Agreed. Unless it is a rare or expensive item I don't see the point in holding an auction it normally means the item is listed for days / weeks but the real bidding only starts on the last day so you have wasted all that time.

I think it better to list it with a price as the turnover will be quicker, as a buyer I no longer take part in auctions I found them a waste of time and not really an auction.

I have been gazumped many times, at the last minute someone outbids you leaving you no time to respond that wouldn't happen in an auction house the bidding continues until everyone is done.

Whilst this now seems to have turned into a debate about how best to flog stuff on eBay it started as a bit of promotion of an individuals business venture nothing to do with Palace.

Sorry to be a miserable git but this is a message board not gumtree and on the past this sort of promotion was not allowed.

Guess these days anything goes.

Hi Sport
If you find some people are not giving you feedback, try giving them feedback first, something simple like "prompt payer" I found that encouraged them to do likewise.

Also - I gave up on the auctions, it didnt really seem to provide enough bids to make it worthwhile, I just ended up putting the price I wanted & a slightly lower price as a buy it now price, some things sold quickly some took a little while longer but it worked for me-

Obviously you still get the planks that seem to think they are being clever, on an item listed for £75.00 they bid £15.00, I just rejected the offer & let them know accordingly

Hi Dubai eagle thanks for the advice and pointers I have been giving feedback on the buyer and even asking for some feedback back and a lot so far have just ignored me. Managing to make a sale almost everyday now so going reasonably well.

Haven’t had much luck with auction and items seem to go for a lot less when on auction.
