Good morning all forumers

i remember somewhere a long time ago that apparently there is rules regarding the selling of mystery boxes.

i have searched in various spots but could not find anything.

if anyone could offer some advice it would be very much appreciated.

happy selling everyone.

Don't - or if you do make them worthwhile as I see alot of complaints about 'making money from postage' Some tend to sell the 'mystery' for a fraction of it's price, and charge higer post to cover, which I guess is okay, the buyer doesn't have to buy. But some, sell worthless, cheap stuff at an inflated postage price and I think this is wrong and screams 'I want a negative'. Check out the others on ebay now and see if you can get a few tips for the obvious do's and don'ts. JMO - I would never buy one, but that's just me.

Thanks greencat.

good idea i will go and have a look at some now - see what i can find lol.

happy selling.

Who do you think would buy one?  I guess only a person who has heaps of money and does not know what to do with it.

Most people carefully look for the best deals on things they need.  🙂

I personally would never bother bidding on a "mystery box"...I prefer to know exactly what I am getting for my money and don't have enough to throw away on what could turn out to be a box of worthless tat.

hi supernova,

thanks for your reply.

i am thinking along the lines of a millinery mystery box which could include feathers - even up to a fascinator included - with a particular colour theme for the winning buyer - positivie thinking in advance lol.  with normal postage rates not blown out etc etc

i have a great following of repeat buyers - i just remember seeing on a listing or a forum or somewhere last year - some rules about mystery boxes and ive searched but just cant find anything regarding the rules.
