Casey, you are the man! Have been following you since you were driving around hitting pawn shops and garage sales. I am 75 years old and have piddled around with online sales for several years. Have a decent retirement but with todays economy it's getting harder and funds are not going as far, I needed to step up my operation. I maintain, around 600 listings and on average sell 1 or 2 per day. After watching your video yesterday, I changed all but a few listing to Best Offer and sent out offers on all that were eligible. ATM I have 9 items to ship and 6 of those were after I made my changes. Now to increase my listings and hope this streak continues. Thank you for your great videos and all you do for the reselling community! Reply
I do it all. One thing that increased my sales is to offer better shipping cost using other carrier. And I list items 3 times a days. I save drafts, list 1 item in the morning, 2 after lunch and late in the afternoon list another item. This way I’m “poking” ebay algorithm few times a days and send offers. Sales went from 2 a week to every day sales and for the first time Im Top Rated Seller as a part time seller. Pretty excited! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
What other carriers do you use? I've used FedEx, but my results with them have been mixed to say the least. I've never lost a package or had anything arrive broken while using Canada Post. But shipping costs really are a problem for some items.
I have been doing those three things and it helps a lot! I'm surprised that you only send offers twice a day. I send out offers several times a day, and it increased my sales! Thank you, Casey, for everything you do to help resellers! You rock Rockstar!
Doing all 3 Casey!! It helps for sure!! That said, I do wish the ability to send offers was a bit more predictable or within our control vs. when Ebay says when the time is to strike. Thanks for the reinforcement and motivation!!
I'm sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean by you wish the ability to send offers was in your control. I thought it was. Is this something that is different with a store?
I never send offers, I never promote, and I never use OBO. I have no problem selling at least 2 out of 3 items I list. If you list junk and price too high, you won't sell. The rest is BS
I agree with everything you said!! I do all 3 and I see the difference on days my eyes are tired and I cant be on the computer. Sending offers the same day they watch the item makes a HUGE difference!!
How do you know when someone watches something though? I’m used to Poshmark where I get notifications of every action. But I just passed 500 items on EBay and there’s no way I can check every item and try to remember how many watchers it has. Am I missing something?
I do the first two and now I will add the third. I went from selling 5 to 10 items per month to 60 to 70 and climbing steadily... ebay is my secondary platform which will become my primary by end of the year... the other platforms will become secondary... have a great week😅! Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Canada!
I do mostly 1 and 2....offers on everything, I'd say offers (accepting and sending) are really the biggest chunk of my sales anymore. My items are sourced from picking, swapping, or friends and family cleaning out that know what I do and are too busy to take things to donation, or don't want to be bothered with loading/unloading. I sort, donate and sell what I can. Time and tape are my biggest investments...my main goal is to get it out the door. I don't do too many sales, need to start.
I have been doing all three and I occasionally get sales from it however I don't have many popular items. Majority of my listings are plush which gets a high margin of profit but takes longer to sell. So, I have been using E-Commerce to start listing lots of my vintage glass and other desirable items that I am sure will begin to increase my sales. Having said all that, it is true that no matter how many items you have listed, if the sell through rates are very low or the items are not fast moving types, sales will not increase by much no matter what tactics used.
I was thinking of hiring your service. When I read about I finally realized, I don’t mind listing but the photos are a nightmare. You helped me. My husband sources so many things for very little money, I had to ask him to stop for a while. Thanks
Carole in UK Wow! LOL! I passed two out of three in your test. I just need to run sales as never tried it. Great tips from you and reading the comments has been helpful to me too. Thank you
Great content. Thanks so much. I’m a little seller 200 items tops for now. I do all except the store suggestion since I don’t have one yet. I thought you might tell the smaller sellers to do Sell SImilar before the item Relist automatically. I try to catch them before they relist so Sell Similar get the item listed as newly listed. Also today I just noticed when you End a listing and Sell Similar the listings NOW is deleted from the Unsold category. That’s great now I don’t have to manually delete it after I End the listing and Sell Similar. Sorry for the long message😊
I used to have at least 1 thousand items on eBay and a premium store subscription then I downgraded to the basic subscription this year because of sloooow sales. all of a sudden I went from selling at least one a day to no sales at all for days, weeks.. frustrating
I did have a store but I cancelled it because the sales were so down. I did not want to lose more money. I did not know what to do to increase my sales. I even ran sales but that didn't even help
I do these things now, and it does help. But I do this because I buy my items at the right price in order to be able to offer discounts and sales. My personal experience is that most sellers need to become better buyer's of what they're selling.
Do you have, or can you do a quick tutorial on how to run a sale in your store on ebay? Also, I have heard of sellers having continuous revolving sales, i.e., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% then back to 10%, and wondered how they do that? Thank you in advance!
@@Beatz0-dn9pj eBay doesn't put many items out there and keep pushing them back in their metric's. The extra percent paying to boost listings is a fraud. The ads have to be out there for people to see it. That is the whole purpose.
You get 250 free. If you go over you get charged like $.35. So after 14 more items 264 you would be spending the cost of a starter store. After like 315-320 you should have a basic
Sold 3 things today from doing just that, been doing it since starting back up though. Higher end items too! I have under 100 items listed on eBay too!
I just started selling and came to this video because I have a few watchers and saw the eBay notification that said "Send offers to your watchers" so I wanted to know whether it was a good idea to do that or not. As someone with no experience selling, I'm tempted to NOT send offers because I'm afraid if I do, someone would have bought that item at full price had I waited longer. But I know I can possibly get the item out the door quicker if I send an offer. So there's a pro and a con to doing it
Thanks for the awesome tips in this video. Just started selling on ebay in July. Sales have been rather slow so far, so I'll implement the your first two tips and once I have over 350 listings I'll get a store and add the sales strategy. I'll start trolling your past videos for more tips. Any you suggest I watch?
I do the first two all the time. As for the store wide sale, I actually see a down tick in sales overall when I do that, not sure why. I hardly ever get sales from those discounts I offer so I might do it twice a year if I am in a rut. Never works but I try anyway. It’s no different than sending out or doing best offers so there’s hardly a point to it. Just my thought - been at this 6 years.
i do 15% offers every morning to 50 items. i either do it to 50 items with most watchers or highest price. i didn't do this til 4-5 months ago ever, i have a TON of items on ebay. at first i was able to send 200 a day. now i do 50. when i first started i had about 14,000 items with watchers. now i am down around 3000. i may try doing sales, i tried a few times in the past but i forgot it existed. my sales did increase when i started sending offers.
thanks for the information i already do all three things expect for the last one because i don't have store but will go in and edit all listing to lower price but still do't get alot of sales eveb though i've good rating from buyers. i figured it's probally the items i'm selling it's mostly media items like music cd;s and books and vhs
I do all 3. I typically offer 10% off for watched items. Do you think that's a good starting point or should I try to offer more off if I have the room? Thank you!
Guilty....I do 1 & 3 but never have sent offers. What is considered a reasonable offer when sending offers to watchers 10%-20% off? I've tried 20%, 30% and 40% off sales and had weak responses. So my biggest mistake is running a sale for a month. Oops
I only have that button come up for offers like once or twice a week it doesn't look like I can offer it if they don't give me the button also on promotions I don't have a promotion item button I'm below standards but I can't get above standards if I can't promote my items so figure that out
I do everything except run sales since I don't have a store yet (only have 300 listings so far), but I have been offering bulk offers at 10%-15% off. I do accept buyer's offers but what drives me crazy are the half price or more offers I get on Like New condition shoes. I turn on Best Offer always, but I do not set a minimum price because I figure that's what people are going to offer if you set a number.
I have been contemplating switching to an eBay store. How do I figure out whether or not to change to a store. I have been. Selling on eBay since July 2022.
Its SOLEY based on how many listings you have. After 250 you start getting charged $.35. starter store is $5 a month (still 250 free so kinda pointless). basic store is $24 a monthish. so thats the point you want to get a store (you get 1000 free listings). so after about 300 or so listings
Do you mean the feature and the words "best offer" in the title and description??? All my items are best offers . Promos, markdowns,, freebies,, quality merch, beautiful pics, low prices, bundles, sending offers every day,, accept offers. trying everything. Sales still not VERY good for all the work I'm doing. How do I send offers out unsolicited becauseI I would send them all day???
I like the send offer to watchers. But when I click on it even though in listing it says I have 6 watchers it will only send offer to 1 watcher. Any idea why that is please/thank you Casey🙂.
You should already have one. 250 free, means your paying fort 75 listings at $.35 each or $26.25. for $24 you could have a basic store and 1000 free listings + free shipping supply coupons and other perks
We have to realize that we're selling used items. We can't complain about goodwill if we're doing the same thing to our customers. Especially if we got the item for free.
I'd like to know when to get an eBay store. I've been listing since January. I have 183 listed items and 11 solds. Lately I have been listing about five items a week. I also sell on Mercari for about a year now. I have 41 sold on Mercari. Thank you.
Ebay gives you 250 free, after that you pay $.35 each... first store is $5, so 14 items over (264) is better to have a store.. basic store with 1000 free is $23 give or take or around 315 listings.
30% of my sales are from sending offers to buyers. When my 8-11% sale on my store ends, my sales tank. I keep a sale on almost all the time. I set it to end and restart during the night a couple times a week.
Casey, I don't have a store. I sell best offer, off of my cell phone, no computer, no laptop. How do I do a sale? I have no clue. Thanks for your help!
So I started about a month ago. I’ve had up to 200 listings. I have 54 sales. $600 profit after fees and shipping. When should I get a store? All items I have sourced from my house or friends. Paid zero for items
It costs $.35 after you go over 250 free listings.. so 264 is worth $5 extra in fees or just get a starter store... then at 314 you are paying $23 in fees and can get a basic store wirth 1000 free listings
I am playing with opening a store. I probably should but I'm just not positive of it. What formula do you use to determine if a store is the right way to go?
I run a sale on all my items every weekend (friday night to monday morning) and once a week (around wednesday) I send offers to all eligible items. I wonder if I should send offers more often.
Unfortunately my account is so new that ebay won't allow me to send offers or at least that's what they tell me!, but they at least allow my customers to send offers to me 😮
I have been on ebay for just over one month. I am a clothing reseller. I have 245 active listings and have sold just over 100 items so far. I try to list around 5 items a day (i am a part timer because i have a w2 job) I am curious is a store a good idea, what tier is good for me at this level? Thank you!
I though Ebay WON'T let you "double your sales", -assuming you're not a new seller. Their logic was that they don't know if you can handle processing/packaging/mailing with the sudden increased sales. For example, if I have 1,000 listings and I'm making $1,000 per month, and then I double my listings to 2,000 hoping to make $2,000 per month,....well, Ebay HATES that strategy and will algorithmically halt your increased sales to a limit of 16% or something,...so you'd make $1160.00 in sales that next month instead of $2,000.
I've heard this from a couple people over the last few years who have relationships with Corporate Ebay People, -so it's technically hearsay,...but it definitely rings true. I grossed 200k in 2020 with 1400 listings on average,...now with 3500 listings I'm on pace for only 250k,...but there are many factors to juggle, -2020 was the easiest year to sell. I've had eight $1,000 sales days in the last 30 days, -the few days that I had $1,000 in sales before noon, i would go the rest of the day with almost no sales or offers....as if my listings were 90% shadow-banned....as if they were "capping my sales" for the day. Who knows@@heftylefty78
This is a long message so I will have to put the second half in the first reply to my post. But below I explain below in back of the napkin math how these decisions should be made as the numbers can be deceiving. I explain a hypothetical small eBay business scenario where if you have enough cash on hand you should scale your inventory instead of trying to make deals for a lower price. In the scenario I get around $138k in profit for a hypothetical small business in 2025 that scales inventory over the next few months to 2,000 items listed. And I only get $76k for the same business in 2025 if they don’t scale and 1,000 but lower prices. I also explain how in the short term of how much additional money will be made over the next month or couple months vs keeping prices high. Basically you will deep in cash if you keep prices up, but if you have the funds you could potentially recoup the 15k need to build up the business by peak with the improved sales volume. This scenario assumes only a 5 dollar drop in price would keep demand at current levels. It also assumes that demand would only be 50 precent if prices stayed the same. This is a little extreme but not to unrealistic for used clothing resellingZ. Changing price a few dollars vs scaling ect when your sell thru demand changes should be modeled in a spreadsheet, or at least like the back of the napkin math I use in the scenario below. I like the idea of pricing high, and then reaching out to viewers with a best offer closer to what you would have originally sold for. But if you are doing so to essentially lower your prices and increase throughput on average you have to run the numbers. I would recommend doing so in a spreadsheet model to ensure that it makes sense to drop prices vs just letting your inventory storage grow. This is especially true when assuming demand will start to increase as we get closer to the end of year peak. In some cases it might make sense to lower prices like if you have a short term cash flow issue or you are close to max capacity in a storage warehouse. But it might actually cost a lot of money for someone to do that long term.
Part two of message: Here is the example scenario. Let’s assume that someone has been selling for the last several years at a fairly consistent 100 items a week at a 30 dollar sell point during off peak and 250 items sold at 35 dollar per item during the last three months of the year at peak. For simplicity we will assume they have consistently keep 1000 items on average that are actively listed throughout the year to hit those numbers. And that the seller just hires 1 full time seasonal worker along with one part time worker during peak to maintain that 1000 active listing total throughout peak. Now let’s assume that demand has gotten much worse this year, and for that same seller they only get 50 precent of the sales per item when listed at that same $30 off peak 9 months price and $35 peak 3 months end of year price. Let’s assume a COGS, fees, shipping, ect average at $10. Let’s also factor in around S1,500 dollars a week to pay their peak seasonal employees to help increase throughput to match sales those last three months of the year. This means the seller will only make around $1,000 profit with the same prices but reduced demand vs past years at $2,000 profit a week. So during the 9 months of off peak demand or the monthly profit is about $4,300 per month vs $8,600 profit for off peak months in past years. That again is with a 50 precent reduced sell through rate if they have around the same 1,000 active items listed. And for peak that means that number is around $3,125 vs last years $6,250 a week before employee pay. Now that means you are getting after $1,500 for one full time and one half time employee $1,625 profit a week vs $4,750 after employees. Again that is with peak staying at $35 dollars but dropping to 125 sales a week with 1000 items listed vs 250. So in that scenario let’s assume you scale back and only hire the part time employee and are back to making $2,625 a week. That is closer to $11,300 per a month profit at peak, vs $20,500 in previous years per a month. Now obviously if you keep your prices high you inventory level will grow, but because most people have a tendency to lower prices soon after they have a dip in sales it is important to look at that scenario as well first. So now let’s assume if instead they had lowered there price by doing best offers to $25 off peak and $30 peak and then they were then able to maintain there original sell through rate of 100 items off peak and 250 items peak per 1,000 items listed. That would mean for the short term they would see their numbers partially recover to $1,500 profit per weeks or $6,450 per month. And with 1.5 employees at peak they would be around $3,500 per week profit, or $15,000 per month profit at peak. So by doing best offers and selling items for a lower price the seller would have in the short term made around an additional $1,700 per month for the same short term work if they lowered there prices during off peak months, and they would have made an additional $3,800 per month than they would have if they had kept there prices hire with lowered demand. Now obviously sales would have gradually increase over time as the inventory volume would have built up if they were listing the same number of items, but there was a lower weekly sell through. But for the first 3 months or so after a noticeable demand drop a cash strapped eBay seller would have to worry about losing around $4,000 to 5,000 grand the 3 months off peak if they didn’t slash prices even if they were adding month inventory and thus gradually increasing there sales back to the original volume. And at peak that could mean at least a $10,000 dollar short term profit loss if prices are not lowered. But let’s make a reasonable assumption that if you built your listings back up to 2,000 items per week you would be back to selling at the same throughput but at the higher price you had been selling in Previous years. If a seller has an effective simple storage system using a sequential number box inventory method they should be able to fit 1,000 items like clothing onto only 2-3 additional storage racks. In this scenario the listing throughput and their pick, pack, and shipping numbers would be about the same using this method of storage. Pulling 100 items from 2000 items listed in number order over 6 storage racks is almost as fast as picking from 1000 items in 3 storage racks. So if there is room in their house or storage facility to scale to 2,000 items this would mean spending about $150 on storage racks. And that would mean buying about 1,000 additional items over the next few months to list, and let’s assume a high number like $500 dollars for storage bags and labels and boxes, ect. Let’s say the decrease in demand is hitting people for the first time right about now. And lets they were able to hire their temporary seasonal workers 3 months early starting early to mid august. Given that those workers produce 150 items extra per week at a $1,500 dollar rate they would be able to list 1,000 additional items in around 6.67 weeks. Which will cost about $10,000 dollars of additional pre peak labor to ensure that inventory is back to 2,000 items so with 50 precent demand sales would stand a good chance of being back up to there original level. Now if the seller is cash strapped to maintain positive cash flow prices could be reduce for items as they sit in inventory a little faster than they previous years during the inventory pre peak build up period. And best offers could be made to also help drive cash flow. But depending on how much cash you have in reserve you might be better off not lowering prices at all or at least splitting the difference and aiming for an average $27 or $28 dollars for sales in the short term as you build up. This might mean pre peak sales would increase so you might need to hire extra temp employees 10 to 12 months before peak to ensure you get fully rambled up to 2,000 items rather than just 6-7 weeks out as you would be selling through a higher percentage inventory during the pre peak build up. So therefore you would need to spend about $10,000 in labor, $5,000 in fees to build up that extra inventory as a one time investment. Let’s round up and assume the racks, boxes, storage baggies, ect., will go for around $1,000. And then let’s assume another $5,000 dollars in annual listing fees by maintaining a higher number of listing fees. I am not sure on that one but seems like a reasonable guess if using a lot of 30 day auctions form a store. Now with this information we can compare, with back of the napkin math, if it makes sense to start sending a bunch of offers to people to sell at a lower price vs scaling the inventory. For simplicity let’s assume that the seller has cash on hand sitting in their business account from their last several years of nice steady state profits. This would mean that the seller would be by peak selling at a $20,500 per month profit vs $15,000 if they just lowered their prices. And by the end of the three month peak they would have already saved $16,500 in profits that they would have lost by just lowering prices and doing more best offer sales. Unless they are listing high and then sending offers to their original prices. This would mean that by the end of the year you would recoup the extra cost of building up your inventory with $500 dollars extra to the bank. But you would have also gained 1,000 items of inventory that only needs to be picked, packed, and shipped. In total sense we have already counted the COGS in that $15,000 above that is like adding another $25,000 to $30,000 to the business in inventory value. Now assuming that in the next few years that sales demand stays at 50 and the seller decided to just go back to 9 months solo and 3 months with workers like they did before the dip in demand. With 2,000 items listed they would be back to $8,600 for the 9 off peak months, and $20,500 for the three peak months or 138,900 total profit expected with low demand but scaled to 2000 active items in inventory for 2025. If the seller just lowered prices and did not scale they would be around a $4,750 profit per month the first 9 months of 2025, and then at $11,300 for the 3 peak months. That would be $76,650 in total profit. So in addition to losing almost half their profits in 2025 they would not have gained the extra 1,000 items to their inventory. If those profits were reinvested into the business to grow the inventory another few thousand items and a additional couple of employees could be brought online full time it is possible they could get to a few hundred thousand in profits per year. Now if that is invested wisely that could turn into millions of dollars over the course of a few decades. So in the above scenario as long as the owner has cash to be able to operate with increased expenses they should try to scale their business so they can at least maximize their own throughput. And most importantly a seller should run the numbers in an excel spreadsheet before making major strategic decisions about their business. You want to estimate cash flow and what your profit would be. It may seem like it is not that big a difference but a couple dollars in labor cost or product price is like change compound interest percentages by a few points. Modest short term effect, but massive longer term financial implications.
I'm interested in whether or not I should convert to an eBay store. I try to maintain 250-300 items so if I do a store, it seems the cheapest option is the only one that makes sense but it also seems there isn't much benefit. Thoughts?
This video is all talk but I wish would actually show how to use the site. I can't find out how to send my watchers offers. I am on the active listing page and under "quick filters" there is a button that says "send offers-eligible (773)". I click on it and get a spinning wheel and nothing happens. Is that the button you mean?
#1- the video is all talk? Yet I tell you what to do. The fact that you can’t find it, oh wait you did find it and it’s glitching. Try on another browser. Close and reopen. Contact eBay. That’s it. 🙄🤦♂️.
@@RockstarFlipper Yeah I found it but a picture would help and a video would be even better. The site is always changing and hard to use even after 25 years on the site. I still don't understand how to send more than 50 offers at a time. You do it daily so yours don't build up to 700 like mine did. Is there a way to send 700 offers at once or do I have to do them in batches of 50? I didn't mean to sound ungrateful or like a jerk but telling someone where a button is sometimes doesn't cut it. The site is so busy with buttons and links anymore it can be confusing. I didn't mean it was "all talk" as in all BS. I just meant there are no pictures or videos. It is like telling a woman to open the hood of a car and disconnect the negative battery cable. 90% can't even find the battery when it is right in front of them with two big wires on it. Everyone that has used ebay at some point in time can't find a link or button because they moved it they just can't find it because they can't find it.
Question-if I b have say 30 items with watchers and send offers to all of them… then come back the next day, will those 30:items still be listed as items with watchers and therefore be “eligible” for me to send offers to again? I don’t want to just keep sending offers to the same people over end over again. How do I know when there are NEW watchers
How can you do a sale if you're barely making any money the way eBay takes it and you have to pay shipping I don't know how you can run a sale and come out ahead if I want to give stuff away I would just keep it
PLEASE make sure you comment below if you start doing 1 of these things or ALL of them, and how much it helps your sales.
Casey, you are the man! Have been following you since you were driving around hitting pawn shops and garage sales. I am 75 years old and have piddled around with online sales for several years. Have a decent retirement but with todays economy it's getting harder and funds are not going as far, I needed to step up my operation. I maintain, around 600 listings and on average sell 1 or 2 per day. After watching your video yesterday, I changed all but a few listing to Best Offer and sent out offers on all that were eligible. ATM I have 9 items to ship and 6 of those were after I made my changes. Now to increase my listings and hope this streak continues. Thank you for your great videos and all you do for the reselling community!

You are among four resellers on YT that I actually trust. You are always truthful and realistic. Thank you for that.
Thanks a million!! There are a bunch of great youtubers and I'm thankful you watch here
I do it all. One thing that increased my sales is to offer better shipping cost using other carrier. And I list items 3 times a days. I save drafts, list 1 item in the morning, 2 after lunch and late in the afternoon list another item. This way I’m “poking” ebay algorithm few times a days and send offers. Sales went from 2 a week to every day sales and for the first time Im Top Rated Seller as a part time seller. Pretty excited! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
What other carriers do you use? I've used FedEx, but my results with them have been mixed to say the least. I've never lost a package or had anything arrive broken while using Canada Post. But shipping costs really are a problem for some items.
I have been doing those three things and it helps a lot! I'm surprised that you only send offers twice a day. I send out offers several times a day, and it increased my sales! Thank you, Casey, for everything you do to help resellers! You rock Rockstar!
i usually do it 2 times a day if not 3
Doing all 3 Casey!! It helps for sure!! That said, I do wish the ability to send offers was a bit more predictable or within our control vs. when Ebay says when the time is to strike. Thanks for the reinforcement and motivation!!
I'm sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean by you wish the ability to send offers was in your control. I thought it was. Is this something that is different with a store?
If it wasn't for offers we wouldn't sell anything
I would say it’s 50/50 for me.
I never send offers, I never promote, and I never use OBO.
I have no problem selling at least 2 out of 3 items I list.
If you list junk and price too high, you won't sell.
The rest is BS
@@Crazykid23188HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHA-What a fantastical experience you must have.
@crazykid23188 but how much volume do you do? How many listings do you have?
I agree with everything you said!! I do all 3 and I see the difference on days my eyes are tired and I cant be on the computer. Sending offers the same day they watch the item makes a HUGE difference!!
How do you know when someone watches something though? I’m used to Poshmark where I get notifications of every action. But I just passed 500 items on EBay and there’s no way I can check every item and try to remember how many watchers it has. Am I missing something?
In your active listings there is a column for watched items that shows the number of watchers@@sharynrae1895
I do the first two and now I will add the third. I went from selling 5 to 10 items per month to 60 to 70 and climbing steadily... ebay is my secondary platform which will become my primary by end of the year... the other platforms will become secondary... have a great week😅!

What do you sell?
@@lindafeldman8587 I sell clothing, shoes, collectibles, vintage items and other... I am an everything seller lol 😆 😂 😅
I do mostly 1 and 2....offers on everything, I'd say offers (accepting and sending) are really the biggest chunk of my sales anymore. My items are sourced from picking, swapping, or friends and family cleaning out that know what I do and are too busy to take things to donation, or don't want to be bothered with loading/unloading. I sort, donate and sell what I can. Time and tape are my biggest investments...my main goal is to get it out the door. I don't do too many sales, need to start.
I have been doing all three and I occasionally get sales from it however I don't have many popular items. Majority of my listings are plush which gets a high margin of profit but takes longer to sell. So, I have been using E-Commerce to start listing lots of my vintage glass and other desirable items that I am sure will begin to increase my sales. Having said all that, it is true that no matter how many items you have listed, if the sell through rates are very low or the items are not fast moving types, sales will not increase by much no matter what tactics used.
This is fire 🔥 info thanks brother 🙏
Glad to help!
His suggestions are 🎯 TRY IT💰🙌
Thank you for your great content!
I was thinking of hiring your service. When I read about I finally realized, I don’t mind listing but the photos are a nightmare. You helped me. My husband sources so many things for very little money, I had to ask him to stop for a while. Thanks

Wow! LOL! I passed two out of three in your test.
I just need to run sales as never tried it.
Great tips from you and reading the comments has been helpful to me too.
Thank you
You got it!! Thanks for checking in from the UK
Thank you, your advice increased my sales over the last week 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thats awesome!!
Great content. Thanks so much. I’m a little seller 200 items tops for now. I do all except the store suggestion since I don’t have one yet. I thought you might tell the smaller sellers to do Sell SImilar before the item Relist automatically. I try to catch them before they relist so Sell Similar get the item listed as newly listed. Also today I just noticed when you End a listing and Sell Similar the listings NOW is deleted from the Unsold category. That’s great now I don’t have to manually delete it after I End the listing and Sell Similar. Sorry for the long message😊
Thank you for this suggestion. I was wondering how to get my items get back on top.
I used to have at least 1 thousand items on eBay and a premium store subscription then I downgraded to the basic subscription this year because of sloooow sales. all of a sudden I went from selling at least one a day to no sales at all for days, weeks.. frustrating
Sorry to hear :-(
I did have a store but I cancelled it because the sales were so down. I did not want to lose more money. I did not know what to do to increase my sales. I even ran sales but that didn't even help
I do these things now, and it does help. But I do this because I buy my items at the right price in order to be able to offer discounts and sales. My personal experience is that most sellers need to become better buyer's of what they're selling.
Awesome content as usual 😊 I'm doing this now and see if it helps me. My sales have been very slow. Thanks again!!!
Thats amazing it worked so fast
Do you have, or can you do a quick tutorial on how to run a sale in your store on ebay? Also, I have heard of sellers having continuous revolving sales, i.e., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% then back to 10%, and wondered how they do that? Thank you in advance!
This video- th-cam.com/video/8fXsJyMR61Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Nepn2e1Qekqlwpfc
Sellers can schedule things like. 10% off 1st-7th. 20% off 8th/16th. Etc eyc
I just started selling on eBay 2 weeks ago and I wasn’t sure what to do with watchers. Thanks for the good advice!
You got it!!
I have always had best offer on, WHEN I see send offers I do them immediately, and have to get better at running sales.
Wow as soon as I did this I made a sale 😊Thanks again!!!
Thats awesome! cant deny it works
Glad I saw your video. Markdown Event coming Labor Day Weekend!!!
BAMMMM it will work
Thanks for the tip your house looks nice as heck yes offers help alot
Thank you!! We love it in this house
Just sent offers for the first time with great success. Feel foolish that I did not do it sooner! Thank you.
NICE WORK!! It def works!
Also, do you have a video on tracking inventory for its purposes? I need a spreadsheet or app suggestions or maybe you should create one and sell it🙂

I've 343 items and not sold an item in 29 days. A few days ago ran a 15% off sale except on a few items and nothing is selling. It's the pits.
It has to be your items are just entirely to high. Or bad items.
My guess is you price things at what they currently are, and not at the price of what they are currently sold for
@@Beatz0-dn9pj eBay doesn't put many items out there and keep pushing them back in their metric's. The extra percent paying to boost listings is a fraud. The ads have to be out there for people to see it. That is the whole purpose.
Any sale under 30 percent a buyer usually won't even fool with
Great insights. Thank you! When does it make sense to "open" a store on eBay?
You get 250 free. If you go over you get charged like $.35. So after 14 more items 264 you would be spending the cost of a starter store. After like 315-320 you should have a basic
Sold 3 things today from doing just that, been doing it since starting back up though. Higher end items too! I have under 100 items listed on eBay too!
VERY NICE!
I just started selling and came to this video because I have a few watchers and saw the eBay notification that said "Send offers to your watchers" so I wanted to know whether it was a good idea to do that or not.
As someone with no experience selling, I'm tempted to NOT send offers because I'm afraid if I do, someone would have bought that item at full price had I waited longer. But I know I can possibly get the item out the door quicker if I send an offer. So there's a pro and a con to doing it
Hi great video eBay doesn’t allow me to send offers that way ever in years I think it’s a glitch super frustrating
Contact them.
Awesome! Well said 👍
I do all things they work And good Content I like more of this
Thanks for the awesome tips in this video. Just started selling on ebay in July. Sales have been rather slow so far, so I'll implement the your first two tips and once I have over 350 listings I'll get a store and add the sales strategy. I'll start trolling your past videos for more tips. Any you suggest I watch?
I do all three and it does help with sales
I have best offer on everything in my shop, and also send best offers as well. It does help sales!!
I always do the 3 things. Thanks for the video.
I do the first two all the time. As for the store wide sale, I actually see a down tick in sales overall when I do that, not sure why. I hardly ever get sales from those discounts I offer so I might do it twice a year if I am in a rut. Never works but I try anyway. It’s no different than sending out or doing best offers so there’s hardly a point to it. Just my thought - been at this 6 years.
I sell a lot when I have sales.. I only do it for 3 days over the weekend though
i do 15% offers every morning to 50 items. i either do it to 50 items with most watchers or highest price. i didn't do this til 4-5 months ago ever, i have a TON of items on ebay. at first i was able to send 200 a day. now i do 50. when i first started i had about 14,000 items with watchers. now i am down around 3000. i may try doing sales, i tried a few times in the past but i forgot it existed. my sales did increase when i started sending offers.
Thank you !
thanks for the information i already do all three things expect for the last one because i don't have store but will go in and edit all listing to lower price but still do't get alot of sales eveb though i've good rating from buyers. i figured it's probally the items i'm selling it's mostly media items like music cd;s and books and vhs
Great info! Thanks
Thank you!
I rarely get sales from sending offers but I still send them out daily , can't hurt
I do all 3. I typically offer 10% off for watched items. Do you think that's a good starting point or should I try to offer more off if I have the room? Thank you!
Thanks for the advice
Guilty....I do 1 & 3 but never have sent offers. What is considered a reasonable offer when sending offers to watchers 10%-20% off? I've tried 20%, 30% and 40% off sales and had weak responses. So my biggest mistake is running a sale for a month. Oops
Depends on the item. but def 10%-15% without even blinking an eye. items that sat awhile. more
I only have that button come up for offers like once or twice a week it doesn't look like I can offer it if they don't give me the button also on promotions I don't have a promotion item button I'm below standards but I can't get above standards if I can't promote my items so figure that out
Started a store and it kind of died. I been working through a massive deathpile so my items dont have a ton of sell through rate but im trying.
If you watched this and said to yourself “My prices are too low to do this.” Raise them and then do this, you will most likely still get more sales.
Also, please tell us why we should have a store.
Because you get to run sales, free shipping supply coupons, customizing. Etc
Plus you save on final value fees. And more free monthly listings
@@josh_graff So why wouldn't everyone do it?!
@@lindafeldman8587 it’s not worth it for people just selling a couple low dollar items a month.
Help!!! I'm nervous to get started! Why? I don't know. I have the stuff, just can't seem to DO IT!
Just list ur shit lol. Day 1 is always the hardest
I do everything except run sales since I don't have a store yet (only have 300 listings so far), but I have been offering bulk offers at 10%-15% off. I do accept buyer's offers but what drives me crazy are the half price or more offers I get on Like New condition shoes. I turn on Best Offer always, but I do not set a minimum price because I figure that's what people are going to offer if you set a number.
Hello Casey, thanks for the great information. What are your thoughts on shipping? Thank you Loretta B.
Always make offers and probably 50% accept or counter then I accept. I definitely need some help deciding if I should get a store!
over 264 listings - get starter store. over 314= get basic store. over 400 get premium
Question? If I never sell anything, the full asking price are my prices too high. I sell a lot using best offer, sales, and coupons.
Could be. We would have to see the items and pricing
I have been contemplating switching to an eBay store. How do I figure out whether or not to change to a store. I have been. Selling on eBay since July 2022.
Its SOLEY based on how many listings you have. After 250 you start getting charged $.35. starter store is $5 a month (still 250 free so kinda pointless). basic store is $24 a monthish. so thats the point you want to get a store (you get 1000 free listings). so after about 300 or so listings
Thanks, I just sent some offers
Did it work?
I do all but the sales. I only do a sale on major holiday events. Other than that. I dont see much of an increase in sales during non holiday sales.
It works for us alot
@@RockstarFlipper For sure! Every store is different. :)
Do you mean the feature and the words "best offer" in the title and description??? All my items are best offers . Promos, markdowns,, freebies,, quality merch, beautiful pics, low prices, bundles, sending offers every day,, accept offers. trying everything. Sales still not VERY good for all the work I'm doing. How do I send offers out unsolicited becauseI I would send them all day???
Good Ideas doing 2 of the 3
I price it up, to allow for best offer and it's paying off....
Same
I like the send offer to watchers. But when I click on it even though in listing it says I have 6 watchers it will only send offer to 1 watcher. Any idea why that is please/thank you Casey🙂.
I will try it
I have 325 active listings. would it be worth it for me to have an ebay store?
You should already have one. 250 free, means your paying fort 75 listings at $.35 each or $26.25. for $24 you could have a basic store and 1000 free listings + free shipping supply coupons and other perks
We have to realize that we're selling used items.
We can't complain about goodwill if we're doing the same thing to our customers. Especially if we got the item for free.
LOL true
When should you get a eBay store ?
I'd like to know when to get an eBay store. I've been listing since January. I have 183 listed items and 11 solds. Lately I have been listing about five items a week. I also sell on Mercari for about a year now. I have 41 sold on Mercari. Thank you.
Ebay gives you 250 free, after that you pay $.35 each... first store is $5, so 14 items over (264) is better to have a store.. basic store with 1000 free is $23 give or take or around 315 listings.
@@RockstarFlipper thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Breaking it down like you did is very helpful. I appreciate your help.
30% of my sales are from sending offers to buyers. When my 8-11% sale on my store ends, my sales tank. I keep a sale on almost all the time. I set it to end and restart during the night a couple times a week.
Is there an advantage to stopping and starting your sales every few days as opposed to just running one continuous sale?
Casey, I don't have a store. I sell best offer, off of my cell phone, no computer, no laptop. How do I do a sale? I have no clue. Thanks for your help!
You need a store to run sales.
That is why I tuna new Sale every 24hours
So I started about a month ago. I’ve had up to 200 listings. I have 54 sales. $600 profit after fees and shipping.
When should I get a store? All items I have sourced from my house or friends. Paid zero for items
You get 250 free listings, then it costs $.35ea. so get a store around 300 items
What does it cost to get a store? I’ve been selling for about 7 months. I do offers and maybe 15% of people buy on an offer. I do 2% promotions.
I have hesitated on having a "store". What is formula to know if I should have one. I sell as a side hustle.
It costs $.35 after you go over 250 free listings.. so 264 is worth $5 extra in fees or just get a starter store... then at 314 you are paying $23 in fees and can get a basic store wirth 1000 free listings
I am playing with opening a store. I probably should but I'm just not positive of it. What formula do you use to determine if a store is the right way to go?
I send out offer to likers multiple times a day. A huge portion of my sales are made from either me sending an offer or buyer making an offer.
Same. 2x a day if not 3
I run a sale on all my items every weekend (friday night to monday morning) and once a week (around wednesday) I send offers to all eligible items. I wonder if I should send offers more often.
Absoolutely as much as you can
Do you recommend mark down sales in preference to promoted listings?
What is the most effective percentage off to get best conversion for offers sent? 5% or %10 or more?
You know what will increase sales?
Quit listing junk 😮
LOL can't argue with that
I do best offer and send offers. I also will hit "like" to an item I am interested in waiting to see if the seller sends me an offer.
Offers are 50% + of my sales
Running a month long sale and promote higher is only thing that seems to increase my sales
Unfortunately my account is so new that ebay won't allow me to send offers or at least that's what they tell me!, but they at least allow my customers to send offers to me 😮
I have been on ebay for just over one month. I am a clothing reseller. I have 245 active listings and have sold just over 100 items so far. I try to list around 5 items a day (i am a part timer because i have a w2 job) I am curious is a store a good idea, what tier is good for me at this level? Thank you!
You get 250 free listings a month, once you go over by like 15 its best to have a store, then around 315 you should get the basic store. tons of perks
@@RockstarFlipper thank you!
I though Ebay WON'T let you "double your sales", -assuming you're not a new seller. Their logic was that they don't know if you can handle processing/packaging/mailing with the sudden increased sales. For example, if I have 1,000 listings and I'm making $1,000 per month, and then I double my listings to 2,000 hoping to make $2,000 per month,....well, Ebay HATES that strategy and will algorithmically halt your increased sales to a limit of 16% or something,...so you'd make $1160.00 in sales that next month instead of $2,000.
I've actually thought this. Is it true because I've trying to double my sales but it never has happened. Not sure what I can do to double my sales.
I've heard this from a couple people over the last few years who have relationships with Corporate Ebay People, -so it's technically hearsay,...but it definitely rings true. I grossed 200k in 2020 with 1400 listings on average,...now with 3500 listings I'm on pace for only 250k,...but there are many factors to juggle, -2020 was the easiest year to sell. I've had eight $1,000 sales days in the last 30 days, -the few days that I had $1,000 in sales before noon, i would go the rest of the day with almost no sales or offers....as if my listings were 90% shadow-banned....as if they were "capping my sales" for the day. Who knows@@heftylefty78
Please I heard the word eBay To many times
I have a question about when your buyers received the items, but broken. Is there any insurance or does USPs have to reimburse?
This is a long message so I will have to put the second half in the first reply to my post. But below I explain below in back of the napkin math how these decisions should be made as the numbers can be deceiving. I explain a hypothetical small eBay business scenario where if you have enough cash on hand you should scale your inventory instead of trying to make deals for a lower price. In the scenario I get around $138k in profit for a hypothetical small business in 2025 that scales inventory over the next few months to 2,000 items listed. And I only get $76k for the same business in 2025 if they don’t scale and 1,000 but lower prices.
I also explain how in the short term of how much additional money will be made over the next month or couple months vs keeping prices high. Basically you will deep in cash if you keep prices up, but if you have the funds you could potentially recoup the 15k need to build up the business by peak with the improved sales volume.
This scenario assumes only a 5 dollar drop in price would keep demand at current levels. It also assumes that demand would only be 50 precent if prices stayed the same. This is a little extreme but not to unrealistic for used clothing resellingZ.
Changing price a few dollars vs scaling ect when your sell thru demand changes should be modeled in a spreadsheet, or at least like the back of the napkin math I use in the scenario below.
I like the idea of pricing high, and then reaching out to viewers with a best offer closer to what you would have originally sold for. But if you are doing so to essentially lower your prices and increase throughput on average you have to run the numbers. I would recommend doing so in a spreadsheet model to ensure that it makes sense to drop prices vs just letting your inventory storage grow. This is especially true when assuming demand will start to increase as we get closer to the end of year peak. In some cases it might make sense to lower prices like if you have a short term cash flow issue or you are close to max capacity in a storage warehouse. But it might actually cost a lot of money for someone to do that long term.
Part two of message:
Here is the example scenario.
Let’s assume that someone has been selling for the last several years at a fairly consistent 100 items a week at a 30 dollar sell point during off peak and 250 items sold at 35 dollar per item during the last three months of the year at peak. For simplicity we will assume they have consistently keep 1000 items on average that are actively listed throughout the year to hit those numbers. And that the seller just hires 1 full time seasonal worker along with one part time worker during peak to maintain that 1000 active listing total throughout peak.
Now let’s assume that demand has gotten much worse this year, and for that same seller they only get 50 precent of the sales per item when listed at that same $30 off peak 9 months price and $35 peak 3 months end of year price. Let’s assume a COGS, fees, shipping, ect average at $10. Let’s also factor in around S1,500 dollars a week to pay their peak seasonal employees to help increase throughput to match sales those last three months of the year.
This means the seller will only make around $1,000 profit with the same prices but reduced demand vs past years at $2,000 profit a week. So during the 9 months of off peak demand or the monthly profit is about $4,300 per month vs $8,600 profit for off peak months in past years. That again is with a 50 precent reduced sell through rate if they have around the same 1,000 active items listed.
And for peak that means that number is around $3,125 vs last years $6,250 a week before employee pay. Now that means you are getting after $1,500 for one full time and one half time employee $1,625 profit a week vs $4,750 after employees. Again that is with peak staying at $35 dollars but dropping to 125 sales a week with 1000 items listed vs 250. So in that scenario let’s assume you scale back and only hire the part time employee and are back to making $2,625 a week. That is closer to $11,300 per a month profit at peak, vs $20,500 in previous years per a month.
Now obviously if you keep your prices high you inventory level will grow, but because most people have a tendency to lower prices soon after they have a dip in sales it is important to look at that scenario as well first.
So now let’s assume if instead they had lowered there price by doing best offers to $25 off peak and $30 peak and then they were then able to maintain there original sell through rate of 100 items off peak and 250 items peak per 1,000 items listed. That would mean for the short term they would see their numbers partially recover to $1,500 profit per weeks or $6,450 per month. And with 1.5 employees at peak they would be around $3,500 per week profit, or $15,000 per month profit at peak.
So by doing best offers and selling items for a lower price the seller would have in the short term made around an additional $1,700 per month for the same short term work if they lowered there prices during off peak months, and they would have made an additional $3,800 per month than they would have if they had kept there prices hire with lowered demand.
Now obviously sales would have gradually increase over time as the inventory volume would have built up if they were listing the same number of items, but there was a lower weekly sell through. But for the first 3 months or so after a noticeable demand drop a cash strapped eBay seller would have to worry about losing around $4,000 to 5,000 grand the 3 months off peak if they didn’t slash prices even if they were adding month inventory and thus gradually increasing there sales back to the original volume. And at peak that could mean at least a $10,000 dollar short term profit loss if prices are not lowered.
But let’s make a reasonable assumption that if you built your listings back up to 2,000 items per week you would be back to selling at the same throughput but at the higher price you had been selling in Previous years. If a seller has an effective simple storage system using a sequential number box inventory method they should be able to fit 1,000 items like clothing onto only 2-3 additional storage racks.
In this scenario the listing throughput and their pick, pack, and shipping numbers would be about the same using this method of storage. Pulling 100 items from 2000 items listed in number order over 6 storage racks is almost as fast as picking from 1000 items in 3 storage racks.
So if there is room in their house or storage facility to scale to 2,000 items this would mean spending about $150 on storage racks. And that would mean buying about 1,000 additional items over the next few months to list, and let’s assume a high number like $500 dollars for storage bags and labels and boxes, ect. Let’s say the decrease in demand is hitting people for the first time right about now. And lets they were able to hire their temporary seasonal workers 3 months early starting early to mid august.
Given that those workers produce 150 items extra per week at a $1,500 dollar rate they would be able to list 1,000 additional items in around 6.67 weeks. Which will cost about $10,000 dollars of additional pre peak labor to ensure that inventory is back to 2,000 items so with 50 precent demand sales would stand a good chance of being back up to there original level.
Now if the seller is cash strapped to maintain positive cash flow prices could be reduce for items as they sit in inventory a little faster than they previous years during the inventory pre peak build up period. And best offers could be made to also help drive cash flow.
But depending on how much cash you have in reserve you might be better off not lowering prices at all or at least splitting the difference and aiming for an average $27 or $28 dollars for sales in the short term as you build up. This might mean pre peak sales would increase so you might need to hire extra temp employees 10 to 12 months before peak to ensure you get fully rambled up to 2,000 items rather than just 6-7 weeks out as you would be selling through a higher percentage inventory during the pre peak build up.
So therefore you would need to spend about $10,000 in labor, $5,000 in fees to build up that extra inventory as a one time investment. Let’s round up and assume the racks, boxes, storage baggies, ect., will go for around $1,000. And then let’s assume another $5,000 dollars in annual listing fees by maintaining a higher number of listing fees. I am not sure on that one but seems like a reasonable guess if using a lot of 30 day auctions form a store.
Now with this information we can compare, with back of the napkin math, if it makes sense to start sending a bunch of offers to people to sell at a lower price vs scaling the inventory. For simplicity let’s assume that the seller has cash on hand sitting in their business account from their last several years of nice steady state profits.
This would mean that the seller would be by peak selling at a $20,500 per month profit vs $15,000 if they just lowered their prices. And by the end of the three month peak they would have already saved $16,500 in profits that they would have lost by just lowering prices and doing more best offer sales. Unless they are listing high and then sending offers to their original prices.
This would mean that by the end of the year you would recoup the extra cost of building up your inventory with $500 dollars extra to the bank. But you would have also gained 1,000 items of inventory that only needs to be picked, packed, and shipped. In total sense we have already counted the COGS in that $15,000 above that is like adding another $25,000 to $30,000 to the business in inventory value.
Now assuming that in the next few years that sales demand stays at 50 and the seller decided to just go back to 9 months solo and 3 months with workers like they did before the dip in demand. With 2,000 items listed they would be back to $8,600 for the 9 off peak months, and $20,500 for the three peak months or 138,900 total profit expected with low demand but scaled to 2000 active items in inventory for 2025.
If the seller just lowered prices and did not scale they would be around a $4,750 profit per month the first 9 months of 2025, and then at $11,300 for the 3 peak months. That would be $76,650 in total profit. So in addition to losing almost half their profits in 2025 they would not have gained the extra 1,000 items to their inventory.
If those profits were reinvested into the business to grow the inventory another few thousand items and a additional couple of employees could be brought online full time it is possible they could get to a few hundred thousand in profits per year. Now if that is invested wisely that could turn into millions of dollars over the course of a few decades.
So in the above scenario as long as the owner has cash to be able to operate with increased expenses they should try to scale their business so they can at least maximize their own throughput. And most importantly a seller should run the numbers in an excel spreadsheet before making major strategic decisions about their business.
You want to estimate cash flow and what your profit would be. It may seem like it is not that big a difference but a couple dollars in labor cost or product price is like change compound interest percentages by a few points. Modest short term effect, but massive longer term financial implications.
When you add best offers, do you set a minimum and/or maximum?
Nope. It takes 2 seconds to check an offer. Auto declined offers turn off potential buyers who might make other offers
Is 15% off the usual mimimum you use for mark down sales?
I offer best offer and send offers to watchers everyday. I’ll have a markdown sale every now and then.
I do it weekly 2x a week for sales. it really works
How do run a sale? Where do I go in the app ?
You have to have a store. It’s under marketing and promotions tab. Markdown manager
I'm interested in whether or not I should convert to an eBay store. I try to maintain 250-300 items so if I do a store, it seems the cheapest option is the only one that makes sense but it also seems there isn't much benefit. Thoughts?
Tons of the same comment on this video. Check out the replies
Anytime one lowers prices sales should increase.
Would you say adding a best offer works if the trending price is $20 and list it at $25 or best offer?
Absolutely.. people love to think they are getting a deal
@@RockstarFlipper thanks man I appreciate it, you’re the eBay 🐐
I think your price communicates that your desperate and its tax season
This video is all talk but I wish would actually show how to use the site. I can't find out how to send my watchers offers. I am on the active listing page and under "quick filters" there is a button that says "send offers-eligible (773)". I click on it and get a spinning wheel and nothing happens. Is that the button you mean?
#1- the video is all talk? Yet I tell you what to do. The fact that you can’t find it, oh wait you did find it and it’s glitching. Try on another browser. Close and reopen. Contact eBay. That’s it. 🙄🤦♂️.
@@RockstarFlipper Yeah I found it but a picture would help and a video would be even better. The site is always changing and hard to use even after 25 years on the site. I still don't understand how to send more than 50 offers at a time. You do it daily so yours don't build up to 700 like mine did. Is there a way to send 700 offers at once or do I have to do them in batches of 50? I didn't mean to sound ungrateful or like a jerk but telling someone where a button is sometimes doesn't cut it. The site is so busy with buttons and links anymore it can be confusing. I didn't mean it was "all talk" as in all BS. I just meant there are no pictures or videos. It is like telling a woman to open the hood of a car and disconnect the negative battery cable. 90% can't even find the battery when it is right in front of them with two big wires on it. Everyone that has used ebay at some point in time can't find a link or button because they moved it they just can't find it because they can't find it.
Question-if I b have say 30 items with watchers and send offers to all of them… then come back the next day, will those 30:items still be listed as items with watchers and therefore be “eligible” for me to send offers to again? I don’t want to just keep sending offers to the same people over end over again. How do I know when there are NEW watchers
Buyers can only be sent 1 offer per item. Any offers you send on the same item would only be sent to new watchers.
How can you do a sale if you're barely making any money the way eBay takes it and you have to pay shipping I don't know how you can run a sale and come out ahead if I want to give stuff away I would just keep it
Because you price the items correctly....
I’m not sure how to send offers to likers??
On your left side of your screen. Or under the app it says “offers to watchers”
Doesn’t say it on mine!
you may not have any watchers. but its on the website and app if you have any
