Mike dB Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 If you know what's it's worth put a fixed price OR put it at auction with a reserve (means it won't be sold until that reserve is met). HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNoble Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I sold some [vaguely collectable] old magazines on ebay a year or two back. I started the bidding at a price that would still make it worthwhile selling them for, and put in a nobody-will-pay-that-much-surely "buy it now" price. Two lots failed to sell so I binned them, but the 3rd was bought with the "buy it now" option! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimNoble Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 You got both your index fingers in plaster at the mo or something? http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html#insertion You pay a fee to list it based on the opening value, then another fee that's a percentage of the final sale price. If it doesn't sell, you only pay the listing fee. There are also charges for optional extras (see the linked webpage...). Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
