eBay

I am out of ideas at this point items that retail for 12.95 I have on sale for 4.99 free shipping they cost 2.77 to ship plus the envelope

I have many items below cost and lotsa watchers

In 4 days my truck wont be registered my rents will be due my ebay fees will be due my website is off because I cant pay for it my phone is past due

10 of my items say they have contact information which they dont

I have 434k in inventory and cannot go anywhere because i dont have any gas in my truck

I have tried other sites yardsales swap meets etc....

I am truly discouraged I cannot make it on 500 per month in sales especially with returns

people on social sites have come here looking for my items and cannot find them I dont get it

Are our insertion fees enough to keep eBay happy ?

I have to sell stuff or my account will be suspended for the fees I incur with no sales

yes I sold a seat and a drop hitch this month but I had to buy materials and leather is not cheap and the hitch weighes almost 30 pounds

I hope this is not my last post

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the seat

luckythewinner, that long list of sales from September 9th may be old. If they were GTC listings that the seller ended on September 9th they would show as sold on September 9th in the sold history. If the seller sold items from the GTC listings 1 day or 10 months ago would not matter, they appear as sold on the day the listings are ended in our view of sold history.

I don't know if that's what happened here but it could be why the seller says sales were much lower than what can be seen in sold history.

I agree, the metrics available from "sold listings" is terribly skewed. I also have "sold listings" that were actually ended listings. Also, only about 40% of what I actually sell shows up in sold listings.

I truly wish i had an answer for you on how to sell $2000 in 4 days. Anyone able to do that would be an ebay genius, out doing it themselves. But still sorry to hear of your plight.

My only advice is to caution you on the psychology of dropping price points too low. Too low and potential buyers ask themselves what is wrong with the product. Or bottom feeders start circling. So price competitively and fairly. If the buyers are there, they'll find you as they have in the past. Hopefully sales will pick up heading into the holiday season. Good luck to you.

I am and I havent purchased anything in 18 months !

Are you only using eBay for your online sales? You said customers from social media are unable to find your listings....have you considered selling ON social media? No fees involved there other than payment processing fees....
