BEST Weekend for Sales in MONTHS! "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"..............

[katzrul15]

Well..............it has been a GREAT weekend!

We have been busy all weekend and the orders just keep coming in tonight.  I am SO glad I did not turn off the Store yet..........

Hopefully everyone else is seeing sales this weekend??  We are about 14-15 days of shipping left.  How were your sales this weekend?  Hoping they were Good/GREAT!!

Second best week ever and best 30 day tracking and at this rate it will just get better over the next 7 days. Dinnerware and Glassware is flying off my shelves. 7 to 10 orders a day starting Nov 13th.

I wonder where you are selling your items as it appears you aren't selling anything on eBay.  You not have any items listed, nor have you ever received any feedback as a seller.

[katzrul15]

It is a posting ID.  Many of us here use a posting ID.

We have 2 selling accts on e-Bay.  One from 2002 and one from 2009.  We also sell on the Behemoth.

The offers have started that are "conditioned" by saying "I will offer X", if you promise this will be here by Christmas....................

And today is only the 7th!!  🤔

I am about to accept several of these - when is everyone thinking the last day to purchase is for 1st class parcel to be "sure"??  15th?

[buyselljack2016]

Not sure as my items are not things that would be gifts, but as of right now everything that I look at when researching prices before I list shows arrival by Christmas. (eBay promise)

eBay "believes".

They still persist in getting the buyer's hopes up😁

Getting there by,          well..........

Much will depend upon what facilities the item "pass through".

 Sometimes it's just an effort to get it out of the state.

Good To Hear... My sells were also fairly decent for the week. I hope we have a lot more of those to come. Happy Holidays fellow sellers....

I sold too much last month so eBay is back to throttling me.  Oh well.  I'm used to bad Decembers after multiple years of them now.  I'm just glad my non-eBay ventures are going good.

I'm used to bad Decembers after multiple years of them now.

That's been my experience too, even in our B&M shop, December was a terrible month.

Since you know it will happen, you don't need to get upset about it.

Funny that philatelic collectibles and used computers should have the same pattern.

So happy for you all. I'm getting sales again after a few slow to no sale days. I don't sell "Need by Christmas" items so Dec is usually slow anyways. I usually get an uptick in January when people cash their grandma checks and use their nice shiny gift cards 🙂

Keep on keeping on all!!!

Congratulations!   Here, I have 3 sales in 3 days for $35.  The only reason Santa Claus is visiting me is to break both of my legs for not paying back a loan.  LOL   Good luck to us all.   🙂

Those are all eBay screenshots, not USPS.

The second to last one is from USPS but it doesn't show an estimated date in that screenshot, just tracking scans.

This is what I'm seeing on eBay listings:

Okay thanks - I think I will leave my store open until this next weekend and then close down.

We made a 3rd postal run tonight to make the 7pm cutoff as a Buyer said they need it before the 20th and they are in CA.  I shipped 1st class parcel, so hopefully, it will arrive well before they need it to.

Did ask at the counter as there were packages/parcels everywhere and the BINS were SO full!  Was told so far so good, but that other areas were complaining about backups at the sorting facilities.  

I only upgraded 2 today to Priority vs 1st class parcel, but they were pricier items, so would like for them to arrive in time and not be returns.  lol
