I think it's because the site is slow and takes a second or two to register sometimes.

Sales, others have said similar, including moi.

Don't mean to pry but some of your items especially some of the books seem very high priced.

You've only had 1 sale in the last 3 months. I doubt it's any scrolling thing that have caused no sales, it would have everything to do with your staggering prices. No-one is going to pay $25 and $40 postage for a clapped out old clock radio. Nor are they going to pay those insane prices for a lot of the books. You are listing in flooded catergories, you can't list things for higher than they are brand new and expect people to pay it. Especially when buyers can get the same things at a much lower prices elsewhere.

$100 for a fake handbag? $220 for an instruction manual for an obsolete spreadsheet (or database, depending on whether you read the title or the picture)?

I think the others are correct. You need to research your prices, and eBay's policies on counterfeits.

I think they are confusing vintage with being worth something. Vintage doesn't necessarily mean expensive!

Who cares? It's not me forking out hundreds of bucks a year to a company, for absolutely nothing. If I don't sell, I don't pay. Simple.

I have researched the books on book finder.com and the books were expensive when I purchased them thank you for your comments postage was calculated by Australia post and advice from eBay

So how did you price your books.....find a price on bookfinder.com and double it or treble it?

The text books may be expensive but your pricing for readily available novels is crazy.

You have priced Angels and Demons by Dan Brown at $40 for a used book.....I can buy it new from an online seller for$17 with free postage.

You are asking $38 for Fox Evil by Minette Walters.....available for $10.59 online, new.....less than you are asking for postage.

If you really want to make sales you will have to look at your pricing....buyers will not pay the prices you are asking, especially for used books.

What you pay for a book really has nothing to do with what it is worth later on.

Unless you are selling through Amazon or Abe, bookfinder prices are indicative at best. You will only see eBay listings on there if there are very few others. And you will also see a vast range of prices - because some sellers sell for peanuts, some have inflated ideas of what a book is worth, some are first edition hardcovers, Easton Press or Folio Society copies, or signed.

The important thing is what the book/s are selling for on eBay, the platform you are actually using.

Used Dan Brown paperbacks will not sell here for more than about $13, for example
