Okay folks... The mixer didn't sell for $199 so I just relisted for $149. That's 50% off!
Not quite. 50% off of $270 brand new free shipping is $135. Your new amount is $164 ($15 shipping added).
A friendly recommendation if I may - buyers look at items with free shipping. Something about that word ‘free’ that people (like me
) are more inclined to buy. I’m talking from experience; I’ve been an ebayer for over 10 years. List your item with a lower starting bid or $164 if you wish but at least with free shipping & include that word in your item description.
Also, don’t list it for 3; list it for 7 days. With at least one weekend you provide maximum exposure. I do 3 days only if it’s a high demand item & I need the money fast. Ending time: end it between 6-10 pm (not 5:51 am) it covers pacific, central & eastern standard time. Most buyers will be at home, back from work & they love to shop during their leisure periods.
If at present your item generates a bid, disregard my recommendation. Good luck!
