And what makes it worse is when you accept a low stupid offer just 2 get rid of something and don't hear back from them.Quote:

Yeah on my eBay store a lot of my items have make an offer on them. Strangely enough, the higher priced items, no one ever makes an offer. Its the sub $10 items someone will offer $2 on a $9 item. I just ignore dipships who do this. Then they get upset and send me a message asking why i didnt respond to their offer.Quote:

And a collectible wooden Jack Daniels esky, for less than half the going price. Again, a poorly written item description, which made it almost impossible to search for via eBay, and a one sentence description. Both sellers were absolutely dirty on me. Suckers.
If I ever sell an item online, not via my store, I take atleast four clear pics, photos taken with a white or a background with nothing to draw the eye away from the item, put plenty in the description, and neatly, research of what similar items are selling for and note how they sold and how clear their wording is. I've sold stuff on there for double what others were selling for the same item on a few of occasions, just because I took my time.
When selling the caravan I had about 4 external photos which were clear and detailed , the most frequent question I got was what colour is the van ?Quote:

Second item is a 60 amp solar controller. It's brand new. Paid $150 but it won't fit where I want it so I thought $100 was fair but was asked if I will take $60. Umm no!
Lucky last is my Oz pig. Owes me $465 with accessories. Only been used to cure the paint .Was asked if I will take $175 and post from Qld to Wa!!
