I don't think you did anything wrong - I would just relist it. I have never listed anything more than twice without it selling.

You could include the measurements from like neck to waist, waist to ankle etc. I would add Pooh and Toddler in the title maybe.
As far as shipping, I just bought an inexpensive scale, and I use the ebay shipping method where I fill in the weight and they can choose how they want it shipped (priority vs. first class etc).
Good luck! I just sold a cheerleader uniform as a halloween costume for over $20!

I personally wouldn't bid on it if I didn't know the shipping. I'd add it in.

Ok thanks maybe I'll take it down later and get it weighed. I just don't want to under charge or over charge them.

I agree it makes me nervous if the seller doesn't list shipping charges. Not all sellers are honest and some try to make a few extra bucks on shipping.

The costume is adorable. If it wasn't so darn hot here in Florida around halloween, I would buy it!

Do you all think that the listing price of $9.99 is too much? There is one exactlly like mine right now and it has like 8 hrs left and she started it out at $9.99 and it has no bids with 100% feedback. And I'm going to put $5.50 for shipping do you think that sounds right? I'm getting ready to relist this so wanted your guy's opinion

Here is my breakdown of the auction...
This is a Disney Store eeyore Costume in very good condition in a size 2-4T.(not enought information here for me, no rips tears or stains... adding words like that make it fun are helpful... I would have put... Today for auction I have a super cute Disney store EEYORE Costume in Excellent condition with no rips tears or stains. This is snuggley warm for a cold halloween night and just perfect for your little tricker treater!)



Fine print:


Payment: Expected within 10 days of auction close. Please email me withn 3 dys of the end of auction to verify shipping and payment information. Paypal only. Credit card payments through PP are also accepted.


Shipping: USA only. $5.50 with the option of insurance (extra cost). Will not be held responsible for items once they leave my hands. (I think your shipping costs are a little high, I would have set shipping at $3.85 for priority mail shipping insurance is an extra $1.30 for up to $50. )

It is my opinion that the wording and sometimes lack there of can really help to sell your auction. I like an auction that sells with personality behind it. Makes me feel like the seller is more trustworthy and easier to work with.


Please ask all questions before placing your bid. cbuttram3@charter.net By placing a bid you agree to the terms of Ebay and the terms of this auction. Your bid is a binding contract.
(this is good to add on but I would make the print a little smaller on it)

I think the costume is cuter than the dickens and I hope it sells for you!

I also wanted to add that shipping labels for priority mail shipping are available at www.usps.com with free delivery confirmation.
