Check what LifeStyle AV charges - they are usually pretty spot on when it comes to pricing:

Dave,

I am in Melbourne, and as a guide I sold mine on ebay with a white cover for about $1200.00 add approx. $150 - $200 for the Beo4, another $100 for the extra cover and another $300 for the stand. Postage will be difficult, so I suggest that you offer the buyer to arrange their own courier to collect and in the meantime try and find a couple of boxes big enough!! Just take good clear pictures of each item, and start the bidding at what you want for it so that it doesn't sell too low....

Good luck

Don't be scared.... just remember not to give it away. Also, ask the buyer to pay by bank deposit. Paypal is expensive and they have the power to take funds back from you. If the $$ are in your bank account, no one can scam you or try to get an unjustified refund. Don't be afraid to give your bank details to the successful bidder.

I'll be one of the watchers and will send you any feedback on your listing.

If you sell it locally I can understand the option to exclude Paypal.

Paypal takes around 3%, so no biggie.

I would never buy anything of ebay anymore from a seller that don't accept paypal. I judge Paypal as a safer way to pay. A 1000 dollar plus item on ebay and no paypal, I would skip it in a heartbeat.

I would suggest you use Paypal if you are offering it to international buyers. Locally a simple bank account is probably enough. 

Sorry, should have clarified....

I gave info on the basis that Dave would be selling to Australia only due to the size and weight. It would not really be feasable to post the unit overseas for tho following reasons:

• 1 box for the Beosound alone (quite heavy and big $$ postage and insurance)
• plus another box for extra cover and accessories (not too heavy so ok) 
• plus another box for the stand (quite large, but not too heavy still = big $$ postage and insurance)
• The fragile nature of the goods
• The cost of goods thereby the increased risk of loss

Paypal is mandatory as part of the listing, but as a seller I would try and steer the buyer away from using it (Just a piece of advice from a sellers perspective). If a buyer insists on using Paypal, then I wouldn't knock it back either. Although 3% is no biggie, I'd prefer the $50+ in my pocket than in Paypal's pocket!!!😕
