I am about to sell a saddle on Ebay, I have about 9 pictures of the saddle, and the odd marks and scuffs. I have the measurements and make of the saddle.

What do I have to beware of? How much postage should include for the saddle? Its not overly bulky or heacy.

any tips and hints would be fabulous :D
 
You could take it to the post office to be weighed so you know, when you are adding the details put a starting price/bid, not a reserve as that costs you, I've done this a few times and it works because then you are not selling the item for less than you want
 
Use as many variation words in the title as you can such as 17.5 m/w medium/wide havana brown WH working hunter saddle etc

As people search for different things - this will et you the most views.

I got my saddle VERY cheaply as the lady had just listed it as "saddle".
 
Think about when your ending time will be- I tend to list on a Sunday evening for 7 days, as there seems to be more people on there on a Sunday eve. Always think that Fri/ Sat evening is a bad time as people are out, and in the day they are at work. If they're not at their computers you miss out on last minute bids. Good luck!
