I can confirm how much delisting and relisting boosts traffic. There were a few personal circumstances that forced us to shut the store down in the last year and as soon as we relisted everything we had really bug sales weeks. Some people will say "you'll lose your watchers" but it is very much worth it.
Old players were once new, so this crying is not justified. Everyone should be given equal opportunity old or new. In the end, sellers with good service and products will stay in the game.
I'm having a lot of luck paying per click. The recommend .50 cents per, which will kill you. I've got mine set at .08 cents per. Currently I've sold about $250 gross against $19 worth of advertising cost. I plan on taking anything that's not over $40 off so that only bigger ticket items are getting advertised.
Your business tips make so much sense. I have viewed some of your older content and even that is spot on! All that you talk about are found in my college textbook. Intrigued to see real-life business education translate to tangible value. Amazing.
This does work well, and I do it frequently. Only caveat is ending too many listings with no sell through can also possibly be a detractor in itself. I've been experimenting with only ending in worst case stale scenarios and editing the dead listings, switching around photos, updating title, description and specifics. Found that the listing also seems to get a traffic boost when doing so without the detractor of ending a listing with no sell through.
I really enjoy and learn a lot with you. Every time I see one of your vids come up I am like “ Welp, time to go to school” So nice of you to take us with you in your journey and sharing what you learn with us ! 👍🏻✨
Excellent video. Been selling on EBay for several years now, and always wondered why certain items just seem to die after a bit of time passes. Thanks for the tips, and info.
Nice! Know how so many viewers stop watching for the end? Well, I am now back at the beginning so I can watch this all the way through the second time! This is gangbuster-good stuff, Chris. Thanks.
Yepper...i found when i "end all items" and then relist individually making small changes....THAT's when people start to notice and buy my stuff. Also, i learned from the school of hard knocks to spend 3 to 5 minutes REALLY searching for the lowest price when i go to buy...cause sooo many times i buy at what i think is lowest and then find below the same items even less expensive. It does chap me. A buyer needs to put forth "lots of effort" when searching for lowest price. Ridiculous e-bay concepts ARE "promoted listings" (i.e more expensive) and "fees for listings" (hell, why penalize the seller from listing an item, when e-bay makes 6 to 10% money off the sale-sold items).
This video is 2 years old but since the posting I think one of the worst things eBay has done was to eliminate the bots from viewing items. The fact that your items could end up listed on all kinds of different scavenger websites to me was an advantage. Now you are lucky if you Google the name of your item and you actually see one of your photos pop-up in images.
eBay is pressuring me to lower a $7 item. What the heck? Why should I reduce below cost? Why waste time on packaging and going to the post office to make 50 cents?
This was a really good one Chris, thanks. Did a huge sale yesterday via the turning off promoted listings for a week then re-turning them back on at 1% per listing again. Huge boost.
The promoted listing algorithm has changed since the Fall Update, 1% is no longer going to give you as good of results as doing the 'recommended rate' - not to be confused with what used to be called the 'trending rate' and is no longer mentioned. Unfortunately, you may have to pay more now to get the same with no real added value.
With this mindset no new sellers would be able to get started. Not even you back when you got started. I think it's fair for every item to get same chance.
Great information have been selling on eBay since 2018 100 percent rating mostly sports cards because I love the hobby but have recently branched out to other items love your channel
Thank you for this video, I have been on Ebay for many years, however, I am new as a dedicated seller. It definitely is frustrating, I've tried a variety of things such as listing daily to see if that increases traffic. I am also trying keywords . New subscriber.
Right?! The people who have been on there for a long time have huge stores and make $40k to over $100k a year on eBay, when new people come on we are just investing, usually don't have much to work with, and want a chance for our things to sell too so we can get where more experienced sellers are. If all the people who have been eBay for years only got sales that wouldn't be too fair either ...
are you getting sold listings being relisted?- i understand relisting but how long does that last-i usually hold out promoting for 2wks assuming thats the run also take advantage of a lowball offer nock the price down than accept if it(23hrs) doesnt sale
One thing I can add: I don't like how Cassini treats one off items like vintage clothing items like replenishables. Say I have a pair of vintage Levis in size 40x30 that are Orange tab and faded. That's a lot of item specifics to go through to find the right buyer. It might sit for months but eventually sell for $60. I get what you say about how Cassini treats each listing, but it seems terrible to treat non-replenishable listings the same as a listing that has 100 of an item. What I actually wanted to contribute to this conversation is the sell similar thing. I did it all last year to keep my inventory fresh. As an experiment, I stopped doing it in the 4th quarter. Big mistake, while most stores were making record sales, mine completely tanked! Lesson learned! :P Great video!
I am watching this video now for this very reason. I basically sell “replacements” so it’s used goods that someone may need at some point. Far from a replenishable. Last few months my sales have ranked. Trying to figure out why it’s so bad. Thinking I used to end and sell similar every month but stopped. Going to try it again.
@@kimbarnett9939 It seems useless when I do it every day, but when I stopped doing it, it really killed my store! To think that prior to 2013 and Cassini, I used to sell clothes via auction only! I read a couple of years ago that Cassini lowered an items rank after three weeks. Nobody knows, but it's a guess anyway.
Ooh also great point on give away a bunch of 5-7 dollar items every month to sell those higher dollar ones.. Do you do any auctions on a monthly basis to help your store perform?
Chris, how do you start an electronics cleanout business or just cleanout service in general? I am not entirely sure how the business model works. Do you keep the items for free? Do they charge you for the items? etc. I was hoping you could touch on this or maybe point me in the right direction to a video that explains this a little better. Thanks!
5:15 YES your 'browsers' are not shopping just looking to see what you're doing because of your 'how to' videos. Fortunately you're open enough about your business that they see you're for real.... thanks for that.
Hi, thanks for explaining. If I end a list and I make it again, yes it can go up but also I loose the counter of how many I sold. For instance, if I have 20 units and I sell 5 , it says 5 sold. If I make a new list, it just will say 20 available. It might look a bid bad for someone, like if I have never sold a piece of it before Can you share some other platforms where I can list an item please, a part of Amazon
i am finally at 700 items. sales are random still, about 5 things a week. Plugging away at it! So grateful for such great selling tips and information. Thank You!
i’m doing much more consistent sales since my last comment. i’m at 1060 items and bout 1500$ last month. i forget that february is a slow mover and consistency is key in any business!
Very true good luck that is a lot of listings!! I do a lot of vintage myself but in garage sale season I make a killing on electronics and video game stuff thrifting is ok but the deals i get from garage sales and estate sales cant be beat recently ive been doing a lot of corning ware its been selling good for me
@@zachreidy9604 I sell sports cards packs and I have about 26 up and sell probs 2 per week lol. Will my conversion go up with the more items I got? The packs are at fair prices but things are moving slow. Just wondering if I should trust the process and if things will speed up when I get like hundreds of packs.
My sell through rate is around 13%. It might be more, but I've really pumped up my listings to a new level, so my numbers haven't caught up. I feel that's decent, given that I sell clothes, mainly. However, my sale conversion is 1.8% and I feel like I can contribute my good sales to that. When that number is running high and increasing, I'm getting more hits, more watchers and more sales. This makes obvious sense to me.
I feel like resellers are moving to Amazon, Shopify, poshmark, goat and mercari from eBay. eBay needs to change if they want to drive more traffic and get back more resellers.
I notice that to , I’m selling on eBay after eBay did a big update it messed up my business more so I created Amazon account, if I do good on Amazon I’m going to delete my eBay account cus eBay is bull shit
Can you make a video on pricing items? I've heard you mention before that your items are not the cheapest on ebay, so how do you do it? How do you get someone to buy your item that costs more than someone else? I've had that problem for 2 years and have been trying to price my items cheaper than everyone else's, but sometimes it's not even worth it or I'd end up losing money.
Wow after seeing your video. I did some research on my items and I found that, my listing if I put in search bar, they don’t even appear in first 100 or 200 item, so that means people are not even looking at it. It’s a Michael Kors jacket for $69. What to do??? Get annoyed after learning what they do. Help

Thank you for these strategies
You’re welcome
Another lean cogent video. You are the Paul Akers of reselling!
Well, gotta be fair to everyone selling to, no matter if they are a new seller or not. They git to make money too and get better at it to.

It would become the TH-cam for sellers where small seller will struggle with promotion
How long does a listing have to be up to be considered stale? I’m a new eBay seller and appreciate all the information you share with us. Thank you.

What type of shelves are you using?
When you say relist all the items, do you mean relist with the same item number, or relist and get all new item numbers? Thanks
If you end the listing and relist does it get a new date, like fresh listing????
Amazon cares about the seller as well. Ebay doesn't.
Does using the eBay photo editing tool that gives your item a white background help the same as photographing against a white background?
Gems!
