eBay

NWT Items and for almost year we had three sales at some reasonable prices 50% or less than retail. So we dropped our prices to rock bottom 75% of retail still no sale, so then we offer 10% off of that we finally make 3 or four sales over each of the last few months but still every thing we made went to eBay. By the time we paid our store fee and eBays 10%, the postage (which is the highest cost for us as a seller), not to mention labels and envelopes, we made nothing. We are just not selling enough. I think we will cut our losses and run.

Anyone interested in buying our stock. 151 items and few not listed I will let you have them at $3 each you pay shipping.

Just not worth paying eBay to give our stuff away or pay eBay to have a store that makes no sales.

We will be ending our store but keeping our selling and buying privileges. I will take the most expensive Items and list them for best price we can get and everything else will go into the Big Spring Yard Sale. $5 rack does pretty good almost always sellout at the end we give it all to Goodwill or the Animal Shelter Thrift store.

Those brands have actually sold well over the last 3 years so you are wrong. Most of those sales are in the Bible belt. There are other styles we sell only in California and others only in NY but those two areas have slowed down. Right Now our Florida Sales are up 75% of our sales in the last three months have been to Florida, 10% in Texas.

We have Linda Allard which are great retail sellers, we have two skirts they sold in store for $165. these skirts have watchers (vultures really) the skirts have been marked own from our original $29.99 to $15 these are very low prices. it is not about what we are selling as it is about cheap A$$ People.

Like I get such low ball offers on items that are already so low in price. I fee like I just I want to send them a note that reads like this, "I am so glad you really like the Item I will tell you what, I will just give it to you and an BTW I will pay for the postage, the advertising, the label. and the packaging, give you my time, my gas to drive it to the post office, and tear and wear on my car. So that you can have it for FREE!" Because when it comes down to it so far that is all we are doing giving things away and paying eBay to do it.

We lowered everything down to drive up sales this was eBay's suggestion and it drove up our sales so that at least the sales cover the store. We still have not made a penny when it comes down to brass tack (tax). We are tired of fighting people for bulked NWT Closeouts actions. We are tired of traveling to make bids on bundles of NWT clothes, to find out the clothes in the middle of the bulked items are not equally represented by those on the surface (you are not allowed to open the bundles). Everyone is allowed to look at the bundles and then place a bid. We learned later some people know the people bundling the items and knew which ones to bid for always wonder why they show up never look and always bid.

It is your prerogative to accept or reject advice given, of course. But just wanted to express that it was not meant as an affront, but an effort to address the concerns you brought to the community. It sounds like you are beyond burned out, so wish you well on your next journey, whatever that may be.
