Yeah, we find it easier to list directly on eBay. We find there’s really no short cuts.
Some sellers here use listing software that helps them list the same item across multiple platforms.
My sales have taken a huge nosedive this first week of March despite daily listing.
Congrats on getting your store inventory higher! I think there are a number of factors causing people to question their purchases. For us, its never good to judge based on just a couple weeks of slow sales. We’re playing the long game.
It’s a good question but likely also a trade secret so people cant game the system.
Set a new record for us for the longest held item to sell this week: 1940 days.
I’m proud of you for not stressing about holding inventory! Obviously no seller wants to wait five years to sell an item, but I assume this is a rare example.
It would have been a much better week if the buyer paid for the $500 hat that they won at auction but I don’t think they ever intended on paying
I understand the rational behind using auctions to create bidding wars, but we too often are burned by buyers who never pay. BIN is really the best. “Make Offer” will be awesome once eBay enables immediate payment.
At least the auction help you set a price.
Good catch. I know this bug was common when people were ending and relisting as new.
It’s difficult to tell in the two photos. A slot-head screw usually means its pre-1970’s.
Glad you joined us here. If this is your year of going full-time, its all about consistent listing. No secret to it.
We all post our numbers/issues each week on the Sunday thread: https://www.scavengerlife.com/forums/forum/podcast-comments/
How many of those 40 listings per week are new items you just pruchased vs eating into your death piles?
I believe we’ve all had this discussion and come to the conclusion that those numbers don’t add up across eBay’s statements. Frustrating but just a reality. Someone else may have better answer.
I’d start with the 1099 that eBay sent you (and will send to the IRS).. Then just start deducting all the things you can document that you spent on the business (final value fees, shipping, COGS, etc). What’s more important is that you have a system to show how you found your numbers.
If you expect eBay to do all those numbers for you, you’ll be very sad 🙁
That’s incredible because I assume its just 36 refunds out of hundreds (thousands?) of patch sales in that 12 months.
On any given month, how many patch refunds do you make because of lost mail? I know you ship a lot.
