Yes

You listed at a Price so a contract was completed.

In the future list any item at a starting price that you Will be happy with, even if only one bid.

 

 

Take into account a reasonable profit after eBay fees, Paypal fees, shipping cost (if offering free post).

 

As you cannot pass fees onto a buyer in addition, you need to think about them upfront.

 

Remember too that eBay takes a cut on the total amount a buyer pays including postage.

 

Hope this helps.

 

P.S. You have bought a bit on eBay, imagine how you would feel if you won an item and then the seller just refused to give it to you at the agreed price.

if you dont sell to the winning bidder your selling life on ebay will be short lived, ebay takes a dim view of anyone breaking the rules.

As others have said.

 

You're not a newbie, even as a seller. Surely in the 3 years you have been an active member of eBay you have worked out how it works? If not, why not? Have you read the selling guides? Done the sellers' tutorial? (Yes, because you wouldn't be able to sell otherwise).

From personal experience as a buyer, you won't be banned from selling if you don't (although you very well should be).

I did them ages ago, but just had a look and can't find them anywhere. I'm sure they'd still be in there somewhere, but as for where is anyone's guess!

That's a shame because some of them were quite good. There's plenty of videos, but I liked the interactive tutes with the multiple choice questions.
