Still trying to sell a pair of Men's black DM's Size 10 but no joy so far. Help please!!!

I'm am selling on behalf of one of my work colleagues, who orginally purchased the DM's from the British Boot Company and he only wore them once.

try taking more pictures, the ones you have don't really show the shoes

[likelife001]

Thanks, I'm just about to upload more pictures to show them from more angles.

4 watchers so far. Just going to add a few more pics.

[pixiesen2012]

you still haven't provided a photo that shows the front of the shoes,


it makes it look like you are hiding something!

[likelife001]

They are not my shoes. I am selling them on behalf of a work colleague. Ok I will photograph the front.

[likelife001]

I have uploaded the front of the DM's

[likelife001]

So far I have had 71 views of my item and 9 watchers but no bids. Any suggestions where I am going wrong? I have tried photographing the shoes from all angles.

[likelife001]

I am beginning to think that I should have mentioned to my work colleague to open an account of his own.

[likelife001]

Yippee. Someone has bid £25 for the DM's. Just goes to show what tweaking the description and adding more photos does. Thanks for all your help.

[likelife001]

Two bidders made bids for the DM's. Finally, they eventually sold last night with a bid of £34, which I am about to post to winning buyer based in the North East of England UK.

More pictures and a better description.

The item specifics fields are useful but the description box is there for reason.

Are they actually vintage?  How long has your friend owned them?

[likelife001]

Hi angelah1847. My colleague actually bought the DM's back in January, and only asked me to sell them on his behalf about two weeks ago. My colleague says the reason he only wore once is because the left shoe supposedly dug (as shoes do when newly bought) into his heal and caused it to draw blood. I don't see an traces of blood however upon checking them.

Ok, if they're only 6-7 months old then they're not vintage, you need to remove that from the item specifics.

They would be vintage if they were 20+ years old.

[likelife001]

Thanks. I will rchange vintage from yes to no

[likelife001]

Typo sorry, Should be change not change.

Best advice i can give is never ever sell something for someone else.

It is you that will have to deal with any issues if things go wrong.

Your work colleage can quite easily open a selling account themselves.

Way too risky.
