selling on ebay

Hi guys,
having a bit o trouble listing items for sale on ebay.

i have a load of fiberglass rolls to list for sale so i dont want the add to go down once the items sold because i have more than one.

how do i list it for more than 10 days?

biggest problem im having is to do with shipping. it asks me for my zip code but we dont have them afaik.

also do ebay calculate shipping cost automatically? when i was trying to list it it was asking me for shipping costs but how am i gonna know where the buyer buying from?

the rolls are 40kg a peice and i need to list them for international shipping.

does ebay calculate shipping for each individual user location? or how does it work

i know shipping 40kg in a box 1.6m x .25m x.25m isnt going to be cheap but the product is substantially cheaper than anything else on ebay

thanks
Cole

To do more than 10 days you have to do a "BUY IT NOW" and not an auction. There is also an option to enter how many you have for sale, Then when someone buys one your ad will still be up for the remaining units.

You need to calculate the shipping yourself. Use ebay.ie instead of ebay.com
The Zip code wont matter, just put in 1 or default if you dont have one.

Shipping is going to cost you a fortune, how much do they sell for on ebay, the only price you should look at is the price including shipping.

Max an post do is 20kg, this is €288.27 within the EU. Also remember to include packing material in your actual weight.

Couriers should be cheaper, but I imagine it will still be far too much.

I would imagine you would be better selling on adverts.

im about €300-400 cheaper for the same quality product. it costs me around 350 to import 5x from China

Use the Pallet Network. www.tpn.ie

40kg nationwide around €35
40kg UK around €75
40kg Germany around €150

They provide tracking number and delivery to UK is normally no more than 4 working days .
