This post only applies to my readers in the UK. Royal Mail announced last week a new price structure and changes to their products coming into effect on 2nd April. When I first read the announcement on my mobile device whilst traveling to Heathrow last Tuesday, I have to say it did not get my […]
This is probably one of the most important posts so far on my blog. I am a big believer of making your products available to customers overseas, but I know a lot of people are put of by this, for reasons I don’t know. I can only think of the postage costs, but as long […]
One of my pet hates on eBay is when other sellers use your images. This can particularly happen if you are selling wholesale items that other sellers can easily get hold off and sell. Rather than take their own image and make their listing look unique, they will troll through eBay looking for another seller’s […]
My last post, all too long ago, was what to do after Christmas. This post is related to that topic, but getting ready for Christmas. I am conscious that my last post was too long ago at the beginning of the year. However I don’t believe in just posting articles on any old rubbish just […]
Now that we are well into January 2012, the mad rush of sales leading up to Christmas is now well behind us, and hopefully you will have a healthy paypal or bank balance. But what now? You will probably expect or find a big drop in sales. But it doesn’t have to be that way. […]

Just changed for the month of September is the number of characters eBay allow in the listing title. It was 55 characters and now is 80 characters. I don’t know about you, but quite often I run out of characters when choosing keywords to put into my titles, so this is good news indeed. […]
Just over ten days ago, I made a post to show a very bad listing, and my relisted item. Now it is time to see the results of my auction. Here is the video Now lets do the maths. Sale price £18.45 Minus Item purchase price including postage: £2.29 eBay fees: £1.84 Charity donation £1.84 […]
I know I have already covered this topic in previous posts by showing you items I bought that were poorly listed and listing them and showing you the results. But I found such a poorly listed item more recently, I just had to do another. In this video you will see the item I won […]
