So lets see if I can get a peek into the future, and see what eBay will be pushing in the Boot Camp.

[timemachine777]

In no special order:

Use Seller Hub data to determine your growth potential, Shipping: 1 day handling time, Guaranteed 3 day delivery, 30-60 day free returns, Free shipping, Labels, GSP, Use eBay-branded packing mat., Expedited shipping.

Make sure the buyer is always happy. Best offer, eBay store, use eBay pricing suggestions, Use mark down manager, use eBay Promotions, Buy ad campaigns, use Cross promotions. Use social media to send people to eBay. 

Use all the characters in the titles with focus on keywords, Add a description that describes the item as if you have no photos, data, use professional photos and add 12 photos. Also use catalog stock photos.

Use Seller Hub data to monitor and revise your listings and adjust them as recommend by eBay.

Does anybody else have some insight to add.

"Does anybody else have some insight to add."

I can boil it down... Be the lowest price with free shipping and guarenteed returns or your listings will never be seen.

Everything sounds about right except those with the highest prices will stay on the bottom and never sell a thing. Those are the sellers who will be here complaining and blaming Ebay that buyers will not purchase their items.

I want to know what rank we will be given going in and how many pushups,  errr listings we have to do, what is the graduation to--------top rank school? 

[hioctane62]

Focus on the "modern buyer", as opposed to us old fogeys who apparently don't know how to shop OR sell.

Good question. 1 Star? Enough listings that would require the opening of an eBay premium store.

Yeah, the older we get, the more all thumbs we become when it comes to the younger generation. Oh, wait...I forgot (senility is sitting in), All thumbs is how we use devices nowadays.

Get off my lawn, kids these days, got no respect for their elders.

ebay has no clue what age or group we are in.

I could buy a baby gift for someone in their 20's

Or Depends for my 90 year old mother in law.

Or a fishing lure for my brother in law

And dang it, stop showing me little black dresses.

But these data points mean nothing.

They are random hits on the map.

TIME...

Thanks for reading this.  And thanks  for the Summary.  Now I do not have to  read this myself.    These staff emails---always manage to tick me off.

Every time you mention little black dress, eBay's dumb AI is going to flood you with them. Earlier today I mentioned "make up" and "video games" in my GenZ post and when I went to the main search search page via the above eBay logo link, I was greeted by loads of listings for them and other items related to words I used in other posts over the past few days.

Hey eBay, I'm not interested in buying any of these things that I type about in my posts, and Sock Monkey doesn't want to buy any little black dresses.

I'm glad I have my tin foil hat nearby. Definitely need it reading some of these posts. Whoppers for sure.

Sell everything at 50% off.

If anyone’s price is lower than yours then lower your price.

Offer FREE shipping but don’t factor the shipping cost into the selling price.

Offer FREE returns for any reason for 12 months.

Opt in to Guaranteed Delivery. Even though no carriers will guarantee delivery.

Go to the post office at least 3 times per day.

If you don't have a store, open one and be sure to sign up for a year.

If you already have a store, upgrade your store level.

Promote, promote, promote!

Do it the eBay way..... even if you lose money!

Do it any other way and you will be punished with low search standings and sales that are down 50% from last year.

eBay might have some Burger King ads with your name on them.
