<div dir="ltr">I have an ebook I found online for free somewhere with great tips for Ebay. You can probably find some really good books using bittorrent.<br><br>There is nothing wrong with reserve, but in the description, state the reserve price. That way you save on Ebay listing fees.<br>
<br>Another recommendation was the ten day auction and have your auction end on a weekend, as much as mid-day as possible since that is when people aren't at work and more apt to be on Ebay, watching or looking for stuff, consider time zones too.<br>
<br>If you are selling a hot item (not stolen, just in demand), start your price at $1, then it will be marked as a "hot item" after ten bids. Hot items get noticed more.<br><br>There were tons more and they are simple logic once you think about the reasoning.<br>
<br>Ebay has changed quite a bit, like no negative feedback, so some may not apply anymore.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Steve Totaro<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 4:23 PM, Eric ManxPower Wieling <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eric@fnords.org">eric@fnords.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

feedback, BTW. I removed the reserve from 2 of my 3 current auctions<br>
(the other auctions are CATV stuff, not VoIP or Telecom stuff so I did<br>
not post those auctions here.<br>
<br>
I should note that neither eBay nor Paypal charge the buyer anything.<br>
They only charge the seller. I guess <a href="mailto:miked@jazinga.com">miked@jazinga.com</a> did not know that.<br>
