Hey Ms. Sally, thanks for the note! That made my day! I get SO much help from you all and finally I was able to return the favor. Great listings, I checked out both of them. Please keep me posted on your success. I would love to know when they sell.

I thought it was the buyer that was not looking for shipping options but it seems that EBAY does not allow them to SEE the options on the Ebay app!!!
I looked at my own items on the app and the shipping option link is not there! So what is the point of offering options if the buyer cannot even see them?
You are welcome Elle. And I am with you. I sold 6 items this week on auction all for about the starting bid and all for what I would have listed them in Buy It Now. Good solid prices. Just maximizing on the available free listings as much as possible. I have about 200 to go to get to 1000 buy it now listings and currently I have 100+ in auction (which are over and above the 1000, as already stated).
And I might just do the switch earlier at 3000 items rather than 3400 because I would love to have the Anchor support and 600.00 a year in free shipping supplies, and 100.00 a year in promotional rebates/coupons. But that is way in the future…

Again, just to make sure it is very clear to anyone that reads this post, this blog is not about religion so I am not here to defend my personal choices or convince anyone that my way is best. I only wanted to make the point (above) that this blog is not the right place to disparage other religious beliefs. But I am always very happy to talk about my personal experiences, when asked.
Jay, to answer your question, most churches have some kind of donation system set up (titches, pew rentals, religious ceremonies, etc.) and in my Church it is set up based on the services you wish to take. So you only donate to what you want to based on the service you want. There are MANY low cost self improvement courses, books can be purchased on line (Amazon, Ebay) and you can learn how to be a counselor yourself if you want to exchange counseling services with another parishioner. And of course you can always choose to donate above and beyond, as you would in any Church, for special projects like the printing and distribution of drug education booklets or the distribution of Human Rights booklets or new building purchase and so on.
Everyone has a right to believe what they believe. You don’t have to agree with everyone. My advise is just be kind and be curious.
Katie Scott, I am not mad or upset about your comment, just wanted to say, I also grew up as a Scientologist and still am — on my own determinism. This forum is not about politics or religion — it is about Ebay — and we are all deserving fair treatment without prejudices. That is what America is all about.
I think the make break point for a premium store is about 3400 items (1000 free + 2400 at 10 cents a listing), which would cost the same as anchor store ($300.00). At 3400 items it would make sense to upgrade because you also get 150.00 in free shipping supplies and 25.00 promotion fee coupon.
Awesome! Thank you MyCottage, to the rescue once again!
Anyone want to give their opinion about my listing?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/163049653548
This is a magazine published in the UK and I saw no other examples of it. I was not sure how best to list it.
Your invaluable advise and opinions are greatly appreciated.
Hey Joe! Thanks for the tip! Yes, and if I have room in the box I throw in free mags that I don’t think are worth much and I don’t want to list so my buyer gets a bonus and everyone is very happy.
I keep close watch on my auction listings and bulk relist as auctions expire. They all collect in the ended items so I don’t have to hunt them down. So far so good. I have not lost listings as far as I can tell and have sold items regularly on auction at my “buy it now price” that I wanted.
Last week sold about 200.00 in mags (5 listings all to the same fellow), today sold two blouses at $99.00 and at 75.00 (free shipping) on auction to two different people. The mags went for more than I expected (sold at opening bid). I half thought that I would have to lower the price and in the end it worked out well. And I got the mags for free. Plus I have more of them listed. I have sold other mags that way and made good money on them (15.95 each and I think I sold about 10 that way).
Someone on the forum said once that auctions give people a sense of urgency. I can see how it might do that. Ebay will send a reminder when auctions are about to end, I believe, so you get free promotion.
But as I said above, they are free to list and I have almost 1000 items so I am saving those for my long tail items, which I do list and forget about. And I price my auctions at my buy it now price.
Great Sonia, good luck and hope to hear how it went.
One more tip: for free auctions, list under (or similar):
Collectibles > Paper > Newspapers > 1970-Now
Otherwise it might cost to list.

My two cents, and I am just shooting in the dark, is that it looks like someone repurposed an item to solve a problem they were dealing with. Something clever that only they know what it was for. Some people like to invent tools and especially if this is old and specialty tools were not available.
I too listed cloths at auction with a starting price that I would have put for the buy it now. And I too did it because I have the 500 free actions. (Just remember that it is 500 auctions, not 500 items. Every re-listing is a new auction so in reality it is about 150 items a month if my math is correct.)
So far sold two items in auction and one is being bid on so price has gone up. The other one has 4 people watching and a day or say left on auction.
I also do this with my magazines and so far sold several bundles at my starting bid which would have been my buy it now price.
And it might just be psychological but it feels like there is more action in my store when I do it that way.
Would love to know how it works out for you.
I agree and this was a lesson learned. I will hold on to them for the long tail and if no go within a year or so, they will be discounted and sold.
