Ebay recommendations - Henk - 7th-May-26

Currently I am selling some cars on eBay. Since I don't want to sell them cheap but for a normal price, they don't sell immediately, I'm not waiting for bargain hunters.. Sometimes I have to offer them again, no big deal I don't need the money but I just have bought way to many cars the last 20 years 

"Now I get this messages from eBay:

Let’s improve your listings

The following listings aren’t performing well, but you can change that. We’ve put together some specific recommendations to boost the chances of selling the properties listed below."

And then they, or better their A.I. come up with following suggestions:

"Add more photos

Add details to the description
Offer free delivery
Reduce processing time"

Add more photos? I make photos of every side of the car and of the front and back of the box. Should I also make a photo of the bottom of the box?
Add details to the description? Apart from model, maker, type number, drives and race the car participated in I need to describe it?
Offer free delivery? Really, so I should loose money on every sale? Maybe eBay should lower there percentage that includes the postage costs?
Reduce processing time? I sent as soon as the buyer pays, maybe I should already sent it while it is still not sold?

I've been selling and buying for more than 25 tears now, and it becomes badder and badder. I don't need their B.S. messages but I can't opt out.

Regretfully eBay is my only option to sell internationally since I don't want a Fartbook account but it really becomes a pain in the a$$.

I stopped using fleabay years ago after getting scammed from someone in Canada (I'm in USA). I was selling a limited edition Power Slot H1 Hummer and the scammer said it was damaged on delivery. Long story short I fought with fleabay for 9 months to get my money back, after they learned he was scamming multiple people, and never got the car back. Here's a picture of it, if anyone' sever seen it around ;)
