I put a saddle on ebay yesterday and had 6 watchers although no bidders as of yet,but ebay removed it because although I have been a member of ebay for a few years I don't use it that often and insisted that as I had put please do not use paypal due to their terms and conditions and having heard how they hang on to your money for quite some time with larger items basically told me I was breaching their terms and conditions. I was allowed to relist it and have done so,but now accepting paypal as a payment method as I had no choice. However since relisting the item it now has no watchers so have I scared off possible bidders? please could you look at my listing and let me know if I need to change anything about it and let me know that you can see it as I can't find it when I search through saddles???

It's annoying, some people get away with saying no Paypal. Depends who views and reports I think. I'm sure it won't have put off bidders, they will be back looking again.
 
Right, you can't find it and nor will anyone else because you haven't spelt the name correctly, you've even managed to get the brand as Winte.

As for help with the listing in general, can you not get some decent pictures of it?

I hesitated to give this advice because tbh I'm looking for one . . .
 
I found it no problems, picture looks ok i have seen and bought from worse pics.
I sold a saddle 2 weeks ago and paypal was used and money appeared in my account 3 days later so dont worry i am sure it will be fine.

What might put people off is that the postage costs are vague. Weigh the saddle, allow a bit for packaging, then look up costs on the Royal Mail website.

I would not bid if postage is not clear, because some sellers will hike up the postage cost after auctions end if their item sold for a low price. I'm sure you wouldn't, but people do!

Good luck, hope you sell it

Unfortunately even after trying to revise the item description there is no option to alter the brand and that is down to ebay not what I selected.If you look I clearly listed it as wintec isabelle worth dressage saddle not 'winte'.
I probably could get some far better photos of it if I can find the time before the end of auction,but my work commitments between now and then are pretty full and the saddle is currently at the yard and not here at home with me which makes finding the time to sort it out even harder.
 
I hate the "must offer paypal" thing too. It has pretty much stopped me selling stuff on ebay.
As a buyer I love paypal. As a seller I hate it.
My only comments are

I NEVER bid on something unless the postage is clear.
The middle photo is so tiny barely worth putting on there.
 
I think it's fine, the watchers may not have realised that it has gone yet. I'm sure they will locate the saddle again. I also think picture will do the job, as description is good.
