Hi,
I'm thinking of selling custom build computers on ebay. The only thing that is stopping me is;
a) Postage
b) Operating Systems
a) How would i post the computers, does anyone know? What happens if something goes wrong with it whilst it is on it's way? I could use the collection method but that will lower my audience. I was thinking of using ParcelForce, do they come and pick the package up from your house and then take it away? As you can see i don't have a clue about shipping, unfortunately.
b) How do people give you operating systems? I mean if you go to buy Windows on ebay your gonna be paying around £60 for a licence. Yet, I see people being able to sell brand new computers for the price of the components + say £30-40. Where they getting profit from that?
Any ideas?
Note that i'm from Scotland so any users that are going to reply to this thread refer to Great Britain please.
