Ebay Sellers Help or Market Stall holders

[Salad]

Hi Girls,
Just wondering if anyone has any handy hints on selling on ebay. I have heaps of clothes BNWT to sell and have started selling and I am making some sales. I feel like I am always paying fees though - which I knew ebay fees were high but geez not this high.

Does anyone sell with no gallery photo or are gallery photos essential - just looking at ways to sell with less fees.

I have even considered heading down to my local market and trying my luck there.

So does anyone have any tips or opinions. Any suggestions would be helpful.

looking forward to your replies.

I'm not a seller, but I buy (probably too much, too often) from ebay, and I don't care if there is a gallery pic or not, as long as there is a pic somewhere so I know what it is that I am buying.
I don't know if that helps or not as I have not (as yet) sold anything on ebay.

I use to sell on eBay but fees got too insane so i moved over to OZtion much better in the fees dept BUT takes longer to sell as not as much traffic in buyers

... You could give there a go

Hi Salad,

There are ways you can get as many photos as you want on your listing for free - or alternatively use Oztion - it is free to list and only has a small sellers fees.>

if you want more info PM me and I would be happy to advise how to do this.... (not sure if I am allowed to post links on here so safer that way)

Thanks McReidy I appreciate that info. I have started listing on bidmate, its free also but when you sign up at the moment they are giving you an $80 sellers account which pays for the final value fees. Also if you post in their forums they give you credit also, its an aussie site. Very slow going at the moment but hopefully it will pick up.

will pm you now in regards to the photos.

hi again mcreidy I tried to pm you but you are not allowed to get them yet

Ebay fees have become ridiculous, but unfortunately you are more likely to sell your items through eBay than the other auction sites. It's the shoppers that are flocking mainly to eBay and they're the ones you want LOL!

You really do need to a gallery photo, I always notice that the items that don't have one usually don't sell for as much.

Good luck

Oh and you can only receive PM's if you have made at least 50 posts and been a member for over a month
