Baseball Cards
Summary: nanokn89 expressed concerns about slow baseball card sales and wondered if a feature called 'See Insights' was affecting card values, asking how to turn it off. krazzykats suggested adjusting settings, but stainlessenginecovers clarified that 'See Insights' is not a notification but rather a metric on listings. dam_764221 noted that slow sales are usually related to visibility and keyword usage in titles rather than insights. Other participants, like tobaccocardyahoo and bonanza125, highlighted the commodity nature of baseball cards, suggesting price competitiveness and demand are primary factors in sales. onefootflipper advised lowering prices as a strategy to increase sales, emphasizing that individual sellers cannot control market conditions or demand.

·1 month agoYou have pretty good sell through rate for a card seller and largely seem to have timeless cards of classic players.
Only thing YOU can do increase sales with that merchandise is to lower your prices. As you can't personally make the card market heat up nor can you effect the economy.

·1 month agoComes down to price and demand. If you are overpriced nobody is going to buy and sales will be sale. Demand is also a factor. Many buyers are not looking for whatever you are offering on Ebay. Sellers use multiple platforms and ways of selling.

·1 month agoA significant number of BB cards sold are either PSA graded or cheap commons.
They are effectively fungible commodities within their condition. Commodities sell based on price.

·1 month agothe Insights estimate can be annoying but it usually isn't what's killing card sales. when cards go slow its more often a visibility thing. cassini ranks on your title keywords and item specifics, so if your titles aren't using the exact terms collectors search (player, year, set, card number, grade) you get buried no matter the price. worth checking your slowest cards against that.

·1 month ago@krazzykats it's Not that type of 'notification'. It is simply a 'thing' that lists on listings of that type.
