I think eBay hides new items more than used items. I think they don't like it when people undercut there larger sellers of new equipment. There is bugs when closed listings are still active and shows the actual live listing as a duplicate. I had a product that was selling 4 a week. I closed the listing because someone probably competitor reported as fake item. I relisted it and didn't get a single view for 2 months. When it would normally get hundreds of views. Nothing had changed. Maybe the manufacturer complained because I was devaluing the brand by selling at low price.

My theory, eBay has to keep as many sellers engaged as possible. So let’s say you average $100 in sales a day. You hit $250 by noon. From that point on you aren’t likely to get many more sales. They will send traffic to a seller that is at below their avg sales for the day mixed with people who promote at the lions share to eBay. They won’t pass up an organic search for your item but they will move all other traffic.

Ebay really really really wants you to pay them extra to promote your items. If you give them enough your item can also appear at the top of searches that it doesn't even match. Everything else mentioned in the video is helpful, but since they introduced promoted listings, you just have to pay to get to the top. They should just double sellers' fees if that's what they want, and keep searches accurate.

Been selling thrifted clothing since 2001 on ebay (daily since 2001). I paved the way for reselling thrifted clothing. I recently started crosslisting to FB Marketplace and Poshmark. But majority of sales are from ebay. I have been trying to adapt to all the various changes over the years (with ebay). Gone are the days I netted 1K a week only working a few hours a day. I am really struggling to find quality items at fair prices to flip.

I think since covid the rats and roaches came out of the woodwork. Lots of people want easy money and with social media everyone thinks they can be a reseller. What happens over time, is that a lot fade away bc they don't have the dedication to keep going. I had a landscaping business for over 10 years and it was the same thing. Everyone got into the biz bc the low barrier of entry, but, over time, most fizzled out for a multitude of reasons. My belief is if you keep sticking it out, you'll rebound and be successful. Covid screwed a lot of things up and it gave a lot of people the impression they can be full time or even part time resellers.

Wow! Great information 👍

That side menu number accounts for total variations not total listings. If someone has 10 color options in a multi-variation listing, the number on the left menu is going to add those 10. If you narrow down your search more selecting more item specifics, then the top results number and side menu results number will match total variation available. It's probably just the way it's programmed.

I once checked each shirt in my stock ,about 150 against my listings on ebay , I kept having to repeat the action from scratch , as each time different shirts appeared and disappeared from the listings ,

What are your thoughts on multiple stores on Poshmark for keeping your items niched per store? Ie men’s closet home decor closet and women’s closet?

Daily I have been looking at your videos on and off for sometime now even before you became the EBAY WHISPERER with Technsports. It's my opinion that some resellers are only as good as the products and network from which they source. Meaning if you are from small town in the middle Timbuktu you probably don't have a lot of places to source. Sure you can do online arbitrage and weekend garage sales but you don't have immediate access and the items you get are probably junk no body wants. However on the flip side if I am in a large metropolitan area with 25 to 50 thrifts/flea markets I stand a better chance of having great items to sell.

Interesting the first listing a stock photo on pre owned

I was in Goodwill yesterday, and my phone chinged 2 times. Everybody in there was ebaying. They all looked at their phones. I would love to have that sound on my phone. I have a buyer looking for a teal shirt in xl mens. He bought one of mine, but i didn,t have anymore in teal. So theres that, and hope it helps someone. I love hearing that sound of selling!

I think the reason one number is higher in the search results is because multiple quantity listings. It is 155 listings and 195 total available. When I look at my active listings in the hub it says 519 listing and over to the right it it says quantity 564. Im guessing because I have some multi quantity listings.

I would also presume that many of the rank/file listings are suppressed due to seller error. People who have "sold similar" off another listing and have not done the work to perfection, but with discrepancy. So...when the algorithm picks up on what you are looking for it's going to identify most-like word searches and prompts and thus with your "size 12" jeans - you are going to get jeans/12/good american, etc from the generalized tool bar search, but if the item's specifics are wrong or differ from the title you're going to get those similar/related listings popping up too. The trending words will hit back and find their way into the search feed because of people putting "word salad" into their listing title and by those that aren't correctly selling similar and leaving specifics in that don't truly belong to their item. An excellent example was the SOLDS you pulled up. Searching for "GOOD AMERICAN JEANS" your top return was (American) Eagle...(Jeans)...(Size 12...Good).

Guess there aren't any, just a clickbait title.

Chris, I think you might be over looking one important thing - and that is MULTIPLE QUANTITIES. One (1) listing could have 2 to 10+ items (same) which would elevate the 'available' numbers, but not the listings numbers. I think there *might be* some - certain category - items that are 'evaluated' prior to them being listed (like WWII memorabilia & collectables), and potentially some 'account' restrictions - if 'an' account is deemed a problem... but the numbers you are calling 'proof' are likely as simple as 'listings' verses 'quantity' - same items, but obviously completely different numbers. Also, in the equation, which you mentioned are the PROMOTED LISTINGS, but didn't discuss HOW (or IF) it changes the 'numbers' - but shows TWO 'listings' for ONE ITEM (the 'regular' and the 'sponsored'). Otherwise interesting video, and great information, as usual.

@EfficientRVer

8 ай бұрын

It is almost criminal, but not on the part of eBay, I'd say criminal on the part of the seller. Don't ever sell a $1000 item as an auction starting at $1. What a recipe for disaster. Back in the day, I sold many items on eBay which were in the $1000 to $15,000 range. Not one of them, was an auction. Fixed Price is the only reasonable way to guarantee you get a good price. Whether to price it to sell in 1 day or 100 days, is a personal choice. Taking ANY chance of it selling for $20 is just not an acceptable risk. Auctions are terrible in several ways, especially for very expensive items. First, people spending a ton of money for a very expensive item, can afford the money to pay your price, more likely than they can afford the time to play games following the price of an auction. The only reasonable way to BUY an expensive item at auction, is to be present, watching, and bidding for the last 10 to 30 minutes as it ends. Or to use snipe bidding software. Rich people don't like to do either. They like to see something they want, and buy it. The other thing about an auction, is that the very best price you can get is what two or more bidders are willing to pay. By setting a high Buy It Now price and gradually reducing it, you have a chance to get a price that only one buyer in the world is willing to pay. Maybe sometimes, you get what 2 are willing to pay, if one is gambling that nobody else will pay what they are willing to. Just set a high price, and allow offers to be submitted to you. Usually the top several people will submit offers on a very expensive item in high demand. You will gain a lot of information from that. Auctioning something on eBay is not like a Sotheby's auction in NYC or Barrett-Jackson auctioning cars in Arizona. In those cases, they gather so many high-quality bidders with so much money and so much interest, that getting one bid increment above what the 2nd highest bidder would pay, is more than you could get any one of the bidders to pay without the competition and excitement of bidding against wealthy rivals in a prestigious venue.

I really don't understand your number 6. My experience has been exactly the opposite. If I limited myself to just trying to buy the same things, there would never be enough of it available to make a full time job out of it. I buy local liquidation, and there just isn't ready supply of the same things. It changes day to day and week to week. I learned early on that to be successful, you have to be on the lookout for literally anything you can sell for a profit. Over time, you gain more and more knowledge and experience all the while constantly building up your available inventory and making more and more sales. Limiting yourself to a niche is a quick way to get bored and never really up your sales. Ebay customers aren't looking for you to be an expert in anything. 99% of customers won't ever even communicate with you. I sell things all the time where I have absolutely no idea what they even are. LOL. If it has a manufacturer and a model number though, I sure as heck can find enough info to list it.

@@dailyrefinement I suppose it depends on your access to inventory. I live in a great area (Charlotte) for liquidation. No shortage of store returns and overstock at all...but it's always random. 7 years in and I've never been able to find an actual wholesale distributor for a steady stream of consistent product. I take that back, I found one who required a purchase commitment of six figures per month. I'm always looking to improve (and I honestly like the randomness of my products), but I guess I've somehow missed the boat on sourcing consistent inventory. Because of that is the simple reason why I don't niche and have become well versed in multiple product categories. It's certainly more work though. When at most I can purchase a pallet of something at a time, I'm forced to constantly take new pictures and create new listings instead of just adding quantity. There would definitely be a benefit to that, I just don't see how to get there. (To clarify, the most I've ever gotten of one product is a pallet worth. I love those, but they are rare.)

Ebay will tell you that your organic impressions created more listing views than your promoted impressions, but then Ebay will claim your promoted listing views converted into more sales than your organic listing views. This makes no sense at all. And Ebay will show you that 100 people looked at your top listing and then those people went on to buy the exact same item from someone else, even though that someone else had a higher price than you and less social confirmation (less sales) than you have with your listing. Again, this makes no sense at all.

Before finalizing the purchase, the buyer requested a waiver of the tax amount, stating that they would not proceed with the payment otherwise. Despite my initial listing not including any discounts, In response, I decided to offer a discount to accommodate their request. Its against eBay policy for buyer to do such things but eBay doesn't care Following the completion of the transaction, the buyer received the item but later contacted me with concerns about missing parts. I want to emphasize that I took every precaution to ensure that all components were included, as outlined in the original eBay listing. I sent photos but eBay didn't looked it. But eBay issued them refund putting me in minus .I couldn't dispute it because their page for dispute couldn't load .Very upset with eBay because its not protecting sellers. We should start a class action against eBay as a sellers.

Average resellers have a 5% monthly sell through, which means it takes almost 2 years to sell an item, they list random items in a random fashion and don’t improve for 5-10 years.

Wow if your stats are right, people waste a lot of time. I'm traveling with my small car three years, and only keep avg 90 small items up, and make $2500 PROFIT average monthly. When I finally pick a place to live, it will be back up to 160-200 rotating items at about $4500/mo. BUT.....OCT 2023 - after 10 years of selling, something has gone wrong with ebay or the economy - abnormal activity.

Your item , no matter how undesirable , should at least have casual views . Ebay does this blacklist towards sellers crap as payback for not reading their stupid emails marketing items you have no interest in and asking you to feedback this , lower that price blah blah blah, f u ebay!!

Hello, can anyone tell me why my listings don't show internationally even with opting into global shipping?

Uh oh!!! Don’t tell Gary Vee!! He swears all of us can EASILY make $3000 PER DAY flipping bullshit from TJ Max. Even tho NO ONE does this.

Gary Vee is dope. He helps people realize it’s not too late. Or you’re not too old

if I schedule listings to publish daily, does that please the ebay consistancy algorithm?

hmmm ....if its a top selling item you sell it. might be different if you have average stuff . keep refreshing items , title , price etc

Very informative but unfortunately the back handed perception that every Reseller is 100% income dependent on reselling. A small percentage will be successful making 6 figures annually. In fact your running a business which formal education is not going to replaced by watching KZread videos or paying for tips and “training”. Should have used a PowerPoint presentation.

I get my items in charity shops, so my initial outlay is quite high. There is no way my profits are as high as you are saying most are. On a £7.00 item, I will have paid either 3 or 5 for the item alone! ebay takes a whopping 17% of the £7.00 + cost of postage! I am lucky to see £1.00. I do it for a Christmas box with high returns. Not even a living!

Multiple quantity listing can also account for this discrepancy

I currently list on 3 platforms. I make roughly $1.2k on ebay, $2.5k on poshmark, $500 on mercari a month in profit after all costs/fees. I'm scared to list on one platform and maybe end up making less money. What would you advise me do? Thank you!

Focus that effort and you’ll easily do $10k on one platform. Get all your mental real estate back. You’re a beginner on all 3 sites.
