End and Relist Small Quantities

[pls-consignments]

Got a question for sellers of larger inventories... 

Anyone having success ending/sell similar just small quantities on a daily basis? For example, is there a benefit to doing say 50/each day vs 1500 one day per month?

Although I haven't done it lately, I have no problem ending and selling similar on 20-30 items a day. Sometimes I seem to get more sales when I refresh my older listings like that. Other times it doesn't make a difference.

Not a larger seller..........but my logic (which certainly may be imperfect) would be listing every day would  reach more buyers because not every buyer is searching on the one day you chose to list 1500..........  You've got a better shot at 30 days of "new listings" placement rather than one day........

I've never seen any solid evidence (even through my own experimentation) that ending/relisting benefits at all.

And ... ending a listing and making a new one puts it at the back of the queue for being updated in the index, so if you end and relist, you are almost guaranteed not to have any sales of that item for 24-48 hours.

I realize that it takes a day to index. However, I do notice a bump in views each time I end/relist just 100 at a time. That's why I try to focus on length of time and views/watchers in picking them. I'm more concerned if there are any negative affects of doing so "daily"?

My thoughts are any activity on a seller account can be a good thing. Whether listing new items, ending and relisting items daily or weekly, adding new photos, adjusting prices down (or up), rewriting titles or descriptions. Also starting a promotional campaign or adjusting the percentage up or down, or ending a promotion for a day then starting a new one with the same merchandise a day or two later at a different percentage has helped me in the past. (Not always, but enough that I regularly rotate through them).

Have you tried ending some listings, waiting a few days to relist the group and creating a promotional campaign just for those listings?  I often have 3 or 4 promotions running for different categories of merchandise at different percentages.

I don't know if eBay AI takes notice and gives you a boost or if the changes made to listings improve the visibility.
