Sales

[vicaa_81]

How many of you out there are experiencing very slow sales this year I sure am?

[adamcartwright]

My sales are fine. Better than my average last year, but not quite as good as my best months.

I've been trying to work that algorithm within an inch of its life in any way I can.

what are some of the ways?

You make your $$$ when you buy.  Not always whwe you sell. IMHO Of-Course.

What is working well for you as far as manipulation?

Care to share?

I'm doing the usual stuff, but more consistently -- listing every day, sending offers with reasonable discounts, adjusting prices, adjusting titles, ending and selling similar, shipping same day/next day.

I find it interesting reading thru posts like this. Since I am a new seller, I like to see what other seller think of sales rate this year. My sales have been going up and down, one week I will have 20 sales, the next, 2. 🤔😀

Copy that. Works for most of us. I was going to work listings today and instead, opted for gardening.....

thanks. I need to do more work on my older listings I think.  Lately sending offers has been less productive, maybe if most watchers are now other sellers like those I think are watching a batch of specialty DVDs I just listed.  I've started "relisting" as selling similar and shipping more quickly (usually).

 What is your idea of slow? Looking at your sold history you've had 166 sales in 90 days. That seems pretty good to me.

Not for 5500 listings it's not

It's a bookseller who doesn't wear a bow tie and have a glass case with first editions

Welcome to Ebay.  Sales typically goes up and down for everyone.  Keep in mind there are around 2 Billion active listings at any one time.  That is a lot of competition.  Far more listings than we had on the site a decade or so ago.  It certainly keeps us all on our toes.

Down 33% compared to same period last year .
