What should I do?

Answer 1

Try persuading them, throw in a couple of games too ;]

Answer 2

if you already listed your auction, then you just have to wait til it is over. But if not, then start with a lower price and list for 10 days so it ends on the weekend (sunday to be exact), this is because there are more bids and auction tend to close succefully on weekends.

and with ten days listing you will get to weekends. When listing make sure to list on Thursday at 9.00pm your local time, so that it ends on sunday at 9:00pm.

Also don't include Buy it now option.

i have a software i used to check my product to see if it will be successful before posting on ebay. I can't give the link to the software because i bought it at a seminar and was it given the link. Sorry

I will try and see if i can find it.

I just checked the xbox 360 for you, and there is:

Average Start Price: $32.88
Sell-Through: 58% - successful sold auctions

Listings Sold Listings Sell-Through Sold Price
1 Day: 32,375 16,524 51% $96
3 Day: 32,266 16,847 52% $75
5 Day: 11,178 7,819 70% $67
7 Day: 26,018 14,819 57% $56
10 Day: 1,260 808 64% $63

Listings Sold Listings Sell-Through Sold Price
Sunday: 4,495 2,653 59% $74
Monday: 4,055 2,408 59% $75
Tuesday: 3,814 2,232 59% $75
Wednesday: 3,859 2,215 57% $78
Thursday: 3,961 2,278 58% $80
Friday: 3,861 2,221 58% $75
Saturday: 3,858 2,169 56% $70

listings start of at the first and not the days or weeks. i tried group them to make the presentation nice and neat but did not work a guess.

I tried to paste some of the successful auctions it doesn't come as link. check this on auction out it had 45 bids and start price was $0.99.

Answer 3

In your "Title" you didn't write pants or jeans. So when people search for Size 4 Pants, I don't think yours are going to come up on their screens. Also instead of writing "NEW" you should write "NWT" - New with Tags. Don't worry too much though, because a lot of the times, bidding doesn't actually start until like 4 hours before the auction ends. Also, if it doesn't sell this time, you'll be given a chance to revise the item description and relist at no cost. And you can make the auction last shorter than 7 days if you need the money quickly.

Answer 4

list the item number, and we can take a look at your auction and tell you if we see anything wrong.

is the auction over yet? most bidding takes place in the last hours, minutes, and SECONDS of the listing.

i know i snipe my bids, meaning i bid on them with like 4 seconds left in the auction.

It's also against ebay rules to charge more insurance than what the insurance actually costs. insurance on a 300.00 item isn't more than 10.00. PLUS on an expensive item, you NEVER make insurance optional. If it is damaged, broken, or never arrives, you are responsible...even if you say "not responsible once item leaves my hands." Most people thinks that makes them not liable...but that's not true. Ebay/Paypal will make you refund every penny.

Answer 5

Lower the price.

Answer 6

Lower the price by about a hundred dollars.

Answer 7

X Boxes Suck! No body likes them and on ebay ppl will think it is a rip off.

Answer 8

Lower your price.

Answer 9

People are cheap. I would suggest you do a yardsale or flea market.

Answer 10

I would make sure your computer is working. Throw it out of the window and plug it in again, if you can't see this message it isn't working.
