I agree with Griff - the photo's are really no good for a ebay sale - you have to remember that, unless they are going to come and look at it first and there are lots who don't, then all they can go on is the photos so you need to have 12 really good ones showing the camper from all angles and with the inners and curtains up. Close ups of the canvas and the transit cover. Don't use the ones from when you bought it from the dealer - a lot can happen with 14 months use and people want to know what it's like now. Your description is a bit skimpy and sort of implies that potential buyers know all about Pennine Sterlings and yes if they are spending that kind of money they should do, but it wouldn't hurt to give a little more detail about what it's got.
At least half of your watchers will have one of there own and will just be seeing how much theirs is worth and half of the rest will just be keeping an eye on prices cos they might be buying one soon so you've probably only got 10 or so people really interested and if any of them live way down south or way up north then they will wait for one to come up nearer to.
I have sold loads of tt's and fc's on ebay and never not got the price I was after. I have use the classified ads for the last few with the best offer option - there's a fixed fee of £15 at the outset so you do risk that if you don't sell but it's better than the £50 commission for an auction.
One similar to yours has just sold for £2000 and another for £2500 - you might get a better response if you put a fixed price on so you could either relist it as a classified or add a Buy it Now price - in my experience at this sort of level, people don't want the hassle of bidding unless they are getting a real bargain and yours isn't. Incidentally I just went on to the Pennine Sterling completed listings and missed your ad twice going through the page - it just doesn't stand out.
Anyway good luck

I agree with the posts above regarding photos. When selling on eBay (or anywhere for that matter) you have to become the best salesperson in the world. You have to be enthusiastic about the item your selling, list all its’ features and assume that your buying audience know nothing about your item; it’s your job to tell them everything that they need to know to make an informed decision about whether to buy it or not.
Sometimes we forget what made us buy something in the first place, so to remind myself I check out any literature/manuals that came with the item. If I haven’t got anything to hand I also look online for pdf manuals etc. I then put all the relevant info into my listing.
If possible don’t put rambling paragraphs on your listing, take your cue from the manufacturers’ literature. Use lists, simple fonts, but changing the size and using bold to highlight if necessary. Keep it easy on the eye.
Be honest. Ensure that any faults are accurately described and if necessary include a photo. The photo should also contain something that will enable the viewer to gain some perspective about the size of the fault e.g. a ruler or your finger pointing to the fault.
I’ve recently helped my bf sell an expensive lawn mower & strimmer that I knew zilch about, but using the above techniques achieved sales that exceeded his expectations. They both had reserves and the buyers were happy with their purchase and left positive feedback. BF was happy too – he now had the money to put towards even more expensive lawn mower & strimmer!!!
