Question FA Palm Zire 31 w Extras ( Mac Forums Marketplace Archive )

FA Palm Zire 31 w Extras

I'm selling my used Palm Zire 31 handheld on eBay (listing here). The starting bid is $25. This is my first attempt at selling something on eBay, so even if you aren't interested in this item, I'd appreciate any feedback on how to improve on the listing (especially if you're a veteran eBay buyer/seller).

Per the eBay description, this is a used Palm Zire 31 handheld with several extras. The handheld is in excellent condition. The Zire 31 has a 160x160 color display, 16 Mb of memory and a 200 MHz Intel ARM-based processor. The extras include a soft case from Case Logic (retail price approximately $15), a hard case, 2 extra styli and 3 screen protectors. The original USB HotSync cable, Power Adapter, Software CD and documentation are all included as well.

P.S. Posting a link to an eBay auction isn't a violation of the Marketplace Rules, as I read them; but if it is, my apologies in advance.

I think you did a good job. A couple of things you could add if you wanted to-

1. A non-DOA guarantee (again only if you want to.) I always provide one, and this may help you since you don't have any feedback as a seller yet.

2. If it were a more expensive item (say a PowerBook), I'd add another close-up photo of just the PDA. For a Zire 31 it's really not that important.

3. Consider shipping to Canada via USPS Global Priority. Stuff typically costs more there, so I often sell stuff to Canadians even though they spend more on shipping.

4. Maybe a spec list, or link to page with complete specs. Or just mention that the Zire 31 has a SD slot, can play music, etc.

I always make my listings pretty detailed. Maybe irreleveant, but I think it helps (along with my feedback), because I am typically pleasantly surprised by my auction sales (compared to previous auctions for the same stuff.)

I'm no eBay veteran, but I would suggest searching for some free eBay auction templates! I searched around, got some ideas, and settled on making something simple like I did in this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8830692472

I think even the little bit of font change/header type things helps rake in the $$$ on the auction. It's like walking in a really nice, clean looking store as opposed to....well...you get the point. Not that plain text is bad, I just think "fancy-ing it up" helps a lot.
