FAQs

What types of items can I sell?

eBay prohibits the sale of some types of items, and places restrictions on some others. Planet4Sale only accepts items that are legal to sell on eBay & comply with eBay’s listing regulations & policies.

Are there any price/weight restrictions?

Planet4Sale only accepts items expected to sell for $100 or more. Items must weigh less than 150 lbs. and measure less than 130 inches in girth. To calculate girth, add the two smallest sides of an item, multiply by 2, and then add the length of the largest side. We do accept Large & Oversize items, but they must be Pre-approved.

What if my item doesn't sell?

Planet4Sale will NOT automatically re-list it after the initial 7-day auction. If it doesn’t sell during the auction, you must pick up the item within 7 days, or we will donate it to charity. We will attempt to contact you if any item does not sell & needs to be picked up.

What if I have many items under $100 in value?

We can combine several similar items into one auction lot if they can be listed under the same eBay category. For example, several CDs or several books can be listed together if their combined value is expected to exceed $100. Each listing can take several hours of our time in research, photography, customer service, packaging, etc…therefore, we will not accept ANY items we do not feel will exceed the $100 minimum.

Who pays for the packaging & shipping?

The winning bidder pays for all packaging, shipping, handling and insurance charges.

How can I tell if my item is worth $100?

Will I have to set-up an eBay or PayPal account?

No. Planet4Sale manages both the auction and collection of payment to ensure your privacy.

What if a potential bidder has a question about my item?

Planet4Sale answers bidder’s questions via email almost 24 hours a day. If there is a question we can’t answer, we will contact you. We never give your contact information to potential bidders or buyers.

Why is it important to have a good feedback rating?

A positive feedback rating lets potential bidders gauge a seller’s reliability. It’s just one of the safety features built into the eBay system. Planet4Sale strives to maintain a very high positive feedback rating, so bidders can feel safe & confident buying from us.

Will I be able to see the listing on eBay?

Yes. Just check Planet4Sale’s eBay listings to find your item.

What if the buyer never sends payment?

We won’t ship your item until we receive payment. In the event that payment isn’t received within the allotted time, we will contact the second place bidder to attempt to sell it for their lesser bid or automatically re-list the item if necessary. If this happens, we will contact you via e-mail.

How much will my item sell for?

eBay’s greatest strength is that it is the world’s largest on-line market place. The market will determine what your item is worth. While we do not predict selling price, we can let you know what similar items are selling for on eBay.

What if I want my item to sell for a higher price than bidders are bidding?

Once an auction starts, the terms of the auction can’t be changed. If you are concerned about protecting your investment, you may want to use our Delux Service, which allows you to set a reserve (or minimum) sales price.
