thebrig Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm having a clear out, and I am about to list a load of effects pedals. Now it's probably me, but the way I read the charges it just wouldn't be worthwhile, here's what it states: [b]You will be charged £7 per item, or £20 for unlimited items for a year on items over £50[/b]. I really wanted to pay the annual fee of £20, but does that mean I will be charged an extra £7 to list each pedal, because all but one will be under £50? And if I decide to go the £7 per item route, it just wouldn't be worthwhile, as I intend to list them low in the hope that they sell, and that people will get something for a reasonable price, but some are as low as £15, so if I take £3 off for postage and £7 for the listing, that means I end up with just a fiver. Ideally, I would like to list them separately so I can include all the necessary info, so would I be better off putting them on eBay where most weeks they offer free listings, or should I pay a one-off fee of £7, and price them all separately in the one very long listing on here?

Roland Rock Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Anything under £50 is free to list - list all your sub £50 pedals separately if you like as it will cost the grand total of sod all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 As Roland said anything under £50 is free. If you want to sell an item that is over and above £50, then you have a choice: either pay £7 to advertise it, or splash out £20 which means you can then advertise that item and any others that are over £50, for a whole year. It's a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tried to list the first item which was £45, a notice kept flashing up saying [b]You will be charged £7 per item, or £20 for unlimited items for a year on items over £50[/b], it didn't say anything about items a under £50 are free, so I didn't list it. I agree that £20 is a bargain, thats the option I normally take whenever need to shift a bass or two to make way for another incoming beauty!

thebrig Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm trying again to list a pedal which I'm putting up for sale at £45, but each time I click on Post New Topic, a message says, [b]Please enter a Price[/b], it kept doing this last night when I tried to list it. I have definitely entered a price in the box, but if I hover over the price box, I keep getting the same message as before, [b]You will be charged £7 per item, or £20 for unlimited items for a year on items over £50[/b], what am I doing wrong?

thebrig Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 I've just brought up the saved content to do a screenshot, which is exactly what I tried last night at least a dozen times, and again today a few times, and it's listed straight away. It's a mystery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 No, it's because I've just posted a bagful of magic influence. No need to thank me; I should have done it sooner. T'Interweb needs a healthy dose of magic to run smoothly. I tried prayer, but find it much less effective than magic. 25 lb sledges help, too, especially with Macs. Glas it's fixed, anyhow; well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Make sure you enter only the NUMBER, without a £ sign... does that work? I vaguely recall some issue with that, namely you need to enter a numeric value and nothing else Edited October 3, 2016 by mcnach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
