HI

I was given some books and put them on a 99p start auction. I've got a 99p bid with 5 days of the auction is OK to end the auction early?

Thanks for help

End early to sell for 99p or remove the listing and not sell for 99p?

As they were given books the amount it sells for is not uppermost in my mind.

Change it to buy it now 99p but I don’t know why you wouldn’t just wait 5 days.

If 99p is a matter of life or death, then, yes, end the auction.

And your life too, I reckon.

That is the question OP. What are you hoping to achieve?

Please everyone look at me...

I don't want anymore money. I want to give the books away without taking money.


Please everyone look at me...

Yes, you can end an auction early.

You will probably make someone's day when they receive an email that they have won it for 99p so that is a positive. However...do check their feedback...if they have form for being a nob, then the faff might not be worth it and hope that someone else outbids them.

For 99p, after hassle of ebay fees, packing and postage etc, why not just take to local charity shop?

Are you happy with 99p or were you hoping for more? If so let it run. Any watchers?

Hi

I've recently sold some stuff on Ebay and have some questions.

i
1. When will I receive payment as buyer paid and I shipped on the same day.
2. A buyer paid after winning but without me sending an invoice. Where has my money gone?

Ebay hold the money for a few days before sending it your bank account.

I used to sell a lot of things on eBay, my rules were.

1)Always sell things buy it now and make sure the 'immediate payment required' box is ticked. Saves all that hassle of things selling for 99p
2)Don't sell things that are worth less than £10, it just isn't worth the hassle.
3)Cheap, bulky items are not worth the hassle of packaging them up, taking them to the post office and realising you have under estimated the postage charge.
4)For anything over 1KG the Royal Mail are a joke, always use a courier where you can drop off to a shop instead.

Personally cannot be bothered with the hassle now, although the children do get me to sell their old phones on eBay.

Thanks for the advice. How do you make payment taken automatically as relisted as a BIN based on your advice.
