Yeah sure zips - eBay is a good way to rid yourself of those dodgy child porn movies and automatic assault rifles that are sitting in the cupboard. Doh! Thank got my AK47 went to that high bidder from Afghanistan - phew - got away with that.

it doesnt tell you exactly what the fees are. If you don't know just say so!

and is that a no about porn?

Well the good thing about forums is you can just ask simple questions and get straight answers without researching. In theory anyways!

Nae probs wee pal - glad I pointed you in the correct direction on both your selling and bidding questions. As I said, my current score is 3581 so I should be able to pick the links faster than you wasting time having to search

What you mean like every single auction house does the bastards how dare they the cheek of it not doing it for free

Theres a living to be made on ebay if you learn about drop shipping and can find some decent suppliers.

Its where you find a cheap price for lets say a tv for £400 and you list one on ebay for say £600 and when someone buys it from you buy one for £400 and get them to deliver it to your buyer on ebay. It leaves you £200(minus fees) better of for next to no work.

Just got to be sure your supplier is reliable you can make a fortune doing this

essentially you find some poor Chinese sweat shop that would supply anyone things cheap (like your trainers) for say $5. Then you appear to sell them as a trustworthy European (or American) trader for 50 Euros but still only kick-back $5 to the sweat shop when you get them to do the supply. You do 0 really!

Who wants to buy $100 trainers for $5 from some unknown Chinese sweat-shop or their holding warehouse (who probably cannot market themselves properly to foreign markets)?! You'd probably trust me more cos I could produce a flashy website and offer you a super bargain for 50 Euros. It's just the way of the world and exploitation unfortunately.

Some are good at producing or wholesaling, and some at selling - I was painting the scenario in the darkest of back & whites anyway. The $5 end are probably happy with the increased sales in my notional scenario.

You could message the seller and ask if they'd consider ending the auction now if you gave them £x amount. The worst that could happen is that they say "no" !!!

Alternatively, google for a website that kinda specialise in selling replacement remotes! I got one for my cable cheat box cheaper than they used to go on eBay auctions! It's worth a search

LOL just won some white Kswiss trainers for £2.50! The postage is even more than that at £3.50.

Change the laces and theyll look almost new.
