High vehicle costs always puzzled me. Why spend a lot of money on something that goes DOWN in value?
I turn 47 in August…still haven’t purchased a new vehicle. I have a goal to do so, but only when I have $1M in cash and investments…
Yep. Cheaper fees, less eyeballs.
If they can get more traffic, then it would be great!
We load photos to our computer then add to the listing.

Jay: watch the original Rollerball… 🙂
I have read One Second After and the sequel One Year After. Both great books.
Rob: “And also it will serve as some accountability for us to get listing.” — Absolutely!!!
“Just need the motivation to turn plans into action, and build the habit of listing daily.” — That is the best thing you can do. Execution is the key!
Welcome to the party!
Welcome back Mike!
I think you are spot on. If you are auto relisting items and they are spread out over the month, then every day something is going up, and not on sale for 14 days. Then when it hits the 15th day, it goes on sale until it ends on Day 30.
This could work to our advantage. For the first two weeks, listings will get views and watchers. When the item goes on sale, I believe that eBay sends a message to the watchers that it has gone on sale. So not only is your sale price enticing buyers that are looking from Day 15-30, you could be alerting your buyers that watched the item from Day 1-14 that it is now on sale.
Retro: Regarding boosting sales…always a bit of a mystery. We had a 2 day span recently where one day was $107 and the next day was $772. No idea why.
I do think Promoted Listings give us a boost. Since we started, we usually have at least one sale on Promoted Listings each day. But I think momentum is what it gives you. Since we are 30 day listings, once a Promoted Listing ends, when it is relisted, it is no longer promoted unless you rerun the campaign and add it back in. I usually do this once a week.
I got busy recently and our Promoted Listings fell off, and we had a few days recently without a Promoted Listing sale…and our numbers have held. Hmmm…
I have seen this with sales. We will sometimes run a 10% off sale when things slow down. The sale will only be for a few days. We seem to get a boost when the sale is going, then after it ends, we still seem to keep momentum.
I have talked before about momentum seems to be a thing to go for. When one suit sells, suddenly others start to sell. When one brand starts to sell, then that same brand sells more.
Interesting that you check out traffic as well. I keep the daily data in a spreadsheet. I was just talking with Veronica that although our Impressions are up significantly year over year, our page views are down. So we have more of what is getting searched, but are getting less clicks on our items. So…pricing too high? Photos not capturing buyers?
That is a mystery to me right now…
“I’d be FAR more concerned with my level of physical and mental fitness than I would be my amount of guns, ammo, or rations.”
Amen Retro. I always laugh when I see that too…
Stuff runs out quick. Strong body and mind last a heck of a lot longer…and is more beneficial in everyday life too…
MyCottage: Very good point. I think they would have to look at how many sellers would comply with what an eBay Plus program would require first. Not everyone does (or will do) the main points we see now:
Free Shipping
Free Returns
Same Day Handling
Priority ShippingI think maybe 20% or less of all sellers on eBay would do those four things. I could be wrong, just spitballing, but I know about 30% do Free Shipping in Clothing, about 40%-50% do Free Returns. This is based on some research I did on the site. Not NEARLY enough data, but just what I can see when I play around to get a feeling.
I will definitely talk with some folks at eBay about this next month.
Thanks evh! I’m gonna listen while listing today.
