eBay Algorithm Refresh! Ending Listings So You CAN SELL THEM! Relist or Sell Similar on eBay
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2024
- If we are going to make money selling on ebay there are a few things we need to know about the ebay algorithm first. When listings are listed on ebay too long they can become stale and lose prime search optimization. So how to we combat that on ebay? We end those stale listings and refresh them with a new item number to trick the ebay algorithm into boosting our items for sale on the ebay platform. But when do we do that? And are there any problems with doing that in the long run? And I will also answer the biggest question of them all - should you relist as sell similar or just simply relist?

Your observation that almost everything sells eventually was spot on. Yesterday, I sold two items that were listed in 2019. As a seller of collectibles I have the be cognizant of the season and economy. Sometimes something may take a couple of years for the right buyer to come along. When I notice a listing getting old, I will adjust with new photos, new title and re-research the price.
This may have been one of your best videos! I end and relist quite often - Last time I did an end and relist on 90% of my inventory and page views, impressions, and sales went through the roof! In one day my sales went from $150 to $580. I think you need to refer to this video often as sellers need to do this more often! Love you girl!
Your topics are so relevant to me! It's like you are reading my mind -- just this weekend I ended a bunch of auctions 60 days old because I was tired of looking at them
You answered just what I've been wondering about my death pile! Thanks a heap!
Did you know that if you use the down down to the left of the item picture and select end listing that it permanently ends the listing. YES. The item does not go to the Unsold or Ended list page. If you end a listing by checking the box to the left of the picture, then use the actions tab, then end the item, it goes to the ended page.
okay this part right here 05:44 about Relisting is good. had to listen to it 2x
Things sell slower now because eBay has lots of competition.
Another good thing to note is that doing “sell similar” on certain items WILL generate more sales on other items. I will sit on “garbage” items, and relist just for general increased sales. Items that don’t/won’t sell still have value as “fodder” for your store. 😁
i normally end early if not sold in 24hrs...then relist same item using SELL SIMILAR without editing anything and it always sell in less than an hour after relisting as SELL SIMILAR...it never failed me ;o)
You have at true gift for making informative videos! Thank you!
Yes She does she's the Best !!!
This is the kind of "inside information" only a true ebay veteran knows from experience. Thank you Lindey for sharing your hard-earned knowlegde to help us newbies get there faster - you truly are a godsend!
Not seeing how sell similars does anything to "fool" Ebay's algorithm vs. relist. End a listing, relist it. Ebay gives you a new item number without changing anything. (pardon my ignorance)
Lindey, I luv your content and I've learned a lot from you over the last couple of years...thank you so much. But I just ran another test on this; when you end and RELIST you do get a new item # and you do get the "New Listing" bump in the search results.
I’m happy I found this channel!!!
"Suppress it a bit more in search" That's an understatement and a half
Liked the concept of your items are "renting space on your shelf." Have not heard that before. Great way to think about it.
Thanks for the information. I usually sell similar and make a few changes.
Ending and sell similar seems to work for me a lot. If not the items go into yard sale storage.
How to end an item
Can you do that together for multiple listing?
You are very Good about explaining stuff about TH-cam thanks Donnie G Naples?love your channel!!
Thank you! Very entertaining and most informational!
So much great info!! Thank you!
Great video and funny how it just popped up for me, because this was my questions! Lol
Thanks for more great tips! Your the best Lindey!!!
????? Hey Lindey boo! I was hoping you would answer my question from your other video about wholesale ninjas being saturated because everyone is starting to order from them.
I agree with you... I’ve seen dozens and dozens of unboxing videos by so many people...I’m holding off before I order.
I stay away from WN after ordering two different cases from them last year and much of the inventory did not sell because so many other resellers got the exact same items and saturated the selling platform.
@@deborahcamarillo7869 oh no! I'm so sorry. It's so hard to find wholesale companies, especially in the United states
Lindey - We have been reselling on eBay for years. After watching your unboxing videos we are giving wholesale ninjas a try. We ordered Sunday night and it's to be delivered on Thursday.
Update? How was your experience?
How did you like it?
Wholesale Ninjas was a waste of money. I will never buy from them again.
You have to buy at least 300 pieces to make profit. I agree with you that it's not a way to make sustainable income. Liquidation is certainly not for me
Wonderful information!!! Thank you,
Good morning thanks for your help . You help us a lot with your videos
Thank you, as always very relevant info.
What about just editing the listing e.g. adjusting price, adding pictures etc. instead of using sell similar. Would that increase views? Often when I list items I deliberately price a bit too high and then gradually lower. I'm wondering if this reduces my likelihood of selling though, since by the time I have priced at a reasonable price, it is no longer getting as many views.
This was very informational! Thank you!
Thank you for all your wonderful information 😊🙏
Great Points and Clarification! Thank you.
Another tip is to list the stale item on another/ multiple platforms to increase the chances of it selling fast.
Everything I've learned from you has been pretty spot on . But I ended and relisted and lost all my watchers on the item.
Yup 👍
Valuable info! Thank you!
Ur truly the best
Always so helpful
Thank U girly!
Thanks 4 sharing QUEEN. Blessings🙏🏾
Good morning Lindey girl, thanks so much!
Great video!!! Keep up the good work.
Great video! What about focusing on just the ones that eBay notifies you as ending? When I click Sell Similar should I save that as a draft before removing the original listing? It would have been great to see a screen share for this.
Good question but I don’t see anyone answering any of her questions
i dont think that matters. i just sell similar then delete the unsolds after
I end and sell similar every month at least 200 items plus every day it helps
People are cheap in general
Thank you Lindey!!!
When I list "Until Sold", doesn't ebay charge 30 cents each time it automatically relists?
you are better off ending and relist/sell similar on your own. When Ebay relists you item it never moves in the listing is buried in place where you initially put it up.
????? Since you sell products like OTC meds, vitamins, etc., do you carry liability insurance?
sup narc
Great advice thanks.
Has anyone else had the problem with the mobile app not showing first class mail option anymore it just disappeared?!
It is a glitch which is happening mostly when people are listing by mobile. Get on a laptop or desktop and you should be okay.
@@Ellyn1974 yea i talked to them today and they said they where working on it
Good information, thank you!
Soooooo it seems like RELISTING an item does nothing......is that correct?
Great Video Lindy!
Great information!
Hi lindey, can you do a lesson on "how to work the Ebay app for dummies " ?? Like the filters and scanning etc etc . i go sourcing and scan a item and get 2 to 3 listings and then at home when i look it up on laptop there are many many listings. 😵😬 thank you, mel
Hi! I'm not lindey, but I'm better than nothing. The reason why you're seeing a different amount of items when you scan vs search is that when you scan, you only see the items (active & sold) that people put the barcode in their listing. If they don't put the barcode UPC in their listing, it wont show up when you scan. That's why it might be a good idea for beginners to search things in the search bar before making the final decision on whether to buy or not.
@@benbrill1384 thank you bill 😳
@@melmartin1259 happy to help!
Good morning, great information and I listened twice. I had an item I ended last night because it had an error in the listing. Was this a smart move or should I have just corrected and re-listed the item? Thank you for all the information you share with us.
I have some pet products that sell a lot. When they sell out, I have always just found the listing in my solds and used sell similar to relist a new quantity. I guess I've been doing it wrong. 🤷😐😳
Additional thought: if a seller has taxable income then “scrapping“ an item may actually provide income. Just donate it and take a charitable contribution tax deduction.
“Scrapping” an item does not provide income.
@@Jazzy-bg2lt that’s my point. I would not scrap an item. Just donate it and take a tax deduction against your income thereby increasing your income since you will pay less in taxes.
Here is my problem. I will list certain items that start to sell over and over again but as soon as i sell five of a certain item, sales for that item come to a stop. This has happened several times. Anyone know why?
What’s better and the difference between RELIST or SELL SIMILAR
Start listening at 6:00
Hello Lindy pretty new seller here love love love you videos so much great information! We purchased our first pallet from Wholesaler Ninjas great great products! Question I think this is big! Is it just me? But my choices for first class mail and I use it a lot because we sell a lot of less than a pound selling as well as all my shipping info on my listings are gone for anything listed first class!! This is huge in my opinion!!!! I believe it will hurt sales and now I have to go back and change my listings😡..... is this just me or is it EBay wide?? Thanks in advance!
This is a glitch problem mostly on mobile. People have been able to list correctly on desktop.
Thanks Lindey, always great advice! We sell collectibles, so only 1, and just sold an item listed for 6 months. We also believe in waiting until the right customer comes along. However I have been doing a lot of revising. I have a question about "Refreshing" a listing. I've heard you use that word several times. Is there a button for that? I have not been given that option. Sorry for the long post, LOVE you videos! Debbie
I don't believe that there is a button, I thnk you have to end the listing and then re-list it from unsold.
I think refreshing the listing just means you click “revise item” and change around some things then hit “update listing.” You can do this individually or in bulk.
Personally I think "watchers" get too much importance placed on them by sellers. I want buyers in my store, not watchers which are not exactly buyers in most cases. I've actually had items with watchers that I've ended and then sold similar where the item sold after the new listing went up. Was it a watcher from the previous listing? Who knows but like I stated I want buyers.
Yea, especially if I sent offers to watchers and didn't sell, then I don't mind ending and selling similar.
In my mind, watchers on a buy it now are relevant for no more than 24 hours. I send an offer, and if they don't take it in a day, they're dead to me. However, sometimes future buyers may see that there are a lot of watchers, and that will tide them over on buying. Just something to think about
Hiya, Thanks for the video. Does sell similar work with the £1 and £3 selling fee offers?
Thanks!
hi, quick question. i have a few items that are getting less than 100 impression a day. is this typical. and what would be a good typical amount of impressions i should see on a new item
????? Hey Lindey!! Thank you for the Sell Similar tips! I just sold 2 things that are over 100 days old in my store. It works!! Question.... Is there a way to use the "out of stock" option, but not have it apply to everything in the store? My store is about 80% single one of a kind items and 20% multiple items that can get re-stocked. Is there a way to have the out of stock option turned on for just multiple quantity items?? THANK YOU!
As a seller if i send offer( mistakenly sent 2$ instead of 32$ ) what should we do.
Hi Lindey when u end a listing what reason should you choose? Broken, error, no longer available or reserve price incorrect? Any help is greatly appreciated 😊 thanks
Love all you do. You look fab in blue
Are we supposed to end listings that are sold, one of a kind items? Just not sure if that listing takes space in the amount of listings I am allowed. Does it keep renewing event though it is sold? Should I end the item listing after it has sold out and I don't plan any more quantity? I was thinking that once it sold, it was moved out of my total 250 listings. Would you clarify?
G😀reat video thanks for sharing
Can you do a new one on this ❤️
I have a lot of similar items. I keep track of the items I've listed (each may have slight differences like scratches or marks) by noting the item number on a sticky note on the item. When I end and relist in bulk all the item numbers changes which makes me lose track of what I've listed.
Is there any good way to keep track of similar items?
I really need help with this! Thank you
I have a question Lindsey do you get a change fee if you leave the listing more than 30 days and it hasn’t sold ? If you still have available listing free fees thanks for your help
She won't answer you're wasting your time
Did you hear anything about ebay eliminating first class shipping I have had orders but first class not available and I see others are seeing the same problem
It's a glitch. Try logging in on desktop, some people are able to list correctly on desktop.
Definitly a glitch, @Ebay for business on facebook said they are working on a fix.
You are the best 👌
I have been relisting and it seems to be helping a lot. Especially with a newer phone camera and a nice tile back drop! 👌 some of my listings as a beginner are hard to look at , lol! I can't believe I've sold as much as I have with such low quality listings.
Wow...If I can get 500 views on any one of my items, I would be a pretty happy Canadian!👍😉🇨🇦
You look like Eva Longoria 😍 💕
????? I don't what to come across as 'Debby Downer' but I just need some advice on Wholesale Ninja's packing. I'm new to ordering to them and when my first box arrived about 25% of the lotions and creams were either unsealed or some leaked all over the bottom of the box. The second box, same thing with the lotions plus an uncapped lipstick that messed up a lot of other items. So when you pay the shipping and that percentage of heavy weight objects are not sellable what do you do with them? I inadvertently listed an Olay product that was unsealed with the first box. A buyer asked was it already used. I removed that item. I'm not sure what to do with the products are unsellable. Has this happened to others?????
I only ordered 1 box, but I know that sometimes the box is really beat up. Usually, they have to be shelf pulled (NOT returns). If more than 5% of the items are expired/opened/used, then contact wholesale ninjas quality control
I had the same issue. I’m doing a test lot to see how it works for me. I had about 216 sellable and 42 unsellable which was way more than the 5% promised or what I’ve seen in Lindey’s unboxing vids. You could always contact them since their website says if it’s more than 5% they will make it right. I’m planning to keep some I would use myself and try to sell the rest for cost at a yard sale with full disclosure. If they don’t sell, I’ll probably donate them. Hope that helps!
My listings automatically renew after 30 days, unless I revise or end listing. Is there any way to extend the time? And if it automatically relists AND I got the initial information from another seller (sell similar), even though I changed/revised information in the title, specifics, etc does the relist pull old information? Sometimes? I have had automatic relist that changes item to new or used, opposite of my changes. Thanks! Love your channel!!!
I don't think there is a way to change the time. Ebay used to have an option "until sold," but they removed that
Hello Lindey - when you end an item (in order to relist) - eBay asks for the reason you are ending (I remember it asking if there is an error in the listing or if the item is lost - and I think 2 or 3 other options). So, when ending a listing - does marking or choosing one of these reasons (or the same one each time) mark you somehow as a poor seller or anything?
Great question. Wondering the same thing!
Me too, I always choose error in price since typically I change the price, and at times wording or description.
I'm not sure if you get punished for selecting certain things, but I personally wouldn't select "item was damaged" or "no longer available for sale"
@@benbrill1384 why? I did it a few times since I also sell on FBMP.
Thank you for this! I was wondering. I have a question, so you mentioned that if you end and relist, you keep your watchers. Is that even if you change some parts of the relisted listing?? ie: if the title and category are changed??
Yes the watchers will still be there :)
@@LindeyGlenn That is awesome to know!! Thank you, I am still learning and I definitely think I'll be relisting some of my stale items and adjusting the listing. You are awesome!!
@@LindeyGlenn so I did this and my watchers were no longer there? Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
@@christinehaney5241 ive heard ppl say you keep watchers, but ive never kept any watchers on a relisted item either
Good morning
How do I get to the out of stock option to restock on Ebay?
Once you add the new quanity to the listing, it updates automatically.
@@budgetedgoods I didnt get a chance to add quantity because it's sold out quickly. And I still don't know where the button is for the sold-out option
I think it’s actually in your store settings and you can only choose one type for your store. Everything has to be an out of stock listing type so if you’re also selling a lot of one offs that model may not work for you.
@@jenenepeterson1561 thank you. I'm going to see if I can find it
The item that sold you edit the listing, go to the quanity before shipping area. Then add the new quanity & save the update. Thats it
Was hear
