    question for ebay sellers

    Ebay sellers:

    How are your sales right now? Am I the only one in a slump? I hardly have any bids on my items and even when I lower the price, which usually works, I still won't get any bites.

    Advice?

    It's slow right now for me also and I sell a wide assortment of items. I think people are still paying for Christmas. Things should pick up as we get closer to tax time.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    Generally speaking, ebay has been dead for me. Everyone I know personally that lists on ebay is saying the exact same thing.

    Since I make a living from ebay sales, it is a little worrisome at times.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    I just pulled an item that wasn't doing to well and I would have lost may ass on it. Money right now is just to tight and people are backing of from the market, also there are more ebay sellers now flooding ebay trying to make a buck. The only thing I see selling well is gold and silver.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    For the past couple months I have been picking up only the items I know will sell. Now even that stuff isn't selling... so yea it is troubling.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    You know when feebay is hurting when they pull those surprise "list 1000 items for free" stunts. I usually find out about it the day it starts, feebay rarely sends me an email telling about it. I rush and relist things that didn't sell on the last listing.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    Haven't listed in well over a month been too busy buying, work has been keeping me busy too. Garage sales have been a little slow too because of the holidays. I'm planning on listing some stuff, maybe this week but i'm not starting anything for less than the minimum I would accept for it. I gotta get out and try my new Sand Shark sooner or later.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    Sales have been fine. I did do a GW trip with a bunch of items that weren't moving, but I do that every few months. I'm halfway through the summer finds, looking forward to clearing the garage shelves.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    I do eBay selling for a business and some sales have been great. just this past week i get a great price on a bunch of snap on tools. Of course it depends on WHAT you are selling, and how you list an item by the title to attract attention.

    Re: question for ebay sellers

    I do a storage/toy box lot when the toy as an individual item will not sell but a lot of misc toys will. Of course they are not the average gsale toys most are vintage. Do not always get a great price but I always get my initial investment back.
