Re: LISTING PER DAY

It doesn't matter how many you list.

I examined this market before.

Each day on ebay about $200 worth of Ceylon tea sells. About 75 percent of it is from Sri Lankan sellers ($150), although there are about 1000 of them splitting up this market and many of the sales are sold at a loss from sellers trying to build their business. 

To compare, I am 1 person in a wheelchair and I do about $400 a day in sales. 

Ceylon tea is one of the worst items to sell on ebay. There are 32,000 listings and only 2,000 units sold in the past 3 months. That means only 2 percent of Ceylon tea listings have a sale each month.

Find something that NO ONE in your country is selling and sell that. Otherwise you are just going to lose money. I would suggest looking for old or antique items unique to your country, literally no Sri Lankan sellers are doing that. They are all trying to sell tea or leaves or drop shipping things from China.

Well noted. I just stepped into this market as my first to understand the situation first. And you are absolutely right. I have been already thinking about the idea that you gave me. I hope to work into that quickly. Thank you very much for your valuable sugesstion.

Yes there are limits for new sellers.  Ebay wants you to prove that your focus here is to be a trusted and proper seller.  They want you to follow the rules and policies that they post, be accurate with your pictures and descriptions.  They want you to ship your items timely with no issues.  

 

Ebay will also hold your funds from any sales for up to 30 days.  This is to ensure that if the buyer is not satisfied with their purchase because it was not described correctly, never received and they file a return, the money is there to refund the buyer.

 

Here's some links you  can check into:

Have a great day.

New sellers normally get 3 items a month to sell when they first start out.  In my opinion it's the right way to go. 

 

Have a great evening!

Here's a link you can look at to see what the going rate is for Ceylon Tea in the US:

https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/ceylon-tea

 

 

There are other sites you can google as well to give you an idea of prices.  

You might want to stay competitive and re consider the price you are asking for the tea.  $30 is very high. 

 

Happy Selling.

@inhawaii   Discover cards are US-only.

I don't think any non-US bank issues that brand and Moneris will not process them outside the USA.

Re: LISTING PER DAY

After Payoneer let you know you were sucessfully linked to eBay how long did it take eBay to send you an email saying you're all set to sell? It normally takes eBay 2-4 weeks after linking to eBay to get the email giving you the go ahead to sell, and I was wondering if eBay had improved on the wait time.

Re: LISTING PER DAY

It actually doesn't take that much of a time now. I was able to list items in the next day after linking my payoneer to eBay.

 Gotcha. I was just giving him an example to state what forms of payment customers can use rather than saying "managed payments".

Under your payments section, you have We Accept Payoneer.

Payoneer is not a way for buyers to pay, that's the way you get paid.

Have A Great Day.
