Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

need some help please.



I need some help. I'm pretty new to selling things on ebay. I listed a card that I think is pretty rare. I have only seen maybe 2 or 3 put on ebay (although I haven't searched for it a lot). But about 12 hours after I listed it, I get this e-mail from somebody asking if his price is right will I end the auction early. Now I have only sold about 14 things so far and have received all positive feedback for these listings. But I am afraid that with my low feedback as a seller I wouldn't be able to get as much for the card as if I had more feedback. I guess my question is would you end the auction early to get the price you want for the card?

    if you are comfortable with the price and you have a willing buyer, it's your item.

    what is your ID and what are you selling?


    Thanks,

    It's your item, and you can do what you want with it.

    BUT, halting auctions is NOT a good habit to get into.
    It makes legitimate - potential repeat - customers VERY
    angry.

    IF you want to be an auction-peddler you've got to let things
    ride, even when it feels spookey. SNIPES account for
    a tremendous percentage of business in cards.

    When I do auctions, I set the opening bid at the least
    amount I will be satisfied with, OR I use a reserve.
