How not to advertise on ebay

[thunderbird13]

In order to maximise your sales potential follow the guidelines below :

Have at least one good photo

Give as full a descripition as possible

Dont charge a ridiculous amount for postage as it can be seen a profiteering

Dont start an auction for a "valuable" antique at £ 0.99 as it might look like you didint value the item very highly yourself

I've never tried to ship a double bass but I reckon it might cost that sort of money?

But does it not depend where your shipping to ?

Close enough I can get my Dad to pick it up, so now they can't change it.

Who has that saying,
"Double bass, an Airfix kit waiting to happen!" ?

I really, really need to see this!

If I had £390...

[yorks5stringer]

Something tells me she hasn't really got the hang of ebay advertising yet....

[spinynorman]

Haven't we seen this before? Dealers put up the ad to take advantage of a free listing day and add the details later.

[skidder652003]

Hi i was wondering if you could be a little more specific about the painting?

Free listing day is for auction style rather than buy it now generally, there hasn't been a buy it now free listing day for ages.

[davehux]

She's put the details on there now.

Horrid picture

Just look at how the eyes follow you round the room...

although now it seems to have moved from Cheltenham to Bexley SE London . I think avoid on this occasion , although I am tempted to go round and have a look as I only live a few miles away

[yorks5stringer]

I think its sold now, she eventually added the info too.
