Try not to set a reserve for your items, as people typically do not like reserves. Reserves are usually set for high value items such as jewelry, cars, etc. Set an auction beginning for .99 cents, and 7 days. It will not stay at only 99 cents or $3, trust me. I have sold many valuable things at a good price such as TV s, video game consoles, i pods, etc with the bid starting at 99 cents. Also, list your items on sunday evening as this is the time when a lot of people are on ebay. Many people also tend to bid at the last minute, so don t be discouraged when the price of your auction is low 4 days into it. If the time of the auction is ending very soon and the price is way below what you want for it, ask a friend or family member to bid the least amount acceptable you will take for the item.(even though this is against ebay rules, they won t find out..and if your friend does win the auction just cancel the transaction so you don t have to pay ebay seller fees)Shipping is weird sometimes. People offer free shipping for stuff and that usually results in higher bids, as people like free shipping. Try using USPS flat rate shipping boxes. They have affordable flat rates for items up to a certain weight limit, and the boxes are free from your local P.O, or online.
