Hi,
I'm current have about 1k2 active listing. I'm planning to upgrade to Anchor store, and increase the number of active listing to 10k listing.
My question is: If I increase number of active listing 10 times like that in a short time, let say, 10 days (1k listing/days), would it effect my account in any negative way?
I heard that if you have to many listing without sales/view, it effects your store overal ranking, and you will show up less on search result. Anyone can confirm/ or denied that? I also heard the similar thing about delist, like if you delist more than 10% of your active listing/day, you will get a huge decrease in sale.
Thanks

I don't think it will have a negative effect on your account at all.

There is no effect like you described. As a full time seller with lots of transactions daily I will advice you to think about how you will handle the extra business. Can you handle 10 times the sales in the same time frame? Think about how long the average sales takes to
If the average ( I know all items take a different time frame but use an overall average) time frame is say 15 to 20 minutes per package to complete all the way through, that means you can do 3 or 4 orders per hour. If you are shipping 30 plus items a day like I am that means 10 to 12 hours a day just for packaging incoming orders.
The best advice I can give you is this. If you are planning a much bigger presence here at eBay then the only way to succeed is to plan for success. Do not wait until it happens.
Good Luck Selling!

Along with all the good information, hints and suggestions that goodluckselling provided, also figure in personal and family time, schedules, obligations and requirements, as well as having standby help and figuring time needed in the event of medical, weather related, extended family related emergencies and the like.
(personal opinion - your mileage may vary)

Thoughtful advice for sellers who are not dropshippers. OP is a dropshipper.

I thought that might be the case when I was assembling my post, but I went with it just the same. I guess I should have looked at there items.
Thanks for the heads up.
Good Luck Selling!

I saw the tax for Mass. and the warehouses around the country. Maybe FBA.
Even so, some of us know that 'personal' issues can crop up at the most ducedly inconvenient times!
A solo dropshipper could be in a world of hurt.
