I don’t know the answer to this question…

When given monthly free listing do you end one’s current listings for a day or so & then immediately relist them hoping to shake up some sales?  Or just leave them alone to sit there?

 

Your welcome discussion please!

Every time a listing is Ended and Relisted it costs an Insertion Fee (Free listing).  If one has the extra Free Listings then that's okay.

 

Using the Sell Similar feature instead of Relisting an Ended item creates a NEW listing AND that NEW listing will have the NEW LISTING note on it for about 24 hours

IMHO a lot depends on category ... if items are in saturated categories, then regardless of what one does it may or may not make any difference at all.

 I use Inkfrog as my listing tool.  They have a widget that will end your listing BEFORE they renew automatically.  I then relist in batches throughout the week.  If you have old stock IME using the same item number will eventually bury the items on page 2000

IMHO...

 

If you are not getting views you may want to re price and relist.

If you are getting views than it may be as easy as a price adjustment.

Using promoted listings will help increase your visibility but obviously will cost more to do.

 

Clear accurate descriptions with clean detailed pictures are key along with competitive pricing. (lowest or near lowest price) 

 

Your listings look great (pictures and descriptions) BTW

I have had mixed results from this. Usually I look for the items that have been sitting for WAY TOO LONG. I usually assess whether there needs to be a slight price drop then drop and end and sell similar. I also look for the one’s that have very little actual views or watchers and then do the same thing.

I know some of my stuff will take awhile to sell, so I just list and forget it.

Have a great day.

I don't believe in the re-listing thing just to "shake things up".

I don't do it but I know lots of sellers who swear by it.

The one thing to consider also is to look for what might be showing on Google search because they tend to favor a more stable listing. I have sometimes seen some really old listed stuff pop up on Google and then scratch my head and wonder why it does not sell.

I often end a listing after about 60-90 days and then relist with sell similar.  I find it helps a bit with vintage and collectibles.  My guess, and this is shear speculation, is that there are some people who peruse newly listed items in those categories.  But you always need to keep an eye on your free listings so that there are always enough free listings available to cover newly acquired inventory.
