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.
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 ! 👍🏻✨
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 $60. I get what you say about how Cassini treats each listing, but it seems terrible to treat non-replenishable listings the same as a listing that has 100 of an item. What I actually wanted to contribute to this conversation is the sell similar thing. I did it all last year to keep my inventory fresh. As an experiment, I stopped doing it in the 4th quarter. Big mistake, while most stores were making record sales, mine completely tanked! Lesson learned! :P Great video!
I am watching this video now for this very reason. I basically sell “replacements” so it’s used goods that someone may need at some point. Far from a replenishable. Last few months my sales have ranked. Trying to figure out why it’s so bad. Thinking I used to end and sell similar every month but stopped. Going to try it again.
@@kimbarnett9939 It seems useless when I do it every day, but when I stopped doing it, it really killed my store! To think that prior to 2013 and Cassini, I used to sell clothes via auction only! I read a couple of years ago that Cassini lowered an items rank after three weeks. Nobody knows, but it's a guess anyway.
i am finally at 700 items. sales are random still, about 5 things a week. Plugging away at it! So grateful for such great selling tips and information. Thank You!
i’m doing much more consistent sales since my last comment. i’m at 1060 items and bout 1500$ 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.
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.
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
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 ...
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.
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
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?
Volume sales. More volume means your better wholesale price? As you’ll buy more? Sometimes you realise that, that one particular product is not worth selling anymore because competitors can beat you on it, though it is all about algorithmic data.
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.
Very well explained. The problem is, you lose history of how many have sold on that listing by delisting. I don’t see any conversion with Social media channels at all.
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?
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
hi, i just watched ur vid 3 times, ime trying to learn how to get more clicks on my items, or to get my items seen much more !!----I have had an eBay shop for 10 yrs now, sales are not great, ive tried selling expensive/medium-priced.//and very cheaply too, but still, sales not great, and all the fees are eating into any profits, but can I ask, u say to "delist and relist" to get more traffic!! how does that work? and, do u mean to end an item then simply relist it ?. won't you lose all the people that might be watching your item if doing that ?. so when u relist it, u won't have any watchers?. surely that's not a good thing to do, is it?. any advice much appreciated, thanks from dave in UK
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.
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
Then why when I search for a item on ebay and it don't show but when I goto Google and use the same keywords it will sometimes bring up an active listing on ebay?
Another thing I noticed is mobile version only brings up so many listings and only feature certain items, I have found so many items on eBay through my laptop vs what I was able to find through the app or even mobile search engines. When I'm looking for something to buy on eBay and I want a good price or better variety I have to go on my laptop and sometimes go through several hundred listings before I find what I'm looking for and always those items are NOT on the mobile app. So this may be a reason too especially when a lot of people are gravitating towards shopping more on their phones vs on their computers.

No bs I have been on ebay for 20 years...not been the same..I agree
Ebays new SCAM Is the promotions. They always recommend crazy percentages

Does using the eBay photo editing tool that gives your item a white background help the same as photographing against a white background?

My product has a UPC and is unique so if I delist then relist all it does is wipe out my massive sales history, wont that derank me?

How do you calculate/measure sell through rate?
Once again you have helped me with a video. One question, what is a decent click through and sell through rate? Thanks
Dependz kn the category
Amazon cares about the seller as well. Ebay doesn't.
But what if you filter by lowest price and buy it now?
Then why when I search for a item on ebay and it don't show but when I goto Google and use the same keywords it will sometimes bring up an active listing on ebay?
they rotate traffic for lots of reasons, hard to pinpoint exactly why
