Ebay Listing Accountability Thread

palidin20603 · Sep 21, 2014

Listed 5 items. 23 sales for September. Need to keep it up, after I finish listing I seem to get offers a few hours later. HH

JustinNH · Sep 22, 2014

Slower than average weekend. Only 3 or 4 sales/bids all weekend.
Up to 59 sold, 2 with bids... 61 total.

Haven't listed anything in a few days. I'll probably pick some 20-25$ items to suck up and pay the 30 cent fee on. Not worth it on a $10 hat, but I have some nicer shirts that could eat the cost better.
Or, ebay could give me some free listings. That would be great. haha :laughing7:

posted 11 things today so far .. will probably post a couple more things later
went to a couple of flea markets yesterday they were small nothing but junk
did find 9 silver coins that I posted yesterday... hope to break even on those - lol

I'm still learning

Listed 1 item. Up to 26 sales for September. HH

Listed 13. Got 2 offers on others. 1 that makes me want to vomit it's so ridiculously low! These ones make me wonder why people even bother! To say that a 10 g ring with the stone in it and they offer $50. He said because the price of gold is going down! Lol. Right!! I just countered at my listing price. The other one I will counter back but I have sold some decent stuff in the last two days ! EBay has gotten to be like Walmart. Nobody goes shopping till the end of the month!

The first 15 days every month this year have been horrible and the second 15 days of the months have been great!!

That's funny Beachkid. It is the opposite for me. I sold a ton the first week or so in September, and now it has slowed down. 41 sales so far. I hate lowball offers. I liked your counter though. Sounds like what I would have done. :laughing7:

Sold three over the weekend. Low dollar games. Got a bid last night and listed one yesterday.

sent from a potato with gravy!!...

Listed 5 items. Bought a playmobil 5428 western set that I thought was new and sealed in an open box, but some jerk took a pack of figures out of it, so it is listed as parts now. One low ball offer late last night, no sales today. HH

Beachkid23 · Sep 23, 2014

Listed 15. Sold 3 for $665!! Yeah! About time!

JustinNH · Sep 24, 2014

A few more sales/bids. Up to 65 now for the month.

...but...

10000 free listings promo! I have almost 50 unsold to re-list. Halfway done the process. Changed up some titles, prices, formats, etc. I'd rather sell the 'unsold' for less and get some cash flow and clean out old inventory.
First month in as long as I can remember that it took me over 3 weeks to get a listing promo. I've usually had 1 or 2 by now. I wonder if it is because I have more listed and while still a small seller, not as small?

The free listing promos are random. Rarely, they announce a site wide promo, but most times they only go to some sellers. I know there was a large one a few weeks ago many sellers got, but I did not receive it.

If you did, it would be at the bottom of the all selling/my ebay. You should see 50 free (x2) and then the 10,000 promo. If not, then you were excluded. Maybe next time

Bassmaster96 · Sep 24, 2014

Yeah, you should get 50 free listings per month. I listed 2 last night. Sold 1 today.

JustinNH · Sep 25, 2014

Up to 68 sales/bids now.
60 more items than I had a few days ago. Mostly re-lists, but some new ones.

dieselram94 · Sep 25, 2014

Sold one last night. Now I just need buyer to pay. Lol

I hate that! :BangHead:

Had a recent buyer bid on an auction with a few minutes left. Stillhasn't paid 3 days later.
Obviously he knows he won and was online around the end.

I've had people do BIN and not pay for 3 days as well. I don't have a business PP account, so I cannot require immediate payment. It blows my mind how people thing that is acceptable practices. You won, you pay.

Yeah it sucks. I have myself bid on items and won, and after thinking about it I wished I hadn't. But I still pay promptly. I wish everyone would...
