PR representation

[sakic92710]

I think I have a new slogan for eBay.  I wonder if they will hire me for their PR dept?  😛  It is an honest & welcoming message for new sellers.  "eBay :  we can almost guarantee 1 sale per week!"   🙂  Started selling on here in 2001 & they almost still maintain this kind of assurance.   lol  Good luck to the new & old!   🙂

According to your sold history you sold 95 items in the last 90 days. You have slightly more than 300 items listed. Your selling almost 1/3 of your listed items every 90 days. There would be many sellers on here who would kill to have sales like that.

Have you tried listing more items?? Maybe if you doubled the number of items listed you would double your sales????

First off, I have a HUGE problem with your math.  lol  I sell about 2% of my listings, if lucky; not 33% !!!   Recently, I had to remove several listings due to new inflated cross-border shipping rates.  I cannot charge $9 S/H on a $5 sale.  Not for US buyers.  I had to remove, patches, sports cards, pins, etc.  Anything small that I used to be able to ship for $3-4.  Plans are to add more & witness the outcome of the effort.   🙂

Not possible at all. Only buyers can determine sales. The day you find a site on the internet that guarantees you sales please let us know, we will ALL be there in a heartbeat.

Wow I had no idea he was selling that much!

Even though he's my buddy,

no more sympathy from me when he comes here once a week to complain about slow sales.   😉

Yes, the "Worldwide Window Shopping Marketplace".

You currently have 336 listings. If you only sold 2% of them in 90 days you would have only sold 7 items. Your sold items indicates you have sold 96 items in the last 90 days. You must have sold 2 today.

He isn't a math genius.   lol   Before this week, I've had 15 sales in 5 weeks (35 days).  Lucky if I sell 2% of my listings.  😛  Until recently, I had anywhere from 630-700 listings.  Removed many of them.  🙂

1% of my 300 listings is 3 a day. Which is about what I do.

If you're doing 2% that's TWICE as much as me!

I should be the one coming here complaining, not you.    LOL

[sakic92710]

My original post was what we call a 'joke.'   Also, I said 'almost guarantee.'  I didn't say they guaranteed it.

I complain about eBay when I'm unhappy & glad to praise the site when things happen the way they should!  lol  Posted 2 items a short time ago & already sold with offers.  🙂  Are my items "in demand"?  Nope.  The right person could see them at the right time.  What if he wasn't in my 'rotation.' ??  They would sit for months?  Anyway, my search for treasures in this apt. continues!   🙂
