why you should consider pick-ups

[joethenuts]

if you can  and are available for pick-ups  then you should do it  it gives the buyer an extra service and a discounted $15 postage fee off there total price, also its a better guarentee that the buyer gets there goods , it stops buyers complaining they did not get there goods, but one of the main reasons is 99 % of my sales are pick ups and a lot of buyers picking up there orders leave my driveway with more stock than they ordered it is not unusual that a buyer is picking up one product for $25 and leaving after they spent another $100,  the best % of a buyer was one day a pick up worth $10   left my driveway spending another $525

you will find what ever you have listed on ebay the buyer would also be interested in your other items..

the other day i ordered some labels from a seller he agreed on pick up it ws not that far from were i live the amount was $20  i left there spending another $50 on tape wrapping and bits and pieces   and yes the seller did not have to pay any fees on that $50...

100% of my sales have been non-local.

 People seem to be saying all the time that pick-ups are the way to go, but really, if you live in a rural area like me, it's not worth it. Not one person I've told about my stuff on eBay has said "oh great, I want to see your stuff!" Most people in rural areas don't want the hassle of anything to do with eBay, even if it is a pick-up.

 Fine, if you're in Sydney or Adelaide or someone with a lot of people, then go for it. But when nobody local is interested, forget it!
