I used to be a prolific buyer-now I mainly buy from sellers in the Fbook buy and sell groups, many of whom offer Paypal and postage.

 

I wouldn't return to selling on ebay if my life depended on it-postage costs are absurd.


 True, but just trying to get it down as much as possible really helps. I used to cover postage costs myself until I realized I was making zero profit, so now I always charge the buyer between $5 and $12, and I've had a lot more success since doing so, don't ask me why.

 

 But I'm glad you've found an alternative to eBay, hope that continues to work out for you 🙂

May was amazing for me. It was my best month for over 2 years. No complaints about May at all

 

However since June started its slowed down to the point where i havent had a sale in 2 days

 

How can you go from selling 10 then 13 items two days and 0 and 0 the next 2 days?

That's weird, isn't it? Our fate is in the buyer's hands!!!

No it's not weird as a sellers fate is always in the buyers hand

Thank you 'jessicadazzler'  .... I really appreciate your advice on description change .... I've been thinking for soooo long, that I should change my description format which has been the same for years 🙂

 

I am happy to stay at auction and think  the 3 free re-list option is great .... I am selective about what I buy and what I pay, and quite often the items are bid up to a price I wouldn't have put on BIN.    I have several regular buyers, (two have been buying for years) .... I just pop their items to one side .... send an invoice without postage at the end of 3 weeks  ... when they ask, I send their invoice with postage.   I really don't know what I'd do without them.   I also know to look out for their sizes when I'm shopping. 

 

Thanks once again,  I value the information on my description  .... I will take some time later on to change it all.

 

Good luck, and like the little beavers "keep on keeping on"  🙂
