sales

[1kul57]

I have store with over 850 good items.. One item has sold in over 90 days. I have been a member for over 17 years. I depend on this income. I receive SS period. I have had open heart surgery and a few others. I am not looking for a hand out just for items to sell so I can acquire groceries and pay bills. I am always getting fee subtractions,I need help.

We all have nonthly bills and they have to be paid on time. This last winter months the electric alone was 2500. For the most part it is month to month and you can fall behind.

I have no reason to doubt what you have written. If you are really month-to-month, my advice would be to get ahead. Imagine putting your store on a big sale – 25%, as another seller suggested.

What would you do with $75,000 in cash? Wouldn’t it be nice to get ahead? The stock that you have isn’t doing anything for you unless and until it is sold. Don’t worry about what you paid for it, don’t worry about what you imagined that you would make on it many years ago. The peace that comes with having a large emergency fund, paying off any bills that you have, etc. Is priceless.

All I can say is hang in there. It's been difficult to sell higher priced items lately, but things could turn around for you very quickly. I admit I haven't read the whole thread, but it looks like you've gotten many responses and advice from eBays finest. Avail yourself of their wise council. I wish you best of luck.

Every item is "Best Offer" and the offers are half if not more and are accepted.

Best offer doesn't mean the seller will accept a 50% reduction in price.  The two simply are not or should not be the same.

I personally don't use Best Offer.  IMHO it sends a signal to the buyer that I have my items overpriced  and therefore will consider taking less for them.

That, Sir, was totally uncalled for.  I do not appreciate being accused of drinking and using drugs; I do neither.   You, in your own words, spat out lies and completely wrong information and are trying to damage MY reputation.

I wish you the best and hope you overcome whatever problems you are having.

Why do I get the feeling that someone has just hacked a dormant seller account... 🤔

I had already seen all that stuff on the internet when I mentioned it in my post.  Also, In one of his feedbacks, the buyer called him "Bruce" so that indicates he is the same person.

Thanks for the followup and posting all that.

Initially I was sincerely concerned for you from your initial post.  As time went on and you started responding to some of the posts, that has since gone POOF.  I don't think that should or will have any impact on you, but you are clearly way out of line in some of the stuff you have said.  You come here seeking help but have shown that you have no appreciation for anyone that does not agree with you.

It is hard to learn anything new with a myopic approach not to mention a serious disregard for anyone else.  Again, I don't think this post will have any positive impact on your, I just wanted to make sure you knew it did not go unnoticed.

With probably over a million dollars in eBay inventory, you shouldn't be doing too badly, even if overpriced.

FYI - They are allowed their opinion.  Relax. You aren't the speech police.

[oldwestcoins]

Why criticize people's replies? They are trying to help. And you? A true Mod doesn't criticize or try to be the speech police. Allow others to share their opinions, please. 

[oldwestcoins]

Agreed. If the truth stings a little, so be it. The OP came here looking for suggestions. Good or bad, that is what should be given. Thanks for your posts. All truthful.
