Default Is now a good time to sell?

I've had trouble selling a couple of bags on eBay recently.
Do you think the market is slow at the moment and do you think I'd have a better chance after the summer?
My prices are realistic I think...
A paddy 06 in good condition...I was hoping for £275 ish..?
What with the listing ban etc eBay is loosing it's appeal, although I notice that people listing fake bags don't seem to have this ban, only genuine sellers??

EYah, the listing restrictions only really affect genuine sellers who sell many designer bags. It's the new users who sell fakes that don't get punished

I think for an 06 paddy, 275 pounds is a good deal

Most bags aren't going for much right now though, but I think that with the restrictions, soon the demand should be greater than the supply of authentic bags and raise prices again. Maybe, I didn't study economics or finance, so no idea!

What color paddy? I think price and ability to sell also depends on the COLOR of the bag. Seems like some colors are just alot more IN DEMAND, and other colors just RARE to find..... supply & demand, which will affect price and sales time.
I can tell you this... I recently sold a DIOR bag on eBay... a very popular style and color, and moderately easy to come by. I started the listing at $900 BIN and dropped the price to $800 halfway thru the auciton. The next to last day, I dropped the BIN to $700... and it sold immediately. I WANTED to sell this bag, so I reduced my price until it sold.

Yeah... may be more of a fall color, although seems like there have been a couple girls scouting chocs. There are a couple of them on the bay right now I think...??

ALTHOUGH... while the MSLIVE cashback program is still running, tis a good time to be selling on BIN, as right now the cashback is 20%. Make sure you LIST the MSLIVE cashback in your ad if you offer a BIN. I know that is why my dior sold when it did. And I did have the cashback details in my auction.
