·2 weeks agoInsertion Fees:I always hear that you should post at least 10 items a day otherwise eBay won’t give you the viewership well how can I post 10 items a day if I can’t go over 250 a month I’m confused

OP2 weeks agoToo many fees, then they get you by surprise that you owe an extra fee on Accrued Selling Costs. Us sellers work so hard on trying to give the buyers the best deals by selling our items in-expensive for them, everyday I end and sell similar items, and upload new listings. I look at other selling platforms and there selling fees are not as much as eBay's and I make just as much sales than I do on eBay. My strategy is for eBay to out rank the other selling platforms by helping the buyers get more sales daily. Then I wouldn't complain about the selling fees. You still haven't answered my first questions, on why my bank was charged Accrued Selling Costs so that I could avoid the cost next time.

·2 weeks ago@letflo.56_4 STOP doing the Sell Similar everyday, every time you do that you lose history on the listing. And what kind of "accrued selling costs" are you talking about???? If you are Promoting and mean that for the Accrued selling fees then stop Promoting.
You set your prices to cover your Cost, eBay fees and most importantly your profit margin. If they don't sell for that price, then maybe they aren't the right thing to be selling.
I never try to be the lowest priced item on eBay, I set my prices as explained above. Sometimes I am low and sometimes high but over time the items sell.
