@johnsmall5901 3 жыл бұрын
thanks for the informative video. Good info without fluffy filler! But I have a question for anybody who has thoughts on this: How do you decide when/if to use postal tracking and insurance when selling *within* your country? (I'm in Canada.) 1) Never? (unless buyer requests and pays for it) 2) Always? (in order to avoid pesky postal (or the odd dishonest) buyer issues) 3) Some other solution? If shipping cross-border, I assume tracking is the norm. But what about insurance? Or maybe when you use tracking, the insurance is bundled automatically with that? (I'm obviously new at all this.) Thanks!

Hi Nic & Andrea just want to pick your brains as experienced ebay sellers, now if you have an item to sell normally you look at current listings and sold comps for an indication of the items sale ability and maybe how much to list.My question is Who watches items?? I list items and have watchers, sometimes end items and relist at later dates bang the watchers are back but not buyers just watchers from your experience are these people just trolls to see if your items are selling? Myself I might watch an item I am interested in on auction format if goes over my max price then I don't bid but who watches BIN items?
@Cloudman572 4 жыл бұрын
There are all sorts of watchers. I watch scale models that have been painted well so I can use it for reference or I watch items that are too high in price but they reminder me of that items in 2 months time for example so I can search that product at a price I can afford if there are any. Or I watch a sale of an item that I have the same one of to see what price it reaches. All my watched items sit in the watched list no matter how long ago the auction was - I use it the same way as my google favourites list.

@@NicHills Just thinking, by time this is over kids might be all played out with Lego and everybody will be selling it off cheap . Lego and toys are not my thing, but a local charity shop used to keep it for me so I just buy it all anyway.Believe it or not I sell Lego figures for a pound each at the boot sales regardless.

Hi nic at what value / price do you decide to send items recorded delivery? Or as you have a business account with Royal Mail , does this protect you?
@JamesSmith-ru7mm 4 жыл бұрын
If it goes over £20.00 then technically it should be Recorded. Standard post (First and Second Class) covers £20.00 maximum.

We have a huge backlog of stock to work through... the government has told online retailers that they are encouraged to carry on and we are able to drop off our orders. So until advice changes that is what we are doing...

Profit Tracker thank you so much for replying. I’ve only got my children’s huge pile of playmobile that they’ve outgrown that I need to sell and unfortunately don’t have any rare or vintage ones unless playmobile from 10 years might be in that category, I’ll have to check what I’ve got. But it’s great to know and I’ll be looking out for those rare and vintage for reselling. Thank you so much for the tip.
