Ebay Listing Accountability Thread

[Bassmaster96]

Yeah, it would probably do good. Sold 2 so far this weekend. I have one that I sold 4 days or so ago and still haven't gotten paid. The buyer has over 600 feedback 100% positive, however, one was left 2 days ago by a seller and it said he never paid or responded. I hate to open a case, but what do you do? I figure something happened to him or something, he may be in the hospital or something.

Need to get listing today. Busy with overtime. 2 sales in August. 2 low ball bids and had to open a case against a buyer that has not paid for 2 weeks. HH

That's not a good sign. I had a buyer about the same with awesome feedback, just wouldn't pay me. After multiple invoices I opened a case. Worst thing was Ge was paying other sellers at the same timeframe. Hopefully your buyer comes through.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Now that is real bad news, if they were paying other sellers. I would have already opened a case if he had. I think he is a repeat buyer, I just hate to open a case. Got a $35 bid on 2 toy Jurassic park vehicles. Only gave $4 for that whole box.

 

[dieselram94]

Yeah, I would give him the benefit of a doubt in that case. Sometimes emergencies come up.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Are you back at Maine yet?

 

[dieselram94]

Yup, back home. Arrived a few hours ago. Off to work and some measure of reality tomorrow. Lol!

 

[Bassmaster96]

Glad to hear you made it safe.

No sales for me so far today. It is always nice to have something that was relisted a few times sell.

5 Sales so far as of the 5th... which is good, but I also have 7 items with bids! Some $20 sales but also some $5 ones in there for hats I am trying to clear out, but they add up.

I'm also 30-40 items listed above my goal of 100 so far, and it has been paying off with an average of 2 sales/bids per day.

Going to list a few more tonight!

 

[dieselram94]

Yup the small items do add up.

 

[Bassmaster96]

That is true. However, if I am going to sell something cheap, I would rather end them all on the same day so I can have multiple ones going out at once. What is the cheapest item you have ever sold on eBay?

I try to do the same, but depends on when people pay. Had 3 hats end last night and all three paid before I woke up, which was nice.

Out of the 280 items I have sold since I started earlier this year, only 10 sold for less than $5 total, and all of those were from my first month or two when I was just trying to see what I had to get feedback (probably jewelry stuff and other small things).

I only sell hats at $5 + shipping as a last resort and they won't sell for higher. After fees and costs, I make just under $4. I won't buy a hat if I only think it will sell for that, its only ones that just didn't work as planned. I put in the time to list it and take pics, I'd rather Make my money back and some profit for a few minutes of packing time then be out my original cost.

And all the $10-20 hats make up for it

 

[JustinNH]

Up to 9 sales and 3 items with bids now, as of the 6th.

Sold a Disney Villains mug that I paid $1 for..... for $35 w/shipping.
Made me pretty happy seeing that.

Only listed 3 items last night, but I'm happy to continue my listing streak.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Okay, that makes sense. Sometimes I have to do the same thing on stuff that isn't selling. I normally throw it in to big lots though. Nice on that mug!

The cheapest thing I have sold was .99 cents, however I charged $15.00 shipping so I made about four bucks on it. I had no money in it.

 

[Bassmaster96]

That makes sense also. I don't get the 0.99 free shipping listings. They have to lose money.
