I have to disagree with you about price, North.

I’ve sold a machine on eBay today for over Â£400. There are three more on eBay with start price of Â£1.

What’s the betting they don’t bring anywhere near Â£400, and why did the buyer buy mine instead of waiting a bit longer?

It couldn’t be my branding by any chance could it?

I disagree North. eBay is about much more than price. For one example, I had a reverse price war with one of my competitors: on average I could charge 350% more than her for the same items from the same supplier. The only difference was that I had close-up, focussed photographs and she didn’t. I could give you a dozen more examples, but I’m not posting them in public

And with my buyer’s hat on, I recently spent Â£20 on a book I could have got for a fiver from a seller who wasn’t responsible for items lost in the post and had the feedback to prove it.

If anyone is after a logo http://www.aaa-logo.com/ comes recommended as a cost effective program to generate one. Alternatively search for logo design on eBay (where else would you look? )
