I agree, you can edit the listings within each policy, but the goal is to get each listing into the correct policy as quickly as possible.
Yes, there are no time limits, but until you do all the work, you have a plethora of policies and cannot make quick changes for travel etc. Once shipping policies are turned on, you can only change your handling time through each policy.
When I converted to shipping policies, I did most of my editing from the Business policies page (modifying and combining policies), when in fact I think it would have been easier to create the few appropriate policies and bulk edit (by category to make it manageable) each listing into one of the new shipping policies.
Since Ebay says it’s all in or none, into the Business Shipping Policies, my method reduces the Choas time between enabling shipping polices and it actually being set up the way you want them. By creating the 5 additional store categories, you are actually dividing you store into shipping polices, without actually turning on the shipping policies yet.
Of course once it’s done, you can just delete the five new store categories, as they’ve served their purpose and are no longer needed.
Maybe I’m Complicating the situation, but there’s not a whole lot of guidance in this area and Ebay’s “helper” program isn’t really efficient.
Thanks for the input.
Ephemera is basically history.. fun to work with and easy to store and ship..
Very Cool.
Happiness is finding a niche.
List it for sure.. Without seeing it it’s tough to say a price, but generally between $20 and $60 depending on details condition etc. Period stuff always sell.
I sold a worn out WW2 recruiting pamphlet that unfolded into a poster. It was pretty worn out and had a stamp dated 1942, from a politician’s office in Northern California. I think I got $35 or $40 for it and it went to Northern California.
You’ve been doing fine so far, just follow your instincts.

Of course you need to find a nice professional way to tell them this.
I wouldn’t get involved with the Post Office in this situation.
Good Luck.

But buying a $2 ticket (just one) and waiting for the results can be so much fun….
Cool.. Thanks

The guy who found the “Billy the Kid” tin type at the thrift store spent about 5 years and a bunch of money getting it verified. Yes, in the end it’s worth it, but are you (or me) willing to invest all kinds of time and money trying to get an item verified that turns out to have little value.
PBS had a program in which a collector bought a painting for about $22,000. For me that would be a huge gamble, but evidently he had some wealth. Again after years of research it was established that the painting was a Devinci, that had been removed from a book. They actually located the book and matched it up.
Both these individuals were being followed (and assisted) by TV crews. When a TV crew shows up at an expert’s door and asks his assistance in verifying an artifact, the doors tend to get opened. many experts were consulted.
The “Billy the Kid” was estimated to be worth $5,000,000 and the guy with the Devinci had just turned down and offer of $80,000,000 before the show aired. Yes that’s 5 Million and 80 Million dollars.
These stories are fun to read about and yes, they keep us on the chase. In the end we create our own luck. By the way The Mega Millions lottery is over $375 million dollars for tonight.
Have you bought your ticket?
Can you buy multiple items with the discount ?
Thanks
What a perfect car to turn into a little racer… You could have the first “Fast and the Furious” scavenger mobile.. Get some Recaro seats and fancy wheels.. watch out.
By the way, there’s a good chance you’ll get another 100K miles out of it. Those cars just go and go and go.

People have been known to leave wallets, cell phones and purses on the roof and drive away. It happens all the time.
The devil is in the details. As a rule, solds are the barometer. Asking prices don’t mean too much to me. Clarity asked all the right questions and they all affect price.
I had a first edition first print Breakfast and Tiffany’s (no dust jacket and some wear issues). The comps were all over the place. I was happy to accept an offer of $200 plus shipping.
The dust jacket made a big difference on price. I ended up selling to a guy who had the dust jacket and no book. He actually offered to sell me the dust jacket at first.
I had four books in German signed by Oskar Maria Graf. There really are no comps for signed copies, even on Ebay.DE. I’ve sold two so far to someone in Germany and he’ll probably get the other two from me eventually. I suspect he’s reselling them over there and making a pretty penny.
I’m Ok with not getting top dollar.
I’d price it high with best offer and let the buyers (and offers) come to you.
Yes a great vehicle. People are keeping those for years and literally putting hundreds of thousands of miles on them. You scored with that car.
I agree on the Tetris skills. I’ve come home from the auction with my car filled top to bottom. You look at the stuff on the sidewalk and then at your car. There’s no way this is all going to fit. The next thing you know there’s stuff on the floor and the passenger seat and you can barely see out the passenger window, but you’re rolling…. with a big smile on your face.
Life is good.
If you buy one with wheels and don’t use them. you can sell the wheels. It’s a nice way to offset the cost. Sometimes I wait until I’ve accumulated wheels and sell them as a lot.
Organized storage is a must.
Yes.. the books are a grind, but they do sell..
