Sometimes the right method depends on the watch in question.
For example, older FLEs are probably more in demand on the forum than on ebay, so posting in sales corner makes more sense.
On the other hand, C60s seem to sell better on ebay, probably because most people on the forum already have one or have decided they don't want one.
So I weigh up each case on its merits. But generally I try sales corner first.

I use both put it in the for sale section for a couple of weeks if no takers move it to ebay, best of both worlds.

PP is 3.4% + 20p (what's that 20p all about then?), so you're looking at 13.4% AND flea-bay now takes a 10% fee from your postage charges. It all adds updowner wrote:eBay is 10% + paypal fees = pretty expensive!
I honestly don't think you'll make enough extra for it to be worth it. Used CWs don't go for silly prices

You might not make extra - but it might well sell faster... which for some can be important...It'sAliveJim wrote:PP is 3.4% + 20p (what's that 20p all about then?), so you're looking at 13.4% AND flea-bay now takes a 10% fee from your postage charges.

The 20p is there way of ensuring they have a minimum fee - i.e. if you buy something from me for 99p on ebay they don't want 0.99 x 3.4% as a fee - they want more!
