[scottswald]

ok, not sure where to start....

where on the forum would i sell them if i only have small amounts and only one variety at a time?

do please just reply on the thread if they are interested?

how do they pay me? paypal?

how do i package? do i always send next day delivery?

would the money come to my account in british pounds if the buyer was from another country?

so many questions!!!!!!!

1. To sell your items, post a thread in the marketplace.
2. Buyer will reply to the thread, PM you or send you an e-mail.
3. Most of the time the transaction is handled through PayPal.
4. Check out some of the stickies for shipping "How-To's"
5. shipping depends on what you want to do and how you want to guarantee arrival. Typically next day air, 2nd day, or airport to airport.
6. Yes, the money should convert in your account.

thanks pharaoh!! im guessing that the fish need to be at least £10 (15 dollors) to make any money when sending them to a differant country?

to send to a different country your looking at massive shipping costs, it would be cheaper to go to the lfs and order the fish in from the customers point of view.

yeah, i guess you're right. makes a lot of sense... i mite put them on local advertising sites too as the pet shops mite just offer store credit....

What do you have ready to sell?

 

[scottswald]

i dont, lol.

im just trying to see if it is a worth while task.

its probably worthwhile doing some of the harder to find species, particularly pure amphilophus.
check with your local fish shops to see if they would take fry, how many and how much per fish.

be warned though, you will likely get about 30p per juvie for what they would sell for £2. its hard to compete with the huge farms that wholesalers get fish from.

good luck though.
