I listed two items. First item had 9 bids the second had four. \n\nThey didn't sell? Why is this?

You have to be careful in your minimum pricing or reserve price.  People on eBay are looking for bargains, and many people's items go unsold because they are overpriced for THAT market (as opposed to the regular retail value of an item).  Try searching similar items, and on the left under the search box, you'ss also find a box to check for COMPLETED LISTINGS.  You can research what did and did not sell, and the listing or selling prices of similar items, so that you can price your items competitively.  Good luck!

It's a terrible thing.  Have you reached the point where you've got buyer's remorse yet?  You know, where you're bidding on something just for the sake of being the winner?  Hopefully you'll reach the point I did, that is you're too broke to bid anymore.  I know it's not funny.  I mean, I've actually rescheduled appointments because I didn't want to be away from the computer at a time when an auction was ending.  If they do come up with a group for people like us, I'll look forward to meeting you there.  Until then, as they say, happy bidding.

eBay selling is not as simple as putting up an item and expect a meteoric rise in prices. \n\nThe person bid on your item, and he upped his bidding price twice in order to protect his bid (called proxy bid). But if the bid is made by the same user, you won't see his highest bid -- you will only see it if somebody else will try to bid higher. Unfortunately in your case, no one else bid on the item; hence your item was sold only for the first bid the user placed.\n\nI suggest you read the following articles to help you learn more about having a successful ebay business:\n\nHow to Find the Hottest Products to Sell on eBay http://www.powerhomebiz.com/102005/ebay.htm\nHow to Launch a Successful eBay Business  http://www.powerhomebiz.com/guide/cases/imi-ebay.htm\n7 Ways to Boost your eBay Sales \nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/062006/ebay.htm

Say the 10 items sell for $10. You paid $10 for 11 items.\nyou paid $0.909 per item and sold it for $1.\n\nProfit is $.091 on $1.00  or 9.0909%

You can but if people are asking you for a buy it now price and you have a bid allready and there is still 4 days left, it sounds like something that people want to buy. So i would leave it as is and i reckon your reserve will be met! Let this guy or girl who wants to buy it now bid for it as that is the whole point.... He is just tryin to get it cheaper.

cancel your bid ( retract ) . or ask the seller to cancel it for you . communicating with the seller is a very good thing .......

i rarely do offers.. unless there's a reserve.\n\n:D\n\noffers mostly can be a joke and the seller doesn't have to accept the best...\n\nwhat i usually do is wait towards the near end of the auction and see where the price is currently and then make a wild guess or the educated guess  (both have the same risk for most since most sellers don't know what they got)  and i go to as close as the item is really worth or the retail (depending on how old the item is really)   \n\nit's all the matter of chances...\n\nmost times i just take their offer and do a buy it now...  :D

There was 1000 shares available for sale when you entered the ordered and that amount was filled.  15 min. later 1100 more became available.   There has to be a seller willing to sell for you to purchase.  This is especially true on orders placed at a particular price but it also happens on market orders.  A portion of the order will be filled at a particular price and other portions at other prices.

Well it looks like your off to a good start. Ebay is an excellent way to sell things. Good luck!

You should have created a "Buy It Now" option for your auction.\n\nYou can't. You have to wait until the auction closes.

Wow, a 30GB iPod? These items can go for a lot of money, so you should invest in upgrades, like Gallery Pictures. Also, try to make your description very organized and attractive. Make sure that in the description, you provide lots of information about your product. It may seem like a lot and people who look at your listing probably know a lot about it, but it actually DOES make your listing seem a lot better and you as a seller more informative.\n\nSmarter buyers will snipe your product in the last 5 minutes or just bid at the last minute - this gives them a better chance of winning.

I couldnt see it on the link you put in your question!  You will need leads, ask the seller for advice...;

for people like myself (limited mobility) they can be very useful, but as *gingertod* mentioned you have to be aware of P&P, plus the call to bid is around £1.50 so think of that as well, today i bid on 2 mens aftershaves and got a massive bargain (also taking into account the P&P) just try to not get caught up in the moment and try to judge if "you" think you are getting value, i for one have certainly had some rather good buys. good luck to you!

There is not enough information.  You are leaving something out.  Did they sell twice as many $1 tickets than $2 tickets, or what?

Trying to get through all the information on eBay can be a challenge especially if you don't have that much extra time. \n\nFirst thing I would do is search for "like items" and see what other people have sold theirs for. If something you want to sell is only selling for $5.00 or so and you were expecting $10.00, now might be the right time to post your auction.\n\nBut there is a great alternative to YOU selling on ebay.  Using a drop-shop where they take your item and sell it for you!  They take the pictures--writing the description and shipping it out. They charge a commission of course, but sometimes it's worth it just to have a sale be hassle free!\n\nThe link below is to their main web site and you can click on whatever state you live in to see if there is a store near you.\n\nThere is also people on eBay (TRADING PARTNERS) who will sell for you too--you can find them by zip code.\n\nThere's also TURBO LISTER which is free software that you can download into your computer.  It's so you can get your auctions ready to post on eBay off line and then just upload them when you're ready to post. \n\nSomeone mentioned in an answer a few above me what happens if you don't sell something. It's true that you can list it again within a time frame (check with eBay for exact data) and if the item sells the 2nd time you don't have to pay for the ad again.\n\nWhat is correct is:\nIf you DON'T SELL the item the 2nd  time around, you pay for that ad too.

The first fax (which, depending on local law, might be an unlawful spam-fax) was indeed an offer, but there is a catch: the quantity is not specified, neither is the timeframe. It is not an unconditional offer.\n\nThe second fax added two contract terms and so -- if the quantity and delivery terms were other than "normal" in the industry and under the circumstances -- was a counter-offer: 4,000 and "one load by Monday:.\n\nQuestion: what is "several"? And what warranty is there that the goods are, in fact, "suitable for [his] needs"? What building is going to buy bricks sight unseen and take the chance they will meet the standards of English Heritage and the planning board?\n\nThe third fax makes it clear there is no meeting of the minds, at least not yet. Some may argue otherwise, that "receiving our attention" means acceptance. I do not agree.\n\nIn real life, neither party has any recourse. This sort of stuff is common in the buildings trades. And neither party deserves particular consideration since both were ambiguous. Bill Derr should have assumed that the spam-fax might have been broadcast widely and that any purported acceptance was, itself, subject to prior sale.\n\nAnd, hey, building materials can be returned -- that's standard in the industry -- albeit with a handling charge of, say, 10%.\n\nIMHO. But whichever side you're on you're sure to find a solicitor to take your case.
