i thought you had to pay the 2% for gallery ??????? i am stuck on gold and have no idea what i can and can`t use

Yes you do have to pay the 2% gallery fvf, but only when it sells.

Don't know if this has been added or not, but I believe that descriptions with details, examples and at least 300 words will help with getting onto the google search engines.

but I just can't be bothered to read a 300 word item description let alone write one! <grin>

hi Book sellers , am I wrong to think it seems silly to list a book at 50 pence then ask for £2 or what ever ... as postage is a lot higher than the price of the book....some books are really heavy but do potential buyers think of this ???
sorry if this is in the wrong place....Papa.

I would suggest you chek out the prices of packet post, that is about what it cost to send things now.

That's why I mention in my auctions that local pickup is welcome. Saves the buyers a huge amount.

But when will eBid provide searches based on postcode? Is this never discussed? Am I the only person that sees this as really really important?

Love that animated bump!

Was that a bump because you're also desperate to see postcode/distance searches on the site? I hope it was.

Would be useful for Job Lots.

Would be useful for Job Lots.

Would be useful for anything? Especially anything heavy. And the cost of posting a book these days can be outrageous.

Has there been any discussion of postcode/distance searches on the site? I realise this can be expensive, buying lists of postcodes, but there are free open source efforts that might be relevant. I've no special knowledge, but the guys at openstreetmap.org could probably point Gazza/Mark the right direction.

"If you're a gold or platinum member, open a shop.
First is free for Gold, up to 5 free for platinum"

How does one determine gold or platinum? I paid for 90 days and opened a shop, thinking it was covered. Am I missing something?
