I am assuming that you were hoping for a higher selling price...
First of all, you should have set a reserve price on the auction or a minimum bid of what
you wanted to "at least" get from the auction. The buyer (whatever his rating)
may have just signed up. I think I would have included the native language write up rather
than just in English.
Second, sometimes just a picture of a box is just what a buyer gets. I would have taken
pictures of the box insides or even included a stock photo of what the disk pack is that
is in the box.
just a couple of thoughts.
best regards, Steve Thatcher

Subject: eBay disaster
Hi folks,
could someone please explain me THIS?
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190385486840
I don't sell on eBay very often. And from time to time I see people paying
astronomical sums for
more or less junk. But this time it was me offering stuff - and what did I get? I have no
clue who
would sell me a used RK05 disk pack in unknown condition for that price. But this was a
new in a box
one....!
What did I do wrong?
Was it the winner of the auction who has 0 eBay points? There was absolutely no trace of
fraud on my
side. I did neither bid with another account nor did I even ask someone to bid on my
auctions to
drive up the price. That's what I got from it. I hope that the lucky 0 points high
bidder on my pack
is someone who really exists...
Regards,
Philipp
