Cutting & pasting direct from this messageboard never works for me either.
Copy-paste into word document-copy from word doc-paste here seems to work though.
But it's a rigmarole, for sure.
?? No problem here. Is this the post?
I still sell a lot of non fiction books. I find the ones that sell best for me are the obscure, rare titles that are long out of print. This doesnt have to mean expensive rare though.
I have had success with selling family histories. Some obscure family whos uncle Joe did all of the research in 1975 and produced a quality little paper back book for the centenery family reunion after emigrating to Australia or local histories of tiny little places I have never heard of.. You can buy them for a dollar or two at a garage sale and sell them every day of the week for $20.
I recently purchased a dozen new old stock craft books on an obscure subject ( something like making leather handbags ) from an op shop for $1 each and listed them for $9.95 with international postage. They are selling very well with around half going overseas. I also purchasede around 30 new old stock, long out of print books on training sheep dogs awhile ago. They where just little, cheaply printed paper backs of around 30 pages, but they where written by a well known yard dog trailer around 20 years ago. The box of 30 books cost me $10. Again I listed them at $9.95 and they marched out the door, being one of my best and fastest sellers.
So rare and unusual doesnt have to mean expensive. Its just stuff you cant find anywhere else. I have included a photo of one of the dog books that I kept for my own library ( with mark on cover ) to give an idea of the cheap obscure stuff I,m talking about
I couldn't seem to find instructions for ending a campaign through general search on eBay AU, but this is on eBay US:
Deleting a campaign
Only a campaign that has ended can be deleted. If your campaign is active or paused you may not be able to delete the campaign.
In order to end a campaign, click "Actions" next to the campaign you wish to end and choose "End" from the dropdown.
Note: It may take a couple of minutes for the campaign to end. Once the status of the campaign(s) changes to "Ending," check the box next the campaign(s) you wish to delete and click "Delete."
Edits to active campaigns generally take effect the same day. Edits to non-active campaigns take effect when you resume the campaign.
However, this applies only to campaigns that were set up through the original feature - the new way, where it's on individual listings, is called "Promoted Listings Lite", and on that info page, I found this:
How do I cancel or opt my listing out of a promotion?
For now, the only way to cancel or opt-out is by canceling your listing and relisting your item.
Seems like a pretty important thing to mention to members (on page) before they activate a campaign.

Try holding down the shift key when you paste-it removes formatting and posts the raw text.
