I just got another 100 in the mail from Dan today and they're up on ebay if anybody's interested you can buy one from me here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5879865328&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT).

I'm selling them for £1.99 each (and £1.75 after the first), but I'll accept most best offers.

Cheers

David

Congrats on post 666 :P

How much did you think you were paying? If you paid more than you thought I'll refund the difference :)

[ZDP-189]

He thought he was getting the whole box, didn't you Bard?

[bardster]

hehe no i have enough left of my own boxes. I misread your post and thought they should have been 1.99 plus postage - but the ebay said 99p - but ZDP put me right. Just didnt want to accidently cheat you.

DAvid,

A bit of advice on saving money on ebay listings. If you were to list your item as 49p and £1.50 P&P, then you would pay less final value fees to ebay. This is within their rules as the P&P costs are allowed to cover handling fees and packaging materials etc. Its when you sell Chinese antiques for 99p and £80 shipping that ebay get annoyed.

Don't forget administration charges and tea money!

I once helped a company sell a business in Korea. To increase the value, in their business projection assumptions, they stripped all unnecessary costs, reduced the maintainence cycle to a bare minimum, outsourced the janitor and sacked half the middle management. But, when I queried their half million dollar a year Karaoke and boozing budget, I was quietly taken aside and told not to mess with sacred traditions.

Maybe you can ask the buyer to sponsor you for a pint?

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind for the future, I didn't realise that fees changed at 49p

[Mr_Yarrow]

They dopnt, but as its a percentage of the final value, then you will by association pay less. You arent charged a fee on the postage cost, so;

Sell item for £1 + £1 postage, ebay fee 3% of final value = 3p to ebay

Sell item for 50p + £1.50 postage, ebay fee 3% of final value = 1.5p to ebay

Those % fee figures arent accurate, but the theory should still stand.

RgdsCheers, I'll try that in the future, at the moment it's charging mew 5p per sale :|

[Pyro]

In order to sell more than one item, your Buy It Now price must be at least £0.99. Please raise your starting price to at least £0.99, or set your quantity to 1. Ebay doesn't want to play nice :(

[ZDP-189]

It wants its fee (looks like 5%) and then it wants to charge you another five or ten for the paypal, which it owns.

[ZDP-189]

Can you post a hundred individual auctions?

[Pyro]

Afraid not and even if I could the listing fees would make it more trouble than it was worth :(


Sellers may not concurrently have more than 10 listings for identical items. If a seller chooses to list in more than one category, the seller must still adhere to the multiple listings limit of 10. Sellers may not use multiple User IDs to list more than 10 identical items.

Breaches of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

* Listing cancellation
* Limits on account privileges
* Account suspension
* Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
* Loss of PowerSeller status

[Mr_Yarrow]

Yes David, the above is true, however you can have 1 auction with 100 'items' in it.

Now go find out how to do it, its fun ;)
