is it free shipping or $20 for shipping? and you're supposed to place a starting bid of how much you wanted up to 499 without being charged a fee when you post the product. Once a person bids on your item you can no longer change the starting bid
Since you are new you can only place a starting bid, not a GIN aka Get it now. You'll have to have a few auctions with positive feedback before they will give you the option. You'll receive badges that will also allow you to do a GIN. Make sure you verify your address and your facebook or twitter account. The more verification you have the more people will be willing to bid on your auctions. Listia can be a lot of fun if you understand how it works. Basically you list an item and people bid with credits instead of money. Items can go for over a million credits or for as little as one. To become a trusted seller and have more fans which means more people bidding and watching your auctions, always send the item no matter how many credits they go for. Always try to offer free shipping for items. A lot of people won't bid if they have to pay. When you ship an item make sure that it is safe and secure. I always use the bubble envelopes because the Post Office treats them differently than regular envelopes. A regular envelope is sent down a conveyor belt through a machine at a high rate of speed that is only thick enough for a few envelopes to pass through. I have won plenty of items where the seller didn't package the item correctly and it was forced out of the envelope and lost. I hope I have helped you get a somewhat better understanding of how this works. If you have any questions you can private message me.
