Congratulations on your first sales, hope that there will be many more. The trouble with cookery books is that in the run-up to Christmas all the celebrity chefs will be busy promoting their latest...

Hello, another collector here, but unfortunately I need to free up some space, so they will have to go. I've only got a few listed at present, but I plan to be adding some more as I can. In my...

Ebay in their normal 'if it ain't broke, break it' mode have got rid of all the classic car part (by make) categories so it is now almost impossible to actually find anything, for example look for...

If you can buy books at £75 per tonne, and you have enough stock to sell at least 100 per week, and you have the sort of account on other sites which give you negligible fees if you sell books at a...

Hello magpie and welcome; I too think that I know you from Another Place. My only advice would be to get listing as soon as you can, Ebid does differ from other sites and the only way you can really...

I think that some parts of the book market are still doing well. Specialist non-fiction books such as those on local history sell fairly easily, and although I know little about antiquarian books,...

Remember that the car manufactures don't make the components themselves but buy them in from equally reputable companies. When I had Saabs, I could buy the electrical components from the local Bosch...

Possibly, but at least the search isn't manipulated to push the largest sellers to the top, so there is still a good chance of finding what you want.

Ebay has left a gap in the market by abandoning the small-scale sellers of interesting collectibles, so it is encouraging to see so many saying that they are increasing their listings here. Now that...

The Raleigh Runabouts were Mobylettes made under licence and were very reliable, the Wisp was effectively a beefed-up RSW cycle with a motor added and was very unreliable. At about that time I had an...

You're lucky, I am sure that I will never finish the pile of books I have put on one side to read and then sell on Ebid before I pop my clogs. and I'm not that old really.

At present I cannot see a category for books where the illustrations or illustrator are the main appeal as opposed to the text, which appeal to a lot of collectors.

I suggest that a category:
...

I don't think that at present Ebid is big enough to be all things to all people, so perhaps we should start by concentrating on one or two categories and when they have built up start picking the...

Would it be a good idea to put 'pulp' or 'pulp fiction' as keywords in the title. I know there could be confusion with the book of the same name, but is that a risk worth taking?

It is quite easy. If you are a large scale seller you pay a flat fee of £28 per month and no fixed fee per sale, so the fees per book sold are negligible. Post over 5,000 books per year and postage...

These surveys are a complete waste of time. The only people that they take the slightest bit of notice of are the investors. Post instead on the Wall St blogs that they read, Seekingalpha is a good...

I would prefer 'inclusive' to remain; buyers can understand that just as easily and it avoids association with the 'free' fiasco elsewhere.

The real objection to the 'free' p&p on the other site is that it is misleading to buyers in that the p&p is not really free but is included in the price of the book. Also the starting price has to...

Book bargains are now a separate section in my main shop 'Leapingcat Books' so they are now even easier to find, and a few more have been added.

I can't speak of course for any individual member, but the people who look at the car listings are enthusiasts and not the sort of people who buy a new car every three years and get it serviced at a...

More auctions are being added, now with opening bids from only 99p to £1.99 so even more bargains available:

Addall are the best bet for finding if any antiquarian book is for sale, in what quantities and at what prices. Here is the link for your bible:

Now that most book auctions are no longer viable on another well-known site and in fact only 4% of the books listed there are auctions, I have opened a store just for book auctions. All auctions...

Even better you can offer items at an 'inclusive' rate without being out of pocket; all of my magazines are now at a p&p inclusive rate. On average it only costs me 3p, with no extra listing fees or...

Hello Bill and welcome. There are positive reasons as well as negative ones (ie fed up with Ebay) for joining Ebid and the main one is that the low fees and the stores feature enable you to pass on...

It gets worse. I removed my number plate completely and it still caught me in Cornwall !

Be careful if you are buying a new car next year. A few '60' reg (next April) cars have already been caught, so I would do a full check before you take delivery.

Very true, especially the bit about bestsellers; they sell because they are the latest thing, by the time the first owner passes them on they are usually worthless.
The only non-myth (?) is that a...

First of all remember that he is a columnist not a proper journalist, so his views are pretty meaningless. He has got it wrong in both the things he sees wrong and right about Ebay, Paypal is...

Ebay have announced that from October all media sellers, which effectively means books, must offer 'free' p&p as their first choice. Of course there is no such thing as free p&p, it will be added on...
