Ebay - how to sell one item every 3 minutes.

[Colin_S]

I'm after a couple of cheapish MP3 players for the kids and have been searching Ebay when I found this seller. He sells the same item from early morning to about 1am with no reserve at 3 minute intervals and they all sell. Timing to buy one seems to be important as they were selling at an average of £13 last night but about £9 a while ago. Click on this link and then view sellers other items to see what I mean.

Looks like a nice little mail order business.

Disclaimer - I'm not in any way connected with this (wish I was!) just thought some of you may find it interesting. If you do decide to bid - check the post and insurance which adds £14 to the price.

Almost certainly shipped direct from the Far East - I have bought loads of stuff from eBay from these sort of sellers. Most times the sellers have been very professional and responsive in the event of problems and the kit is excellent value for money

how much of this stuff is counterfeit, and if it works, does it matter?

 

[BrendanS]

why counterfeit? they just make and sell cheap. nothing dodgy about it.

Timing is hugely important. I normally do all my music shopping on ebay when England play football, I reckon I am up against a reduced competition of about %50 rival bidders.

Hmmm. It says it's playing "Barbie Girl" by Aqua. I think I'd want them to pay me to take over ownership of a hazardous substance like that...............

Re: Ebay - how does the Taxman deal with this

Anyone know how these UK based ebay wizards deal with the tax man &/or VAT man. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
