How many listing do you have?

As I'm laying in bed and a police Helicopter hovers around outside, I lay here wondering how many eBay listings you run a month? I have 184. Some auction, some bin. Mostly smalls $10-20/ item. I would like to get to 200 one day....

At the moment, 5, and that is a lot for me.
 

21 auctions at the moment. Is it just me or is bidding just come to a stand still?

Not a lot of action right now on any of my stuff. I thought Feb was a historically slow month. I guess March is too. I might just end my listings and try again next month.

It is kind of frustrating. I have never seen anything like this. I might relist as they expire with bin and longer listings...

Got 38 right now, and this is the slowest start of the year for me in sales since I started four years ago. It is mid March and it still seems extremely slow for sales. Any ideas why? Maybe weather?

Totally depends on what you're selling, but whether good or bad it's impossible to tell much based on just a few items. That said, when I'm firing on all cylinders it's always good, because if you have enough decent items on, with enough traffic, it's like creating your own little storm within the atmosphere. But that's also the difference between doing it full time and part time.

Yea, I'm not in the same ballpark as you with my listings so what works for you probably wont apply to me. I will keep trying, eventually the stuff will sell.
 

Ben, what types of items do you have listed?

yep, I have plenty that collects dust, but I can keep busy enough to not really notice it. When I don't have any auctions on, just fixed price, things can be pretty slow. Traffic plays a huge part in selling fixed price/store items.
 

As of last night for March, I have sold 19 items and have 93 items listed. I just listed 20 or so within the last two days...
 

I currently have 25 items listed on ebay and another 5 or 6 on Craigslist. I should have a few more listed by the end of the week. Sales have actually been pretty good recently with $670 in ebay sales in the last 31 days (over $200 in the last week).
 

Right now, we have 325 listings, and would have more, except that people keep buying things, which hurts our listings count, LOL.

I have a ton of unsold listings that need to be relisted, which I need to do before I lose the listings. Maybe another 50 to 75?

I have done well on craigslist in the past. All my large items (vehicles, snow plows, large tools, trailers, ect.) Go on craigslist as I live in a very isolated area...

I just relisted some of the unsold listings we had.

We now have 372 items listed.

I still have about 25 unsold auction listings that need to be relisted...not sure whether to convert those to BIN or relist as auctions.
 

I have about 100 on one account and about 70 on another. February was slow but march has picked up considerably. Iron patch has some astute observations. It does matter what you are selling and when. That doesn't mean you can't sell Christmas ornaments in March, because you certainly can. When things slow down, I adjust. I may lower some prices, I may add make- an- offer. Whatever it takes to get going. The other thing from IP was volume and traffic. I usually have a lot of buy-it-now sitting on the shelf. Putting up auctions leads buyers to the BIN stuff and sales pick up. Their is also a science to how you show up in eBay searches. The person wanting to make a go of this for a business must study this science and keep up with it because it changes.

lol, I'm with you on the CL for large items. Off the top of my head, I have a floor buffer, 2 Jiffy commercial steamers (one with the hanging board), and a large Chandra Zara Camel area rug that I need to list this week, now that I have some time to breathe.


I've only sold 9 items in the last 60 days, but those were BIN items that I just left running not caring whether they sell or not. Been too busy for ebay. I have some time off for the next few weeks so i'll try to hit it hard and heavy now.
