Number of items listed this week: 65I have had one account for 17 years. For the first 5 years I sold everything but clothing. The past 12 I have sold primarily mens clothing. In both setups, there were repeat buyers.
My current store has around 3800 listings. I run everything BIN/OBO. I like to constantly encourage multiple item purchases. To do so, I have a promotion set up storewide “Buy 2 get 1 free + free shipping” pretty much year round. The promo only works when the buyer uses “add to cart”, and automatically blocks purchases made with best offer. I notify the potential buyers of the B2G1 promo though the offers to watchers, as an alternative “haggle free” buying option. The buyer goes away feeling like they got a great deal, and I sell 3 items without having to respond to any offers, for around the same combined price I would have tried to haggle for separately.
Finally got our taxes done for 2021, we overpaid by $15K. No wonder I’m so broke.

If they become impatient, I can always buy them out for much cheaper, or send it all back, at their expense.
