Ag Ebay market

**Ds9jullian** · March 12th, 2006, 07:39 PM

Is it me or has the market for dolls on ebay taken a slump. I have two Sams and Sams bed on Ebay at the moment, BIN they have been up for nearly three days. I expected them to go quick. They are both beautiful dolls. I just can't keep them, I would love too but it is not an option at the moment.

I've noticed this, too. I want to start selling some things and haven't just because I don't think they will sell for what I paid for them.

I think thigs were so crazy for a few weeks that now people are starting to get the credit card bills in and are taking a break.

Maybe with free shipping alot of people have gone AG direct this month??? Just a thought. Pretty stuff tho Ashley .. Good luck with your auctions.. some one may come along and snap them up tomorrow.. alot of people are just busy on the weekends [img]smile.gif[/img]

I know what you mean. This type of thing is bad for the sellers, but good for the buyers because the prices of items don't get too crazy. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I'd like to think that most people seach eBay on Sun. afternoons so that's wene I set most of my eBay acutions to end. Your eBay items seem to be BIN though, so someone might just come along and buy something now! good luck!

You're problem might be the shipping calculator.

I just looked at the first Samantha, and when I used the shipping calculator, Priority shipping came up at $21.80.........that added to the BIN price is more than what I'd have to pay for a new doll with the free shipping.
You might just want to put in a flat rate for shipping. I've found that I can ship an AG doll, Priority, with insurance, for an average of $12, anywhere in the US.

Shipping for one outfit should be $4.05 for USPS Priority plus add $.50 for delivery confirmation. I usually charge a flat rate of $10 to $12 for a doll.

ETA: I don't mean to say that you are overcharging on your shipping, Ashley. Maybe the shipping calculator is off. Only you know what you pay in packing materials, gas to the post office, etc. I never use the shipping calculator because I've had to refund my buyers a couple of times for overcharging.
