I did the seller clinic. Found it really useful. Resolved an issue I had had for ages and got some good pointers for other things, that I have since actioned. Really, really useful. Did not try to sell me anything either. Will do it again.
14 days is enough in my opinion. Great video as I was considering using this silly clinic gimmick but thought it would be a waste of time. Keep up the great content. 👍
I agree with the returns abuse. I sold a fancy glass cake stand on a silver pedestal (not so long ago). It was returned close to the 30 day returns deadline. The buyer stated they were going to use it for their wedding cake but changed their mind. Fair enough I thought maybe the style just didn't fit the theme when they saw it in the flesh (after seeing all 24 photos 🥴). When they returned it, it had icing and cake crumbs all over it. We can be as honest as the day is long, eBay does not care one bit. JUST FEED THE ALGORITHM aka eBay shareholders pockets.
I'd love to see a youtube channel that (constructively) tears Ebay shops apart and gives genuinely helpful advice. 'Beau Johnson' and 'Thrift a life' have done this somewhat.
For my shop video, I did an AI generated jingle using Suno. I then just put random clips to it using Canva. I imagine it's done absolutely nothing for sales, lol.
Ebay has settings so you can stop sales to people with 0 feedback, etc. Maybe they need to have a setting for the number or percentage of orders the buyer has returned. I'd use that and sleep better at night.
The biggest concern with listing 30 per day is that will the sell thru rate be quick enough? It could just end up that they then have more items to hide to squash your sell thru, you'd be getting closer to maxxing out your storage space and on an average 30 day month you'd be talking about adding an extra 900 items. Those extra would be 900 x 6p per additional insertion = £54 more in listing fees per month which would be all fine and dandy if ( big if ) the sell thru rate was good and paid for all of that rather than just cancelling out all your profits from any gains. If you listed 30 a day as well then 10,950 would be added annually at which point I dare say you'd then be onto paying about £17 a day for an anchor shop and you'd likely then be well into the flat rate VAT zone of 90k and things getting complicated. I know that you don't really want to be scaling in that way as you mentioned in one of your previous videos how you are happy to just remain at much the same level as you currently are and money is not too much of a motivation for you but if you followed their 30 items a day advice you'd likely end up scaling when it's not what your goal is. For non applicable item specifics you could try just populating the field with a full stop as the search engine just wants something rather than nothing so ticks that box.
@@thats_flipping_retro their advice was so obvious and generic that only a total newb would really gain any insights at all. I feel like their advice is simply a one size fits all approach no matter if you had a 5000 pairs of jeans shop, a shop specialising in coins or you just have an everything shop. A lot this advice is just spinning your wheels. Ebay have become so completely bloated with all these comical items specifics which to me are absurd. I could list a wool blazer and it wants to know the activity. I've put things like ostrich farming, creative writing and mud wrestling into the specifics when bored as a two finger salute to the damn thing.
@@thats_flipping_retro Oh, gawd, what Frankenstein Monster have I created? Yeah, that could actually be a new segment of your videos of a couple of minutes where you and your viewers share your most ridiculous activity item specifics. It's not even like anyone can say it's factually incorrect to say that the activity of octopus wrestling cannot apply to a mid century ashtray.
Love the idea of showcasing items visiting UK landmarks!
Haha it’s the future!

That’s brilliant. Like we say it might be different for others. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on 600 subs 🎉
Thank you!! 😁

Thanks very much. Glad it was useful.

@@aquilegia4ev3r that’s awful! Sorry that happened to you. Thanks for watching

I'll check it out!
Good evening ladies
@@fluffy-Muffin evening Fluffy, how was your break?
2 week return policy is enough. I don’t understand 30 days let alone 60
That's the legally required minimum. Anything more is generous.
Definitely!

So your sales didn’t magically go up by 33%?

That would be fantastic!
Yep my condition box are getting blanked out it's happening all the time!
Its so frustrating isn't it!
Ive had it with remote controls weight length width etc? Why the feck would you need those details when it’s the remote for the TV they want
Ha yes!
60 days!!!! Not a bleedin chance! hahahahahaa!!!
@@lostonexxx not just me then ? Lol
White backgrounds is preferable to eBay sales and yet with the Ai yet you can choose so many different backgrounds
It’s all a bit contradictory.

Exactly! The advice may not match your personal goals at all.

@ I think we should start a trend of ridiculous activities!

@@stoneislandkirkcaldy lol well if it makes listings items on ebay less tedious I am all for it!

Do you have a stutter mate lol
