Selling on eBay

[Tom Hale]

Errr I just recycle stuff from my eBay purchases! You can use tissue/bog roll  to pad the box out (imobalise them snotty can rattle around and break) box, hell Gw unit boxes reinforced with some cardboard or a shoe box or something should do.

Now what's the bet way to package models I'm selling? I'm currently selling large-ish models like chariots and groups of a few models at a time, there any cheap box-sized things sold on the cheap?

Buy cheap bubble wrap from here

and then you will be fine, remember that if any figures turn up broken etc, the buyer can now complain to Paypal (if they used it ) and get their money back AND keep the figures, so dont do a crap job on the good stuff when wrapping...

Cheers, got some (for slightly more) down the shops...

And so begins the arduous process of posting off my £200 of sales from the last week. Already had someone send me a "where's my army book" message from the stuff I posted a week ago, hope that's not a sign of things to come...

True story: I had a buyer complain to me and file a report against me with Paypal, on the same day he had bought the item off me, complaining he had  not received it.
Paypal amazingly backed him and told me to give him a refund.....

[Undead Dan]

Wow, that's dumb!

I'll be doing another batch myself in a bit, if you want and have a bunch spare I can slip an OG Games card in with them next time...

Ta mate, good idea...

Some people on eBay are nuts! I put 20 Plague Monks, without the rats from the sprues onto eBay, and within one day they're up to £16. Considering the £3 P&P, that's more than they cost brand new in the shops, and they could buy them brand new from OG for £15.30 delivered.

Not that I'm complaining of course

Hmm, where as I just bought a box off a guy on TWF who was selling up to get out the hobby.

It contained
1 dreadnought
9 marines
Inquis eisenhorn
2 converted oblits (kinda junk but look ok, will fleabay them I reckon)
38 skaven slaves
WE forest dragon
skaven assassin & some other metal gutter/night runners.

64 different paints and some duplicates
stack of brushes, modelling tools, cutters, glue, green stuff, flow improver, retarder, snow base, army painter quick shade (small tin), course sand etc etc
O&G army book
how to paint miniatures book (latest version)
mordenheim rulebook

All for £60 including postage.  I reckon I can probably sell those as parts for more than that should I want.

The skaven gutter/night runners are probably closing on being worth the cost alone and will be added to my IoB rats to get painted up as i'll stealth build a skaven army whilst not even thinking about ever playing them.
