List stuff every day. That seems to be what's working for me at the moment. 10 seems to be the magic number. How many listings you have doesn't matter - Ebay is going to squeeze those listings into the same number of views unless you've got other things going on. This is what I've been doing:
- List 10 items a day
- Periodically comb through old stale listings and put them into a clearance sale. I do 40% off and still take offers. The idea is to move it out and getting 25 cents on the dollar beats tossing it in the trash.
- Price to sell. Research your item and price it 10-20% below other prices. The more stuff you can sell in the first couple of days the better.
- Forget sell similar, etc. Those don't do a thing.
- For auctions, I put a lot of stuff that isn't worth listing alone in lots and start them at 9.99. I relist twice and if it doesn't sell it goes in the trash.
- Source good stuff. Be picky. There is a lot out there. The load I'm currently working through is very dirty, meaning lots of physcial dirt but also a lot of junk I can't sell. I took that into account when I made my bid. There is some really good stuff in it and some nice surprises so far and I'm halfway through
Also as an aside, you obviously have a lot of stuff if you have than many listings. I find that I need to make a decision on an item while it is in my hand - list individually, list in a lot, or toss it. Other wise I'm working in a junk pile.
