is it a good idea to post run until sold?

[TiasTreasures]

Apart from anything else, I like to think my prices are sufficiently keen they will rise up the pile when buyers sort by price

This is a very good point. That's the sort I use immediately when I'm looking for something online and get a large number of results. And I skip the auctions. If I want something enough to search for it, I rarely want to wait for an auction to end.

I never even thought about that. A very good point indeed!

I just did one and it worked fine.

Make sure you have no time left running by erasing the hrs mins secs then put your auto relist to zero then you need to tick the 'run til sold' button (or a dot actually) and then scroll down and click the save changes button.

Does "start first bid",,,,,,how do they show up in searches?? How far up the list do they place in a search is it the same as RUS????

First bid is behind RUS untill it gets a bid , me being on the lazy side made the mistake of using it when i first started.

Thank You so Much for the response it is appreciated....I liked the idea due to once someone bid they only had to wait like 3 days for it to end instead of having to wait 7 days....But sound like i need to change the ones i have like that.....i was not being lazy just figured that some would like that option...guess then i will run them 3 days with 10 relists as that will be better in the search i hope..

There are different schools of thought about this, some like it, some don't. I belong to the former group; most of my items are RUS and I don't believe it has hurt my sales a bit. IMHO, more important than auction or RUS listing is the type of item listed and the item's uniqueness, condition, etc. and of course the item cost.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Very that was a very good point about RUS - people searching by price will still find them !
