If you want to combine shipping for multiple weeks...DO NOT PAY until you are ready for shipment. Delayed payments for this purpose WILL NOT lead to negative feedback.AUCTION PROCEEDURES...All of my scheduled auctions end on Sunday evenings. Each 5-minute interval will contain several auctions (usually 6-12 items). Mistakes in auction scheduling do occur from time to time, but the expected scheduling of items will be from 8:00 until 8:10 PM (Eastern Time).PAYMENT via PAYPAL ONLY. eBay's rule, not mine.WHY do I no longer start all items at a penny anymore?Reason #1 - Due to declining stocks of particular items I began using Reserve Prices. After a few messages from customers expressing irritation to the unknown Reserve Price, 1 suggested I just use a minimum bid...so I listenedReason #2 - While shopping on eBay myself, I noticed a feeling that items priced too low lacked legitimacy. My thinking while shopping was "how can an AUTHENTIC item worth $75 be listed for under a $1?" So I expanded the minimum bid to all items to reduce that perception for others.Note that MOST items I offer on eBay have a starting price of around 90% OFF the retail price. read more
