I sell vintage paper collectibles and most of my buyers are collectors who are likely to be interested in at least some of my other items. Most of my items sell for around $5 to $10 each, but many of my buyers will buy at least a few of my items at one time and I figure a $15 – $25 sale is nothing to sneeze at. I love combined shipping – I started buying years ago on a shoestring and hated inflated shipping charges – and always offer the lowest reasonable shipping charge, so buyers know they’re not getting gouged or nickel and dimed.

I also allow plenty of time for buyers to pay, which many buyers use to find more of my items to buy, because my combined shipping usually makes buying additional items a very good deal. Since I build plenty of time to pay into the listings, I rarely have a problem with overdue payments. The buyers interested only in the one item they bought usually are eager to receive it and pay the fastest.

He recently started requiring that users have at least 1 feedback in order to bid after noticing the winning bidders who don’t pay tend to be those with 0 feedback. His theory is that people submit dummy bids in order to drive up the bids on their own listings.
