This is very interesting. Whats the eBay link that shows that language on their website?
I’d pay $250 more a month if I knew I could make an extra $1000.
We’re in the same boat. Plenty of inventory. Not enough time to list. It’s a luxury problem to have.
Because of the tattoos, I assume it’s more recent line of toys. Dont remember action figures with tats in the 80s or 90s.
My level head agrees with you. After the initial popular items get purchased, then its all just long tail items. We still sell $100 a day of weird, strange items we got for $1. Cant complain too much.
We have the Premiere subscription. Mainly because it covers all our listing fees in the most frugal way possible.
Has anyone else seen a drop in sales when they downgraded store subscriptions? Could; just be coincidence with the summer (and our own personal lack of recent listing).
I have a standard template which lists out my shipping costs (including combined shipping if the buyer purchases multiples) and references how I ship and package. Then for each listing, I add in the same details that are in the title plus anything I couldn’t fit because of character limits (for trading cards, usually it is the full set name and which sport it is) and any details on item condition.
This is all good feedback. I can see how being very detailed oriented in your listing could help get a higher price if collectors are looking for very specific info.
–Did you buy the template or make it yourself?
–Does the template work well on mobile devices?
–So in addition to filling out item specifics and the eBay description, you also add all this info in the template. Does it add a lot of time to your listing?
We used to use a custom template when eBay was very bare bones. In each listing, we’d input all the info about the item: size, color, description etc. This was also before people purchased on their phones.
Now eBay pages include all that info in the description and item specifics. Their pages work much better on mobile.
We did away with our templates because it was too much work to maintain.
I’m really surprised eBay doesnt hire modern designers to redo their store pages. Tells me that eBay is a super conservative company that obsesses over any little tiny change because they dont want to kill the golden goose. No one is going to lose their job keeping things the way they are…as long as eBay keeps making a quarterly profit. I assume the more creative types in eBay must be pulling their hair out.
Yeah, I don’t see a work around: https://www.ebay.com/sub/subscriptions
Selling Manager Pro is an extra $15.99: “An online selling tool that you can use to manage listings, track sales, and perform common post-sales tasks.”
How many items do you sell per month?
We make more net profit per transaction selling coffee, but we probably make more profit overall on food. Food just takes a lot of infrastructure.
Have fun on the Cape and along the East Coast!
Good info. Cynically, I do wonder if eBay is just putting promoted listings where the same listing would go organically. But ultimately glad to see your items sell well.
A very cool item. The hook looks familiar but I cant seem to think for what it’d be for. Too short for a fireplace tool.
Unfortunately I think we’ve seen numbers rise and fall as eBay works behind the scenes. There was a glitch a couple weeks where this happened, but it was fixed.
I dont think you have less items and wouldnt obsess. Just keep listing.
Thanks. I’m open to any new technique. I go months without an issue and then certain situations seem to pop up. It’s very weird.
