Good to hear from you! You've sold five more than me!

Yeah, but I bet your sales value beats mine. Hopefully it will pick up for everyone.

Lol! It's possible, however in the last sixty days I've only sold about $220 with on eBay.

Okay, maybe I do have you beat.

How do you pop the auctions out so fast? Even with the wording written up it still takes me forever.
That said, I got 6 auctions up today. 2 were items I bought yesterday!

If you use a smartphone it only takes a couple minutes per listing including takin pictures. The more you do the faster you get. Some items if the barcode is present you can just scan them and list them in 30 seconds using the stock listings. This is great for DVDs , video games, books

I'm basically only doing jewelry. I am a perfectionist. I look up how much the item sold for. How many completed auctions there were. How many are up now, and what they are going for, so I can under-cut them. I have the same basically wording that I cut and paste, but it still takes me time to fill in the correct spots. Then there are the nights I take pictures. I take them until my phone dies.

I did mark almost every single auction down just now. I have a -$5, -$10, -$25, and -$50. I hope I get some good sales this weekend. I need to pay my CC bill. (I have to stop buying!)

Do you go by the same seller name on eBay? I found a seller by that Id but no items for sale.

Listed 34 more... Listing on my site and my wife's. Selling on hers has really helped to build a savings account. Plus I can't buy stuff I want off eBay. She gets an email saying what I bought, I get in trouble!

Are you selling same types of items on her account?

No, like junk. Lol. Stuff I've had sitting for a long time. I'm going to put mostly jewelry on my site but on hers it's going to be toys, random miscellaneous things, antiques basically everything else. Just going to grab it off of the shelf or out of the boxes listed at $.99 and let it auction. There's something big around the corner coming up and I need to make room...

Mines going to be watches, jewelry, coins and higher-end things. I'm not sure if it looks cool but I don't like having gold jewelry and $10 hats on the same site. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I think it's just preference. Or my OCD[emoji624][emoji389]

 

[dieselram94]

Yeah that makes sense. Can you pm me a link to the other auction ?

I think that's a solid strategy, Beachkid. My dad moved in with us recently and he's disabled and bored, I'm in the process of setting him up with an account & showing him the ropes. Between things sitting around here and the general constant accumulation he will have no shortage of tchotchkes/small electronics/NOS items to list. It also serves the purpose of keeping those things off of my eBay, as I agree that it looks better to have just fine/estate jewelry listed if that's your focus.

How's everyone doing? Justin have you started full time yet?

Really slow sales month for me. Spent last weekend tailgating & then kayaking. Then spent Monday through Thursday camping at the beach. Too whupped to list anything today. Tomorrow is another day of tailgating & if the weather holds Sunday will be kayaking again. Don't think I'll meet my monthly sales goal for the 1st time this year. Guess I'll have to hit it hard next month to make up for being a slack a**.

 

[Bassmaster96]

I'm down to 45 or so. I've got to get more listed. Justin is probably selling so many he can't get on here.

Do they button on the right or the left?
Jk. Idk.
Sadly, I had to put my whole store on vacation until Oct 7. I can't risk my top rated status, and yes, it does count against you if you don't ship out in the promised time. Too many days I won't be able to ship.
Now I have to promise myself not to buy!
