first thing is never list an item for auction if you want to get a certain price list it as fixed listing offer a best offer option this way it engages a customer to show interest for example you want $200 for an item list it with a best offer option you don't want to be bothered with the annoying $5 offers(trust me there are crazies who will offer these low prices along with a story for there grand daughter birthday present and they can't afford more!) so put in an amount that under that price it will automaticlly decline leave some room say $50 so if you get an offer for $150 you can counter offer $190 keep in mind each buyer has only 3 offers... this is today's tidbit

you mean more fees? you will prob. get more $$ selling bin because you will sell it at a higher price you can estimate your fees with this tool.

also do not forget always ship with tracking number and if the item sells for more then $200 a signature would be required to win a paypal/ ebay case. usps recently dropped there insurance prices drasticly so you might want to insure it although to make a claim you might need president Obama to approve it!

also ups is way better tracking more accurate. now you can also ship via fedex and purchase the label through ebay shipping(but not through paypal..)
order free flat rate envelopes/boxes the envelopes are really good you will be surprised what can fit in there

nutcase, thanks so much for the valuable info you are contributing. Not to be mean or anything, but would you mind using some punctuation (especially commas)? It would make it infinitely easier to read...

I guess we just hold ourselves to higher standards around here. ;)

Once you practice typing enough it won't be any "harder" to type with punctuation.

If you ever sell an item, to hawaii (HI) do not ship it out parcel post it can take 6-8 weeks and it actually does.
if you sell an item to an apo, fpo address (army base) same thing as above
