Auction Vs Buy it Now for New account

Joenice · #1 12-31-2013

Opened a new account and don't really want to get limited or ask for ID.

We sell low risk items range $10 to $80. Account has zero FB. Is it a good idea to list some buy it now for around $50 and some on auction start from one penny?

Or if I start from one penny it will raise the flag? The one penny auction usually ends selling for $70 or $80.

Items has their own pictures and I took the pics and wrote my own description.

Thanks for help! So how should I list? I have limit of 10 or $1000 per month.

Everything depends on the items you sell...you mentioned they are low risk so either Auction or BIN's will be fine.

MM78 is very correct. Based more on your business model rather then marketing strategy.
Do what ever method sells the best as eb wants success and so do you. I personally have a start price with BIN @ 30% greater price. If I sell for the start price with no auction up I am very happy person. Good luck.
