Shipping cost would be $3.50 and I'd expect to get maybe $16 for the bracelet so with the 10% commission for Listia I'd have to set the GIN at around 3300 xnks since 1000=$7 right now.
Actually xnks are down to 1000=$6 so it would be even more anyway....I hate that xnk value changes all the time...makes it hard to price items. You wanted the best item in the lot so it's not like you can get it for $2 and I'm out the shipping cost ya know ;D
I didn’t expect to get it for $2, I just can’t justify paying half the cost of the original auction. I hate the XNK too, it honestly didn’t make sense for Listia to change the system. Especially when newbies have no clue what they’re doing and Listia advertises as “free” so they bid things up for people who actually want an item and can pay for it.
Well, Listia is a better place to buy and get good deals when xnks drop but it is not a good place to sell. I used to enjoy browsing the new jewelry listings but now it takes me an hour to find much of anything that is not new from Hong Kong to arrive in 2 months if you get it. I like to trade my old with someone else's vintage better like it used to be.
I agree! I read one listing that said “If your item hasn’t arrived after 60 days will refund”. I think there is a cut off for refunds so that’s just a scam.
I actually put in a support ticket to complain about 20 listings all in a row with no photos. I would be happy if they would at least add the ability to browse and limit the listings to see that are from USA shippers only.
