How are your 5 cent listings doing?

[girlie_susy]

Hello All,

I'm just curious how other people are doing with their 5 cent listings. I have a bunch of watchers but hardly any bids.

Thanks in advance,
Susy

OK, but you really can't form any opinion until they are over. The bulk of bids always come at the last moment.

TERRIBLE!!!! last two weeks have been my worst ever. i can't figure out why, but things better pick up soon, i need to sell items so i can get money so i can go out and buy more items to sell 😞 i spent about 2000.00 on merchandise in the last three weeks, and have seen a little less than half back, let alone a profit 😞

[girlie_susy]

yeah, me too!!! I thought I was the only one! these past three weeks have been bad for me. i got an email from eBay saying that i haven't sold enough and that i will be stripped of my ps status. :_|

girlie_susy - I check your site and my only suggestion would be that you need to list more items -- 25 items will not help much in growing your sales quickly as the selection of merchandise you have to offer is very limited. Plus with 25 items a typical potential buyer will only spend under 30 seconds to view all your merchandise and then there gone.

Thank you for the tip futuretech. I will list some more this weekend. It's just so discouraging when all the profit that I make seems to just go back into ebay fees. 😞

You have to read about Vladuz who break eBay security system. People just stop trust eBay! It better that eBay fix this problem and if not stop use it!

That is not full information. You can find on another websites more scare information.

[bestshowtime]

Sorry, I can give you these websites because they will boot it. Just go to Google.

The last 3 weeks have been slower than usual for me as well 😞 I notice that even my competition is slow as well. 2 words TAX TIME!!!

Hey, the 5 cent listings have been slow but I hope for some late action when they close! Keeping my fingers crossed!

ebay sales ALWAYS fluctuate. Sunshine is right...there is usually a lull during this time due to taxes being filed both here and in the U.S. On a positive note there is usually also a bounce in a month or two when those returns roll in.

You should also expect a significant drop in sales, depending upon your product line, due to the warmer days. Sales in my home decor lines are usually slower from June through September as people are outside rather than on the net.

Everyone can dream!

Thanks, Monique, that is good to know. I hadn't considered tax time and my sales are certainly slow right now.

I am glad I listed a lot of them for 3 and 5 days. I sold quite a few but more went unsold. I have more ending tonight with only one bid so far, and that was placed a few days ago. So far I haven't found 10 cent listing days that good, but at least it is cheaper and gives me more exposure. One can only hope!

Hello all,

so, how did your 5 cent listings do?

:8}

[zarzuella]

Poor. Listed 9 items on another selling ID, sold 2 plus a second chance offer making 3.
Listing (worldwide) on .ca just does not get the same results as listing on .com. But it was only 5 cents.

28.2% sell-though, a little better than average for promo days. As expected considering the widgets were also slightly better than average.

Thanks for everyone's replies. Keep them coming 🙂

I had a 28% sell-through, with one bidder that ended up retracting. So I guess 24% sell-through.

Not the best, but right now I'll take what I can get!!!
