Hey guys,
I am gonna be selling quite a few of my records on Ebay over the coming weeks and I wanted some guidance on selling them.
I will be listing via Ebay UK, what I wanted to know is when I put an auction up via the Ebay UK site, will it also appear on Ebay.com , ebay.de etc? I usually allow bidders from all over the world on my auctions, I will post anywhere but I'd like to be able to get my auctions to appear on most of the ebay sites (ebay.nl also) - is that done by default?
I also wanted to make my Ebay auctions look fairly flash but I am so with all the coding, is there a good program that I can use to get things looking nice and cool for each auction? a standard ebay template with just amended text and a bit of bold is a bit really.
Also, do any of you use Ebay Turbo Lister? is it any good? anything else you guys recommend?
One more thing, any UK ebayers, could you give me a steer as to what kind of postage costs I should use for my auctions? if you could fill in the blanks below that would be sweet, I wanted a steer on typical postage rates for 1 vinyl and for each one after so I am not over charging for postage or under charging.
UK -
Scandinavia -
Holland -
Germany -
America/Canada -
China/Japan/Thailand -
believe it or not I've had a Japanese guy buy stuff off me (he won one of my Cosmicman - I Love You auctions).
TIA guys
Cheers,
Simon |

well...as biz just said...i'm pretty sure that your auctions will appear on all the different ebay's...i think really the only purpose of having a ebay US and ebay UK etc is that the prices are shown in that currency to make things easier for buyers...
ps. sell all your rare records to me hehehe :p |

just my .02 from my experiences...

When setting up your auction it asks if you allow Worldwide, continent, or country by country sale.
For shipping .... this isn't much of an answer but I suggest you look and see what other people charge in their auctions as this may also help you be aligned with the competition.
One piece of personal advice : a lot of uk ebay sellers do is add a surcharge if someone is making paiement through Paypal; that is legal only if done in the uk ( to my knowledge ) so if you're selling to someone in the usa or canada you can't do that surcharge and you could get your account suspended, seen it done before. |

Great, thanks for the info guys, all I need now is an idea on using Ebay Turbo Lister, is it worthwhile? I have a fair amount of stuff to put on.
It is a bit naughty the Paypal thing, thanks for making me aware.
As far as auctions go I think I should probably give as much detail as possible (tracklists, label, cat # etc) rather than making it look all nice and fluffy with all the backgrounds and presentational e, I dont think people are that bothered, are they?
Cheers :) |

| my advice to get buyers in is to get a good picture, high res and a detailed description of what your're selling with postage costs etc |

Appears to be showing now. Searching on AYU ARMIN on ebay.com brings up your listing, as well as your id simcut. You're good on ebay.com.au also.
Good luck. |
