I HAVE AN ITEM FOR SALE BY AUCTION WHICH ENDS TODAY, SO FAR NO BIDS,. CAN I CHANGE THAT SALE PROCESS TO FIXED PRICE PLEASE
What made you change your mind & list as an auction like last time?
I had a look at the item. I don't really know what it is & I have some doubts it is the sort of thing people will go wild about in the closing moments of an auction & that you'll see a bidding war. But maybe that just means it isn't my kind of thing, I suppose.
As a buyer, here are my perceptions. (I am not saying they are necessarily accurate, they are just first impressions that pop into my mind)
-it looks to be an electrical item but you're only asking 99c for it & that puts me on alert, it makes me wonder how safe is it? Maybe it hasn't been stored all that well, maybe electrical regulations have moved on & this version isn't as good as current ones etc 99c to me does not shout out that the seller values it or that it's quality.
-your description is very short. There is nothing in it that tries to persuade potential bidders that this is a bargain buy.
-your postage cost is really expensive for what looks to be a cheap little switch. If you're really happy to get 99c for it, then at least list as eg $13, postage included.
-interestingly enough, there are some ads coming up under yours & one shows a very similar switch. It's a class 9007.
Here's the link.

Now that one has a clearer photo & is probably not the exact same model but it's $150.
That leads me again to wonder-what's wrong with yours that you only ask 99c?
If you want to sell the thing, put it at auction or buy it now or make an offer, whatever, but increase the starting price to maybe $40 or whatever you want for it & maybe mention condition etc in the ad.
