eBay Bidding

Anonymous

Do all people wait till the last days / minutes before bidding?

I've had nothing but 1 watcher and 40 views and its only 3 days left 😞

I'm a first time eBayer trying to sell my customised iPhone 5S....

Of course they do - They all wait for the last seconds as they want to buy it for as little as possible wink

Sometimes I buy outright and on other occasions I watch an item to see if I can snatch the item for a good price.

Makes me smile when my higher bid is outbid within seconds.

Be very wary if you get a buyer.

The amount of bad stories of a buyer raising a dispute to get the funds back. 😞

I sell loads of phones on ebay and there is no point listing them for any longer than 3 days - People mostly look at phones from a "ending soonest" view, rather than "newly listed" so you won't get many watchers until the last few days.......

Of course with yours been heavily customised it will have to appeal to a smaller audience than a standard one though 😞

Additionally, I've never had any bother at all.
I always list entirely honestly and make a point of saying in the listing that I record the IMEI numbers for buyer and seller protection (this prevents them from switching phones on you).
I also photograph them working and showing a network connection etc - You've got to think like a thief to protect yourselves from the thieves 😞
