Ebay Experts...... Sell one by one or as a collection??

[deletetacount123]

I was just looking at some things I want to list on ebay after work.
Since im used to listing only books and movies, Im not used to selling items such as figurines.

Would a listing get sold better if I did it one by one? Or sell as a group??

I used to think one by one was better so your not buying something you already have and just needed that 1 or 2 you didn't have.

This $$$ will go to my fund to move lol Im doing a good job of saving money by the way :)

I've occasionally sold items on eBay, such as comic books, etc. which can be sold the same way you're considering... individually or as a collection. When I'm looking to buy, I'm usually interested in the individual item I'm missing. Only once in a great while do I look for entire collections of items. Besides, you could get more money for your items individually.

My advise is to sell one at a time... it would also be easier for shipping and the items are less likely to be damaged by the shipping company. I know that shipping companies are NOT careful about handling packages in transit, as my husband temped for UPS one holiday for some extra $$. The stories he told me of how packages are handled would make you want to buy shipping insurance forever -- it's that bad! The Postal Service is even worse.

Just putting in my :2cents: . I've been using eBay for many years & have 100% feedback :bigrin:

Congrats on being a successful saver -- that's quite an accomplishment these days! :cool:

Generally, the more desirable pieces are sold one by one, the 'junk' (relatively speaking) is gathered into lots. Good luck!

mostly 1 by 1 Tash.. unless it is an item wich is for instance part of a pair an so the value is less if ya only have 1 up for auction... ie staffordshire dogs o such like.

Good points everyone thanks.

I will list them 1 by 1 unless they are a pair and go together.
