·1 month agoI would sell those squishy toys as they had a problem here in US with children putting them in the microwave oven and getting burned when they explode.
Cartoon diamond paintings sounds like a lot of fun and great for relieving stress. I would purchase them.

·1 month agoIf "cartoon diamond paintings" and "squishy toys" are so great, why aren't you out there selling them instead of posting about them here?
Marketing effectively on eBay? List, list, list, and you could promote them as high as possible to put yourself at the head of the list. If you don't list, you can't sell.
Creating bundles? Sure, if they are of different values. Bundle the cheaper ones together.
Niche hobby items? They are all different. My experiences at selling niche hobby items would not be the same as yours.
How's the weather in China?

The problem with selling trending items, one has to be ahead of the curve. You should be seeking the next trendy item, not grabbing the tail of the trend passing by right now.
