Great response. I have been a Seller now on eBay for all of one Month. The learning ‘curve’ is bigger than I have ever seen (Amazon Associate for over 20+ years) on eBay. With the Auctions I have placed recently, I ‘learned’ a great deal. I sell distinct items and the first thing I did with my Auctions is sell one of each item that I have much more of. The sums from these Auctions I received were less than spectacular. No real competition from the Buyers for these singular items. 7 long days does not translate into more excitement. Or larger audiences. I saw that the items I placed sort of just stopped at a very low price. But, of course, I knew I could not do a thing. That I would have to ‘grin and bear it’ and simply ship the item(s) off at a very low price.
What I learned is that I would simply NOT sell another of the same item, at least not until Silver is say $50 an ounce. Then and only then would an Auction be worth my while. After all I am interested in Profit. Not just selling one because some relative died and left it to me, or otherwise.
I went to the BIN (Buy It Now) and priced things much, much steeper than the casual buyers/sellers approve of on eBay. I don’t mind these items Not Selling. I can keep them up there until they do. So I ‘learned’ all right.
I am still learning and boy, eBay is a very interesting place! Very exciting it is to sell on eBay. I hope that someday I am as successful as a great many of you.
