I think this is good idea for a thread and might be of some help to people...
I tend to agree with Madaracs post, as he makes a lot of good points, and are things that
I try to personally do when listing items.
Things I would reiterate are:
Starting the listing at .99 cents. It gives you lower starting fees, and encourages bidders. It also gives more of
chance for the bidding to play out and give you a fair value.
7 Days auctions are what I typically use since they give you the highest amount of time for people to see them.
I usually don't do reserve auctions.
It's not listed in the auction, but I package my sales like the post office is the enemy and it must get through the battlezone.
As long as you are fair, honest, and do a good job packaging and shipping you're doing all you can do.
.. of course you can always run into wieners... as is evidenced by the myriad posts we get here bitching about 'em...
I basically just try to list auctions in a manner that puts something out there that I would bid on.
I would want the auction to be honest, accurate, have some pictures, start low, and have easy to understand terms.
oh.. and good luck on your auctions..
have fun and make some money
...end ramble...
