I need someone to help me sell some of my stuff on ebay. I want to sell the free digi-cam, and walkie-talkies that came from Trilligent. I have 2 sets of walkie-talkies and 2 sets of cameras. I wonna get at least or close to $20 for each set. So i need a person who sold theirs for the same amount, to help me out sell mine. I dont really sell much on ebay, so I dont really know how to design a winning auction page.

Or if no ones wants to help me, then at least tell me how to make a winning auction page. cuz the format that ebay gives you is too plain. all the words are on one side and only 1 picture.

[quote168f9b7516="idrinklisterine"]I greened on cameras4free for cdsnwboard, and he was supposed to green on phreeipods for me. But when I greened, he claimed he didn't have any money to do the offers and offered to pay me $10 instead. I told him there were many offers he could do with that $10. But after that, he never responded to a single PM I've sent him, even though I know he's gotten them since they went from my outbox to my sentbox.[/quote168f9b7516]

i think he's implying that maybe you should concentrate on keeping your end of a trade before you look for helping in selling things on ebay.

Just keep in mind that you're talking shit to a [i4f60e2c61d]mod[/i4f60e2c61d] that is pointing out that you owe people greens. You should get them taken care of before asking members for help and ignoring the problems at hand.

OK! [b1e16e70089]This stops right now![/b1e16e70089] I dont why everyone is in my business and yelling at me. The situation that is going on between me and idrinklisterine, [b1e16e70089]is BETWEEN ME AND IDRINKLISTERINE.[/size1e16e70089] Thats #1.[/b1e16e70089]

li#2, all i asked was if anyone would be so kind enough to help me sell this useless stuff that i have lying on the floor, on ebay.

#3, if you all are so interested in my business, the money that i get from the ebay auctions will go to idrinklisterine. I know that i screwed up with that trade, and i want to make it up to him.

#4, Sweeedfish, i have nothing against you and have never had problems with you. I dont know why you dislike me so much, but whatever it is, i want to overcome it. I am a good guy and no scammer. I want to get alone with everyone on this forum. I joined these forums for the reason that, it has good people, who dont play around and want to complete sites.

I don't know what your problem is, I was just answering your question, if you are going to get mad then don't ask any questions.

I never say anything about your trades, so you should not say anything about my trades.

Yes there are post about me on the scammers thing BUT they are about $10 and about me giving them green late - NOT about not ginving greens - so keep your mouth shut.

Oh yeah and I had +26 trade record - sweedish decided for -1 since i was not going to give the other guy his $10, so yeha thats why

This forum is here to facilitate trades, if you aren't fulfilling a trade then it is ALL of our business.

If you want to sell the stuff, find an auction on ebay where they are selling good and copy the format. It's as easy as that. You won't get much for the items you are selling so keep the costs down on the listing fee. No bold, no subtitles(unless they are still .01) and no double categories.

there wouldn't be a problem about it, if YOU ANSWERED his PMs, instead of ignoring him after he brought up a valid point. And no, it's not between you and him, any trades concern mods who can ban you or take away your karma.

just wanted to point out that it is against the ebay rules for you to copy someones exact auction and formatting, but the only way you can get in trouble is if the other person reports you.

Maybe because you are using HTML instead of w/e you call it


when you list on ebay you can use HTML or plain or something like that, make sure you are using NOT HTML

one more quick tip, maybe you should consider changing the auction title as well, as the other person's doesn't mention that it is only .3 megapixels in the title. Most people who would by this kind of camera, probably do not know much about cameras, however the MP system is pretty easy to figure out. By writing the MP amount in the title, you are discouraging potential bidders who just want a cheap digital camera from buying it.
