With my eBay Listing...
In 7 days time, I was able to get 39 bids to $410...yet I see others selling the same item for a shorter amount of time and a higher starting price to make more money. Should I start mine off at a higher price and resell or just wait to see how these last 3 days turn out for me?

Most of the bids come in at the last few seconds. I'd keep it up there.

Aight, thanks. I dunno if an item with 59 bids will deter buyers or not.

It won't. Most people won't even bid until the item is about to end.

^That when I was bidding on my tablet the price jumped 100$ in about 3 minutes. Lol
People tend not to bid until it's just about over then get in crazy bid wars. Lol

eBay is an addiction. People who are there, are interested in winning, a lot of times, you see items you can buy at the Dollar Store(i.e. Dollar Tree) which will sell for $1 in person, will sell for $14 with free shipping.

People see free shipping, they think they're getting a steal.

It's all in how you present it. But again, if you want something to go hella higher than normal, free shipping is a must.

Key to eBay success.

How does their sell page look? It's all about the shiny, and the professionalism.
