There's a way to tell if someone put it on their watch list? Anyone know where I can see that? I'm SUCH A novice here!

There's a way to tell if someone put it on their watch list? Anyone know where I can see that? I'm SUCH A novice here!
On your "My Ebay" screen you can tell the number of bids and the number of watchers in the same place. Go have a look, and let me know if you see it.
Your ad looks great! :confused:
I Personally don't see why anyone would bid before the last day, that bumps up the price! I ONLY bid at the last few minutes. (Unless it's buy it now of course)
I put up a pair of brand new $150 Tony Lama boots with 5 wonderfull pictures for $80 and NO one bid, so I lowered it to $40 and still after 3 weeks NO one bid! This was the first thing my mom and I listed (share account) we did have great Ebuyer ratings, we've bought about 10 things, including a $100 saddle, payment right on time. *sigh*
Your auction looks great and the starting price is a bargain but my first instinct was wow, $9.00 shipping? I guess I just don't think that baby clothes weigh that much even if there are 17 pieces. It just sounds kind of high to me. Of course if I was the only bidder who could complain at $11.99 for all those pieces shipped.
Good luck with it. I've never sold baby clothes but I've sold plus size clothing (things I didn't like before I lost weight) and I did really well with them. When I know that I will keep the weight off I may clear out my plus size wardrobe on ebay, LOL!

Also, I just noticed on your counter at the bottom of the page that it's only 25 (well now 31 with all of us looking) so you just aren't getting many hits.
We took the box to the Post Office before we listed it. It came to $8.10 as the cheapest rate. We said $9 to include gas to get there and the boxing, etc ;) Yeah, we were a bit surprised at the postage ourselves.Quote:

Are you looking at your actual listing, or have you signed into "My Ebay" from the options at the top?Quote:

I just looked at similar auctions to yours that have closed recently and it's kind of hit or miss. A few went for around $20 for a large lot, one for $10 and couple for $7 and $5. There were a couple that got not bids.
Hang in there! Seeing that you still have a couple more days I wouldn't get too frustrated yet.
So once you have signed in do you see a section called "Items Selling" or words to that effect. You would get a title of the left, then you would see price, number of bids, and also a number under a heading of "Watchers". Now the number may be 0, but it would still be there.
Karen, I don't see what you're referring to -- but I COULD be blind since it took me 5 minutes to find the link to edit the listing.

Go to Paypal.com, create a log-in then create an account. They'll walk you through all the steps. You WILL have to give personal information that most people warn you about giving out over the internet, but just make sure the https: is at the beginning of the URL and you should be fine - I've never had any problems. As for getting started on Ebay, they offer a ton of info for newbies. I read through some of it, but I learn from doing so the best thing for me was to just jump in and start an auction! :D If I were you, I would save my Beatles stuff until you're a little more experienced. Start out with items you really don't care about just to see how it works. Also, if you want to get the most for your items, DON'T only offer them locally. I find most people will ask questions if they're unsure of what they're looking at through pictures, but most don't need to see the item in person. Although, you need to be honest when describing the item. Don't try and gloss over obvious flaws and make the buyer think he is getting a pristine item if it is not. Trust me, if they really want it they will take it, flaws or not.Quote:

One word of advice. Put right in your listing that you will not end listings early so please don't ask. Until I did that, I was getting requests to end auctions early all the time. I started out with a low starting bid to get peoples interest....for example. One item I started bidding at $9.99. Almost immediately someone offered me $75.00 for the item. Thankfully, by that time I had wised up and told him no, even though it sounded like a fantastic price at that time. We ended up getting about $225.00 for the item, which made the $75.00 offer look pretty measly. So stick to your guns and don't end auctions early. There are much more savvy people out there just waiting to prey on the novice - don't be taken in! I could go on and on, but I too, don't want to hijack this thread. ;)
Kim, don't you have a ghost living in your stairwell? I bed he'd bring a boatload of money! ;)
Kim, go to the "My Ebay" link on the top of the screen.Quote:

I think the ad looks great. I would bid on it. BUT.......
I have been looking at kids clothing lately on ebay (for neice and grandneice) but have not actually bought any......why? shipping. There are so many places to get GOOD used baby clothing for half (or less) of retail price that I did not find anything worth bidding on once the shipping cost was added.
