There are people who do Estate Sales that mark everything high. They have a deal where what is left over, they keep or buy for a very low price. So sometimes, they are making sure it doesn’t sell.
I have stopped adding free shipping in my listings. I see no change in amount of sales as well.
Congrats on your 300th podcast!
Sold my first Tam O’ Shanter. Thanks to listening to your podcasts. I’m sure I wouldn’t have picked one up if I hadn’t been listening.
I have never had this happen. In this point in life, I would cancel the sale and say you made a mistake on the listing price. Then put it up for auction. At a comfortable price you will let it go for.
This is what I use auctions for. Things I don’t know anything about. Suspect they maybe something. Or there is little information on the piece. Even then, there maybe a couple of people who are not checking eBay and miss it. They will contact you after the auctions end to say that it was worth a lot more and give you an offer of a higher price. You will however get a ding from the buyer.
If you can afford to let it go, let it go. When I let something go too low, I just think the universe knows that this person needs the score more than myself. At least that’s what makes me sleep easier 🙂
I only see being able to change cut off time for same day business handling. I was thinking that this would be for all shipments. Maybe not.
So I can change my cut off time to Eastern Standard Time. As opposed to what it is now, Pacific Standard Time. Or I believe you can make the cut off time even earlier. I didn’t quickly see the guidelines for a time frame. So doesn’t that in a sense almost give you an extra day to the tracking upload requirement?
Wow you had a great week! I think I would have to keep that bowling ball! Who is the seller on eBay of china that sells expensive one off plates? I’d like to do that! LOL
I have had a very slow two months. It just picked up for me in the last couple of days.
OMG! If I didn’t have to answer the questions or think about it in any way shape or form, I’d be in TOTALLY! LOL
So I am having my large toe nail removed in April. I wonder if that would be considered a turn on or a turn off?! LOL
WHY??? Cause she “flexes her foot so artfully? I’m in hysterics here!
Thanks! I used the flipper tools and it worked. Don’t understand why it wasn’t. Oh well one problem fixed today 🙂
I have tried the Markdown Manager for about 6 months. I see about 1 or 2 items sell out of 200+ on sale. I don’t think it contacts watchers. I think they happen to look at the item and see “oh its for sale”.
The other thing I’ve done is when I go to relist and item that has been lingering for a long time, right after I list it, I put it on sale. So actually that’s truly where I get a small surge in sales. Its because they see it in their item has been relisted, at a lower price. I think the combo works. Yet marginally.
I saw that as well. I downloaded the app. It seems like a Pinterest for sneakers. To me the advantage is that eBay has sanctioned it. Wish eBay partnered with Pinterest. Now that would be amazing. It seems you have to list through Snupps first. I don’t think you can download your existing listings to the app.
Was it on your second store? I ask because I kind of feel like I am following your second store model.
I am going to stick to the basic store because if you keep it for the 12 months, its $20 a month and I do feel like I at least sell one item a month to make up for that $20 fee. I was going to go to the next level on my year anniversary, which would be March, Yet I don’t think I would make up the difference of $75 (don’t know what the year discount is).
Anyways thanks for all your help. Love listening every week to your pod cast.
I guess what I’m thinking in my case, is my long tail item choices are duds. For me relying on those, has brought my selling levels down. Trust me I am looking for those home run items. You know. You pay a dollar to $20 or more and you turn it over for $40 to $200 profit. That is the difference from when I was just using my 50 free listings as opposed to having a basic store.
And as been mentioned, eBay pushes relists further down on the visibility of items that are not selling and are getting relisted. That’s why I it feels to me like a pyramid scheme. Your not being directly told this by eBay. Yes there is a mention of how you get visibility. I need a smack you in the face plan of action that says this is why you are failing at this.
