Re: ebay question.

If you have no bids you can revise your item. On your listing below the shipping info you should see a link to revise your item. Click on this and ebay will pretty much walk you through it from there. I have done it a few times and its not hard at all.<br />--------------<br />Flathead

Just let your item ride... if it doesn't sell you can relist for free, lower your opening bid then...who knows , might get it at the last minute as this is when the bidding occurs anyway.

Re: ebay question.

If you don't get any bids on the tool pouch, list it in another classification and call it a "Biker Momma's Purse" and raise the original asking price. It might go quick !!! :D ...Bob in Calif...

Ryan, Dmessy is right about relisting but it is only free if the item sells, if it does not sell after you relist you will be charged another relisting fee. <br /><br />-----------<br />Flathead

Re: ebay question.

There is no fee only if it sells the second time. That is a correct statement. I would recommend a starting price of $5.00 for that item, not because it is worth that little, but because as you receive bids, it will catch more attention, and will probably sell for more than you initially would have placed as your starting bid. A high, or even normal starting bid sometimes has a way of negating placement of any bid at all. In many minds, the thought process goes like this: <br /><br />Well, even though this seems to be a fair price, no one has bid, so there must be something wrong with it, or it really isn't worth this price...<br /><br />The downside to this is that you may very well end up selling the item for too low of price...It's all a big gamble anyway on ebay.
