Being a new seller is so awful. Did you do low starting price auctions?

nice.

Yeah really happy. As far as US Genny games go I really only want to get Fire Shark and Grindstormer now.

yeah have all 3 set at $.99 starting.
I don't think I've played fire shark I may have played grindstormer.

Yeah those should def have bids by now I'd think. Though if you set shipping to priority, people typically don't want to bother on lower value games. Also that works out worse for you as well because of the way Ebay does their fees. Selling a game for say $5 + $2.60 shipping (first class in a mailer) nets $4.01 or so compared to $5 + $6 shipping netting $3.57. It's the kind of thing that does add up over time, but more importantly buyers just don't want to pay $6 shipping on a $6 game.

Grindstormer is really pricey now, so it will be some time before I can get it.

I'm already taking a bit of a loss on shipping by offering "discounted" shipping. charging $3.20 instead of full price at $6.40 on small packages.

I've got 4 days left on my auctions and like a 20 or so days left on a lot that I set a buy it now/best offer if the auctions fail I'll revise and relist them.

Yeah you need to get mailers if you plan to sell much on Ebay so you can ship games via first class mail. It saves lots of money. Of course, you don't want to pay for mailers either of course. I end up with a lot because I receive a lot of package as well.

Lately I've been avoiding Ebay for video games (still selling other crap there) and have been moving video game stuff almost exclusively via forums.

You'd THINK someone would buy the ones at a dollar plus shipping but be advised that you will almost see no money for that after the fees are billed. In fact you will lose money if you have to ship them priority and are only charging $3.20.
