Today we tackled ebay

We set out to auction a lamp shade on eBay.  We were given the shade but really could not get on with it. Our group members were enthusiastic to use eBay.
Lets see if anyone bites. 

How we did it

1. We logged in an existing eBay account (but discussed setting up a new one).
2. We took some pictures on a tablet
3. Using Google Photos we copied the picture across to a PC and cropped the image to make it nice and clear
4. We then prepared our eBay listing. and added a decent description and set up a 7 day auction
5. We discussed tips for using eBay

It was a lot of fun especially for a small group and our group was keen to see the outcome the following week.

eBay is great for buying and selling and millions of people agree, and the queues at our local post office confirm. However, many just give up when selling after an initial poor experience as they do not appreciate that they may be selling something at the wrong time. Take on the tips that eBay offer for successful buying and selling.

• Avoid reserve prices if possible
• Post lots of pictures of what you are selling and give a good description
• Make sure that you list with the right keywords and categories.
• Be prepared to offer free posting
• Be ready to respond to buyer questions promptly.
• Don't worry if you have to re-list your item.
