when I'm bidding on something so dread to think what I'll be like when selling

Picnicbasket hope you're right as I've put up 2 old tops of DDs as well now as one item Really want to make a bit of cash before Chrismas and clear some space at the same time but why oh why do ebay limit me to 10 sale a month I'll never manage much at that rate

OP posts:
IwishIwasmoreorganised · 05/10/2012 21:37

I've never been limited to 10 a month.

Might be worth getting in touch with them and asking if it's possible to increase that limit

ontheedgeofwhatever · 09/10/2012 13:33

Its just gone for £6.50 - now hoping they'll pay. Buyer has good feedback so fairly sure they will :)

Next up DDs old b-oden duffel coat

fergoose · 09/10/2012 13:42

time your next listing to end in the evening, 8-9pm - more potential bidders.

ontheedgeofwhatever · 10/10/2012 08:24

thank you I think you're right about that. Was going to do it last night but DS was being very difficult so will do it tonight providing he gives me a chance
