<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ag76, post: 3432513, member: 100584&quot;]Clearly the shipping cost for the first item purchased ($4.35) was deterring bidders. I made it so high because I didn&#039;t realize eBay had a shipping discount. I was going from the USPS calculator. With the discount, however, I am actually paying at least a dollar less than that for 1-item buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there&#039;s something else I just discovered that makes me feel like an idiot. Although my item descriptions say that each additional item ships free, somehow some of my listings&#039; shipping options were entered with a $1.25 each additional item cost. (I&#039;m not sure how that happened, and I thought I scoured everything thoroughly before posting, but I was wrong.) That may have deterred some bidders as well. Once buyers request invoices, however, I am of course honoring what I stated in the item description. Live and learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those who enjoy looking at train wrecks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, here are links to just a few of those crazy auction results:</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173839951648" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173839951648" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/173839951648</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173840004061" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173840004061" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/173840004061</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173839926291" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173839926291" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/173839926291</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173838985369" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/173838985369" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/173838985369</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
