<p>[QUOTE="imrich, post: 791223, member: 22331"]<b>Well Stated! I believe, eBay is for Masochists who like to gamble but don't want to leave home. Generally speaking, it appears that the primary winner in a gambling facility is the "house". In this case, eBay and Paypal. Like going to the Casino, you need to know the winning games. Don't play Keno, when Blackjack will more likely provide a return on "investment". I believe you will find that if your item has the proper "key words", so that it can be found by the search engine, it is in the correct category, you have a proper closing date/time, and you have a "reasonable" starting price, you will maximize success. It doesn't hurt to treat your potential customers with respect, telling them approximately what are the sales costs associated with selling on eBay, and that they are partially included in the S/H amount. Buyers seem to appreciate honesty, in spite of their S/H charge hate, and will generally leave positive feedback if you also state a reasonable "full refund" return policy. This is just my opinion, but it's worked for me.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
