Re: eBay.
Ebay is great fun. I've bought some really interesting things on there and had some real bargains. I did once manage to sell something at a loss because I forgot to put a reserve and the postage came to more than my estimate! Fortunately I didn' lose much and we learn from our mistakes.
It's a fact that regulars are wary of buying from newbies with zero feedback because thre have been too many con artists who take your money and then run, the next thing you know "this person is no longer a registered member" but you can bet your boots they have registered again under another name to do exactly the same thing. There are also people who offer "bargains" until you check out the exhorbitant postage rates. It's a bit like the people who set up near markets and sell "out of a suitcase" - caveat emptor. However, most people are genuine and once you get some positive feedback you'll be well away.
Now, what are you selling Rindy? Can you give us the link so we can come over and have a butchers?
