Ebay Listing ? (1 Viewer)

[gk5717]

It was free listing and if it didn't sell you could relist it 2 times at no charge. Looks like now they will charge you to relist it and then refund if it sells. My question is can I wait a week or so then relist the item like I was listing it for the first time and list for free? I,ve sold off all my good stuff that I want to sell, now it,s just leftovers that might or might not sell and I list them so cheap my margin of making any money is so small I don,t even want to take a chance on losing listing fees. Again I,m talking about .99 cent opening bids.

Gary,

Are you seriously worried about thirty or so cents?

Gary...

Ebay usually offers each seller a monthly quantity of 100 free "auction ads" with a free "buy now" option...

do you receive this monthly offer?

you should...

if so...

when something does not sell...

you can relist it free again...immediately after...or later if you desire...after the ad expires...

they should be giving you 100 free listings a month...

those 30 and 50 cent ads add up...

I list 100 items a month...always...from the free ads they give me...

I would hate to have to pay $30-$50 a month to do this...

It's a cost of doing business, just like paying insurance :wink2:

I'm going to approach one of the networks about a show; call it "Ebaying" and the premise is each week, they'd follow a guy around to flea markets, yard sales, toy soldier shows, etc, etc, haggling, dickering and bartering to get old toy soldier sets for short money, then he'd list them on Ebay and make dump trucks full of money and at the end of the show, I'd show him Tom Vu style on his boat docked in the back yard of his million dollar home with a Porsche parked in the driveway and a bevy of smokeshows on the boat with him and he'd say "Yes fellas, you too can live the life I do by buying low and peddling high on Ebay, all you need is a folding chair to bash people over the head with and a computer."


Think American Pickers, Storage Wars, Down East Dickering, Pawn Stars, Toy Hunter or any other such shows only geared towards Ebay peddling.

I think when my girlfriend comes home tonight from work, I'm going to drop my idea on her and tell her to pack up the truck because we're moving to Beverly, Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars and...................I forget the rest.

Gary...

this is directly off of Ebay's website...you would fall in the "all other sellers" category...you should be getting 100 free ads per month...as an auction expires with an unsold item...you should be able to list it immediately after it ends...free...as long as you have not passed your quota of 100 listings per month...

I thought Down East Dickering sounded made up and for the benefit of those Down Under (I hesitate to guess what the Australian version might be called ^&grin!!!) here is a synopsis so you know what to look out for when flipping channels.

They come from Down East Maine. Knocking and talking, wheeling and dealing, swapping and trading–dickering–is a way of life for these guys. Their bible is Uncle Henry’s, a magazine of classified ads that comes out every Thursday and is filled with opportunities–if you know where to find them.

Down East Dickering follows five groups who depend on Uncle Henry’s to spot a deal, distinguish trash from treasure, fix up and sell/swap, and try to do it quicker than the next guy. Each group has different strategies, strengths and weaknesses. But the common goal is always to make more than they spend and leave time to enjoy life and their hobbies on their own terms.

Season 2 of the series brings back favorite dickerers Tony, Codfish and his trusted dog Duke; Clint, Nate and Bruce; Yummy and his son Mitch; and two new teams: the Morin brothers and handy locals Speedy and Tinman.

Thanks for the laugh George :salute::

Yes; sadly, Down East Dickering is an actual show about what happens in Maine.

Apparently, everyone who sells in Uncle Henry's is a rube and those lads go around buying things and they flipping them for big money, they also never actually pay for anything, all they do is swap and trade to get the goods, then sell them for huge profits.

Yummy and Mitch are my two favorites, Yummy is priceless.

And Duke is a cool little pooch too..............

Just make sure the old ones you want to swap are worthless and I can't get $5.00 per figure on the open market for full effect.................:wink2:
