25 new listings for me. I wasn’t sure I’d make my weekly listing goal, it really felt like work last week.
I’m still working on the two DP boxes I designated to clear in November, but I hope to make that goal before Friday Dec. 1st.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!
25 new listings for me. At this rate I’m going to hit 1,000 active listings before the end of November.
I never used to worry about reaching my store free listings limit – I was selling nearly as many items as I listed on most weeks. But a change in eBay’s search results has decimated my sewing pattern sales, which is the majority of my eBay store.
Previously when searching for a specific pattern number eBay would show only patterns that included that number. Now eBay shows buyers thousands of listings.
Needless to say it’s impossible for buyers to find my items. In order to find a certain pattern number now the pattern brand and pattern number have to be in quotes in the search bar. Judging by my huge drop in pattern sales it’s obvious to me that shoppers don’t know they need to search that way.
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
Vintage Lacy – how awful! I’m so sorry to hear about your water disaster – what a heart sinking discovery that must have been. Will you be shifting to all plastic tubs as a safeguard?
25 new listings for me and another week that included two days with no sales at all as well as days with just one sale. It was actually a good thing though since I came down with Norovirus/Food Poisoning/Stomach Flu and I wasn’t able to leave the bathroom to ship orders. I only ended up with one late shipment even though I was ill for 4 days. Like Vintage Lacy, my silver lining doesn’t feel very shiny – lol.
Thanks for the encouragement on my DP box challenge! My illness put a halt to my progress (I ended up listing from my draft bank) but I hope to get back to it this week. Or ASAP, this week we’re having a house guest. Sigh.
Wishing everyone a better week this week!
25 new listings for me. I’m happy to report that I cleared my two October self-challenge DP boxes. Unfortunately those two boxes were immediately refilled with other DP items that weren’t boxed. But it’s still progress!
I’ve started on my two November DP challenge boxes and now that I have some better processes learned from my October experience I’m hoping to process three DP boxes in November. Fingers crossed!
Wishing everyone a productive week!

Julie misery loves company so I’ll let you know you’re not alone regarding poor sales on eBay. I had two days last week with zero sales and I sold exactly one item over the weekend. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced eBay being quite this slow. Fingers crossed that we see an improvement this week.
Good luck to everyone!

Congrats Christine on being the real winner last week! 56 listings is amazing, are you over 1,000 active now?
Julie, thanks for the Mercari promotion info. I’ve purchased on Mercari but never listed there, maybe the promotion will motivate me to try listing there.
Wishing everyone a great week!
25 for me last week.
Julie: I’m so glad your surgery went well and you’re recovering now.
Wishing everyone a great week!
25 new listings for me last week. I was able to keep my store at over 900 active listings so it’s all good.
I’m also working on a self-imposed challenge for October which is to list (or donate or throw out) the entire contents of two of my unlisted inventory bankers boxes. I may or may not actually complete that goal but in the meantime I’m selling stuff I’ve had sitting there unlisted for years.
Wishing everyone luck with listing and sales this week!
25 for me last week. We just returned from our out of town trip, it was lovely!
I’m so sorry to hear you got Covid Amatino – what an ordeal, I hope you feel better ASAP. And best wishes Julie on your upcoming procedure.
43 listings for me.
I made it to 900 active early last week – then I listed as many as I needed to each day to make it back up to 900 active. Today I’ll make it past 900, but I’m going away for a long weekend this week. So I’ll be working towards not ending up below 900 after four days away this week.
Wishing everyone a productive week!
Welcome home Julie!
25 new listings for me last week.
My last summer visitor is leaving today so I’m ready to hit my 900 active listings goal as soon as I’ve had more coffee – lol.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and productive week!
Congratulations Christine, job well done!
Challenge accepted on reaching 900 active. It won’t be this week because my sister is visiting but I’m going to go for it next week. See you there!
25 new listings for me. I met my goal so I’m happy with that, but I haven’t made it to 900 active.
We have more visitors arriving this week, so I probably won’t make it to 900 active this week either.
Wishing everyone a great week!
I listed 37 last week. I got a bee in my bonnet to make it to 900 active listings so I listed more than my weekly goal.
I didn’t make it to 900 but I did make progress towards that goal. Hopefully I’ll get there in a couple of weeks. I thought I might make it to 900 this week but now we have house guests arriving again tomorrow. Our other visitors just left this morning. Entertaining guests doesn’t leave much free time to tend to eBay.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Labor Day!
25 new listings for me. Despite being super busy with guests I’ve managed to continue to build up my listings draft bank. I’m grateful to have a quick way to list on days when I end up with zero time to list from scratch.
ChristineR: Congratulations on the fantastic needlework haul! I love that niche.
Wishing everyone a great week!
