RESERVE PRICE

[wchapman57]

Good morning.  Can anyone tell me and eary way on how to put a reserve price on my listings?  I've looked around but haven't been able to figure out how to do it.

@wchapman57 It would have best to start your auction at the lowest price you were willing to accept.  Not only is a reserve expensive, many buyers will avoid an auction with a reserve.

There is a Reserve prince on your Auction, so I presume you now have the answer to your question.

But do you realize that if the Reserve is not met, you will still be paying eBay a fee based on the Reserve?

And did you know that Auctions are less than 15% of listings, with even the few auctions being

• priced with an opening bid at the least the seller would accept
• in the Collectibles category, not a category (like bullion or electronics) where there is an established market price
• much much more likely to go Unpaid

Further that LetterMail is not tracked, but within Canada ONLY you can pay an additional $9.75 for Registration which eBay does not consider proof of delivery in case of a Dispute.

To use LetterMail, the shipment must be under 30 grams and less than 2cm thick.

If you don't have a Solutions for Small Business number from Canada Post, get one now. This will give you discounts on some Canada Post services, and allow you to use the Expedited service.
