personally I dislike reserves for a different reason. Ebay charges additional fees to the seller to do that, or they used to so as a seller I dont like it and as a buyer I generally dont like reserves as they are just a marketing gimick, advertise 0.01 as the price but really the price is much higher. Its a personal preference, but when I sold stuff as my main income on ebay I found that others appear to share in that because I got way more bids by putting a reasonable price as the starting bid with no reserve, I also only did buy it now (I was moving hundreds of the same items, mostly mp3 players, so buy it now worked best for that set up). I also found that even though this means higher fees for me as a seller, I would make my price all inclusive with no additional shipping because I was selling to europe and generally speaking at that time most people would pay more for an all inclusive item and not leave negative feedback for "excessive shipping costs" even though my competition on the same items had a total lower price. So know the culture you are selling to is another tip :) I provide this info for others that are selling on ebay, not just of my personal preference, but also of my experience selling there (granted it was years ago who knows maybe the client base changed its attitude a bit). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
