RE: eBay Experiences?
arrowsmit - When the auction is over, contact the high bidder and first thank him for the high bid. Ask what his/her method of payment will be and to please have them email you their mailing address so you can have the item and packaged to mail. Upon reciept of payment, and after mailing the item, send an email and tell them its on its way.
I have sold like 105 items. I got burned once buying a $10 CD (item was never shipped and EBAY did nothing) and I had a guy send a bow back to me once. I refunded his money minus the shipping costs. People are normally pretty good on EBAY auctions - gotta wattch out for the occassional freak though.
PS - Personally, I neveer bid on reserve auctions unless the reserve is stated on the item description. The Brackenbury on EBAY is mine - I paid $450 for it and started the bidding at $1.00 with no reserve. Risky ? Yes, but I have found more people bid on a non-reserve auction. Glad to hear you got your target price though .... just a tip.
