Are you able to keep up with all your on line sales lately ?

Tongue-in-cheek, I would say.

Absolutely, very easy.

Well its the weekend so lets all hope sales start rolling in again. I'm sure you remember the old days where you were up half the night still packaging 🙂

Yes but it involves a lot of walking.

Dodging snakes and alligators.

Barefoot.
Uphill.

In the snow.

I have been averaging about 3 sales a day.  I am not using promoted or sponsored listings or anything remotely related and views on my listings have gone up steadily for months.

1.  Do not invest your own money when purchasing things to sell.  Start with monies made from the profit of an item you already have sold, and keep reinvesting those profits in new merchandise.

2.  Pick your customer demographic carefully.  I sell (on another eBay account) to a well-educated and financially well-off customer base.  In 23 years of selling I've not been scammed once and have had a single return.

3.  Price your items so that the customer pays your eBay fees.

4.  Finally, become a top rated plus seller by offering same day or one-day shipping and paying for returns.  The benefits are unbelievable.  But you MUST be consistent.

Some people just can't spot sarcasm when they see it.    😉

Well sometimes it is made difficult if they aren't familiar with the poster posting the sarcasm.  IMHO best to label it as not everyone knows you.

Yep. With only the one hand, sadly...

[lawnmowerpartsstore2]

I get that 😓

This is how I operate, except for number 1; I also buy additional inventory with my own, separate income.   I've grown tremendously in the last 2 years with my goal to have an anchor store by this time next year: this is when I expect my shawdow ban to lift.

You're not the OP though, so you can't know for sure whether it was sarcastic or not.

[toomuchstuffagain35]

As a seller with 2 day handling, sometimes the choice comes down to

1.there's only 3 to go tomorrow so I should do them today.

or 2. there's only 3 and they don't have to go until tomorrow so why bother.

All of that is absolutely true @toomuchstuffagain35 .  But your post was directed to me, so I thought you were asking me.  I had no way of knowing that you were addressing the OP.
