Help finding a thread from yesterday.

[tweetystwades]

I was reading a thread yesterday about someone that was also having slow sales issues. They said they called ebay and they told them not to use sell similar when creating new listings, to create from scratch. I also remember something about refreshing the listings through bulk listing editor.

Does anyone remember this post, and can you help me find it.

Thank you!

Thank you! That one covers a lot, but was not it.

You could check your computer history to see if you find it there by remembering the title when you see it.

Go to the arrow at the top of your screen pointing to the left, hold to see history, choose see full history at the bottom and click on it.  You can scroll through and hopefully you will see it.

I did a google search under don't use sell similiar ebay, but couldn't find it.  You can also do a Board search using those terms.  I didn't find it that way, either.

I tried everything and could not find it. It was late when I read it, I do not remember the title or the user name

And you couldn't find it just by going through the list of thread titles? I always (well, almost always) sort by the date the thread was started--not the date of the last post. Just click through everything posted yesterday.

I guess since you said you'd tried everything, you've already tried what I suggested, but it's all I got! LOL!

HI, I didn't read that "ebay said" to not do sell similar as I would think that goes against their listing tools. Lots of replies on threads to NOT re-list, Don't do GTC, do a brand new listing from scratch, and others have said to use the Advanced tool since using that one you can also check you do not want a best offer just randomly applied by ebay without your knowledge. The refresh using Bulk Editor? I have no clue.  I don't use eBay listing tools, but do follow the threads here. HTH. Am sure someone else will come along and correct me lololol. But I tried.

I know this does not answer your question, but:

I don't start from scratch. I often sell recurring items that I have multiples of. (when I have them)

For those I use relist as it seems that I have read that it shows a "sell through" history that helps in search placement.

Apologize, BuySell. I forgot about the part expressed on this Forum, if you Do list from scratch, it "erases" out what maybe some watchers have been following. But by listing fresh, you are in a better placement in search. But my take on that...if there is interest, they found it before, they will find it again. And to me a lot of watchers are usually competitors anyway. JMO.

Sometimes good to erase if no sell through. It has been said the no "sell through" keeps lowering the item in search

Sorry, that was not it either, but do appreciate the help.

So, it looks like there is no consistency when it comes to reposting. How do we play by the rules when we do not know what they are. Ebay has the relist tool, but told not to use that. Yesterday missing post, said ebay just told them not to use sell similar.  I know I'm asking for trouble, but what is the best way? I think I was making more sales by using relist, I'm using sell similar now and didn't sell anything for 5 days.
