There isn't anyone here selling that can't honestly say they don't have items 6 months old, unsold. There are not sellers here who can't say the same about items 12 month old.
This is the reason sellers sell here, and not a store, because a store that does not make money, goes bankrupt. Because eBay is lax and not just deleting listing that do nothing but waste server space, these hoarders get to advertise the junk buyers are not buying. It gets to sit on the "sellers" shelf, in the closet, fill the spare room, eat up room in the garage, fill the storage unit and the shed. It's called hoarding. The junk isn't selling and "sellers" can't part with it for any less. The only person who sees value in all that unsold junk is the "seller" who swims in a sea of "inventory", AKA JUNK they hoard.
Yep, all hoardy hoard hoarders. Doing our thing. Hoardily. Keep on doing your chuckling thing. Whatever you need to feel better about yourself.
Why the opinion of a single poster get under your skin so much. They aren't correct, they just think everything they say is a fact. Don't give them such power over you.

On my six selling accounts, I sell about the same as InHawaii.
I do this by spending about five hours a week listing and shipping.
That works out to about $55 per hour.
The quickest way to double your sales is to delete half of your listings, open up another account, and list the deleted items there.
It's a shame a person has to have six different ID's to make a wage.The poster mentioned that they don't want to pay listing fees so have all of these accounts to spread their items on. It's not that much different than me selling on four platforms. I'm just too lazy to have any more than one ID here.
Having a store is likely less expensive that all the work that goes into managing 4 different IDs with active listing. But just my opinion.
IMHO Ebay has bigger fish to fry right now. They need to be doing more to stop or at the very least significantly slow down scams on this site by both buyers and sellers. There are simply too many and that scares good buyers away. We need to get our hands around this problem before applying some big advertising budget otherwise it will likely just be a waste. IMHO
I agree, but with less labor and about $22 bucks they could do it quicker and easier under one account. Highly likely they can save $22 dollars in their own labor as well as the little discount they get on the FVF. Four accounts requires 4 different email address to monitor. Four different log ins too. I personally think it would be easy to pay that $22 for a basic store in money saved. Just my humble opinion.

I don't know - I'm the one with four platforms (including a basic store here), the other poster has the six accounts here. I would tend to consolidate into one account myself, but sellers have different plans and methods and markets.
I wasn't talking about other platforms. Heck I sell on other platforms too. I was talking specifically about multiple Ebay selling accounts. I have two, but I wouldn't want more than that. My personal choice. I don't want to have to log in an out or have multiple tabs open on my computer using different browsers so I could monitor all my various accounts. But again, just my choice. I'd rather pay the $22. My time and less aggravation is more important to me.
