Hello! I have been at this selling thing (sports cards) for a little while, and am still baffled about whether my listings are good, what causes my listings to get viewed/watched, what seems to bump up the listing on searches and so forth. It seems like there are MANY super-savvy sellers here and I was hoping to get some advice.
Some specific questions related to getting to the top of searches:
1. How important does it seem to be to have many pictures of the item (usually more than 2 seems like overkill, but sure, hey, I can take 8 pictures)?
2. How important does it seem to fill in all of the little details/questions that get asked (I usually fill in a bunch but there are many that I can't imagine will make a difference in a search)
3. How useful is doing the "promoted" thing, and at the rate they recommend?
4. What other factors seem important--posting a lot of new items? Being a top seller? Selling a lot of things? Putting things on sale?
Overall questions:
1. Any tips about when to post (days/times)? Using sales/markdowns? Things to put in the title?
2. Other tips that seem to draw in customers?
Thank you so much for any hints/tips! Feel free to also look at our listings if you feel like it. We also just opened a starter store yesterday for a month to see if using the markdown/sale thing helps---we haven't decked it all out yet, though.
Any advice SUPER appreciated and all the best!
