Viewing bids on my items for sale

[iosmat846]

I am quite new to this. According to the app, I have one bid on my item for sale but I can't see it. How or where do I need to go to view this and hopefully any future bids?

You can view all activity on your listings in Seller Hub, here:

I don't use the app it's too limited for me,  but you should still see the bid.  Click on the item and on the 1 bid showing.

Or,  do you mean you wish to see the amount the buyer has placed,  that will not show  until someone places a higher bid. You started your jacket at 99p  the buyer may well have placed say a £10 bid but that will not show until equalled or beaten.

A few tips here.  Reserves are the most expensive listing upgrade.  Costing 4% of your set reserve payable sale or no sale, and minimum to place is £50.  Usually used for very expensive items.

It would not usually be used on clothing unless perhaps something vintage,  rare,  high brand.  Even then,  to save costs,  just list the item for the lowest amount you are happy to receive,  it cannot sell for less.

Then,  if the item doesn't sell,  there is nothing to pay. If you get one bid, which often happens,  you will have acheived the price you wanted,  and won't be disappointed

You can also click on the item, then click where it says '1 bid'.

Hopefully, you have checked out the terms and fees for using a reserve.

Fees are usually 4% of the reserve price and you pay this even if the item doesn't sell.

Better, in my view anyway, to start the item at a realistic price, certainly the lowest price you are prepared to accept.

Buyers who are looking at bidding 99p may not even consider paying over £50 for an item and may not realise that is the minimum reserve price.

Can you confirm that sellers still pay a reserve on clothing even now there are no fees on selling pre-owned clothing?  Would be useful to know.

Thank you.

I think @tressygirl and I were typing similar advice at the same time.

This does happen!

And we are usually on the same page.

Yep !  It happens and good thing that we are always on the same page too, @jckl1957   !
