    Question Need help on selling?

    I have not sold anything yet. I am set up thru Pay Pal? I believe that it will show the buyer the incoice amount and the shipping. I believe that I have also have it fixed to show how much the shipping cost to your zip code in the US It will also show Only sales tax 6% for South Carolina. I sell to serveral Internationational Country and their Shipping is also calculated they will know what it is for the item to ship to their Country.
    I have alots a people viewing but no buyers. Am I do something wrong?
    I also do next business day shipping as well. I only use USPS for all shipping.. I guess I just wait till buyer wants to buyer I offer puzzles mostly and other items.
    Thanks

    Hi Freedom and a very warm welcome to Ebid!

    I noticed at least one puzzle where there is a considerable gap between the starting bid and the buy it now, although it doesn't appear that there is a reserve price set (which is good). There are very few bidding wars that take place on Ebid so the starting price should always reflect the lowest price you are willing to comfortably accept for that item.



    Just some info for you.

    Hi. If you listed on other sites, let your old buyers know where you have landed. I list my items on Craig's List with a link to my ebid store. I've had several sales that way.

    Add your signature to your forum posts [see my help links below my signature]. Helps us find your items quicker.

    I'm sure many other will come along to offer assistance. Best of luck on your sales.

    Hi and welcome to eBid. Unfortunately, as I'm in the UK, I can't buy your puzzles as shipping is over £25 which puts them out of my reach.

    I wish you all the best.

    puts them out of reach with £25 postage.
    I Can Send 1Kg Of Emery Cloth On Greedbay To U.S.A.For About £7.
    So Your Jigsaw Should Have About £3.50 Shipping To The U.K.
    Cheers Tony

    The items might have come to end of their auto-repost cycle and they just haven't relisted them yet.

    As for the high shipping to the UK, unfortunately that's the price for priority mail out of the U.S. Nothing we sellers can do about it.

    What £25 For A Jigsaw That I Amagine Weighs 500 Grammes

    There is a thread regarding USPS priority rates. We have no control over the prices. It will definitely cut any sales out of the country, unless we ship first class [or whatever it's called]. But if we ship first class and a buyer pays via paypal, we have no on-line tracking proof which paypal requires as protection for the seller against item never received. Unfortunately, it is a catch-22.
