When my sales slowed when the war broke out, I took the extra time I had to fill in all the recommended item specifics. There were thousands. What a boring and laborious task. However, I believe it helped. And what I also discovered was that I had hundreds of listings that eBay threw into the wrong category when they did their adjustment in October. Those listings were most likely as good as invisible. Some people will say that buyers don't search by these specifics. They may be right. But what you've said, Don, is something I've always suspected: eBay may bury the listings that they don't feel are as "complete." In fact, why wouldn't they? It's an algorithm. It's designed to play the odds on matching buyers with sellers.

I have actually tried to do this a number of times & it's made no difference at all. My main problem with selling anything on eBay is the lack of views, there are very few buyers compared to a couple of years ago. I looked the other day at random things, and a couple of years ago on eBay with say women's shoes, there was page after page of sold items in that category for that day. The other day I checked & it had 1 page with the same date. eBay needs to start getting people back to the platform, as some sellers will only stay on eBay so long as the buyers are around. Thank you, Don. Charles in the UK

As a follow up to yesterdays comment pertaining to four hours on "sell similar" refreshing. Just "do it", it has worked once again. In less than 24 hours, we have sold a few items that were being ghosted, no doubt about it. We have just sent out nearly 100 offers since completing the refresh process. These are similar results when this was done at the end of October, early November of last year. Don, you're the best. Thanks for providing actionable content.

Don, thanks once again. We just completed doing this and sadly wasting four hours as opposed to listing. We did this back in October as after that horrible update and it worked great. Last week we noticed a drastic decrease in sales since November and began to wonder why. This video was incredibly helpful and timely. On our to do list will be a weekly repeat of this process and more if needed. Starting with the older listings as oppose to highest price was very helpful. Convinced more than ever now that ghosting is taking place. After finishing this process a few sales occurred with the older items and many more offers. Will now commence a two day sale. You're the best.

One thing to be careful with on ending & sell similar are those where you are selling multiple quantities or have variants & some of that has sold. What happens is that is relisted at the FULL quantity you started with. So if you have a listing where you started with 10 items & have sold 3, if you forget to adjust the quantity down to 7 when you relist it as sell similar, it will relist at 10, not 7. (if you still have your full quantity available, then there are no issues) Same is you have 5 variants & have sold 2, all 5 will be relisted. So what we do is end these types of listing separately from the rest & then individually save as draft & then edit as needed (qty can be edited much easier than if your have variants & can be done on the sell similar screen).

When you end listing & do sell similar, do you only end items that have been listed for a specific amount of time? I was told it’s best to only end & sell similar items that have been listed for 6 months or more! The rational I was given Is that anything less than 6 months will impact your analytics negatively. I’m wondering how it makes sense to list & leave items until they do sell…if your paying .35$ for each listing every month & then an additional .30-.35$ when the item sells your potentially ending in the red or at a loss every time it takes awhile for your item to sell. The only way I can see to offset this is to list every day so those items that do sell quickly offset your losses. I’d appreciate your thoughts. I do agree that items w/o complete item specifics get ghosted by eBay in searches!

This technique of selling similar works best if your listing new items daily, even if it's only a handful of listings a day. Selling similar does not count toward listing new items. It's only helping refresh your already listed items. The combination of listing additional items in your store and selling similar on older items you already have listed is where the magic happens.

They look for the easy path of something like only selling similar listings already in their store and not listing new unique items as well.

If I list an item where the buyer pays shipping, and the weight and shipper are figured, then the cost will depend on the buyer's location from you. If you have a store and buy the shipping label on eBay you will get a discount off what the buyer pays. Of course, the buyer pays more if it's Priority rather than First Class, if using USPS. I have several multiple item listings that are "free shipping", and I figure the cost into the price. Yes, sales to California are a little more for First Class. I accept sales from Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands too, and get quite a few, and they always will cost me more, but I can still use First Class USPS, and I have the cost figured in. On larger items or ones that weigh more than a pound, I always specify Priority Mail, and have the buyer pay shipping. Sometimes I use a flat shipping charge on a listing, like $10 or $15, as long as I know it will go for that or less, and that way the buyer will know anyone pays the same.

You think eBay would ever catch onto this and start eliminating the ‘refresh’ from sell similar items?

Do you still end and sell similar, if your item has a watcher, watchers?

Yes if they are old watchers. Meaning any offers sent or received have been expired.

You'll lose your watchers but if they haven't made the purchase it's likely they aren't going to.

Wow... I just did this and I have to say that you made one massive, fatal error. You didn't mention that it would remove every one of my notes for these items. My notes are where I put the location information so that when an item sells I know where it is. Now I have no idea where the 200 items that I relisted are located. When they sell, I'm screwed. Panicking now.

It has never removed any custom SKUs ever that I have seen. This is done by thousands of people without issue. We do not use nor should anyone use any comment section for a custom SKU. But no one as I've said that I'm aware of has ever had the issue that you stating. We do this 3 days a week and have never lost anything nor have we had an issues.

@@TheAuctionProfessor Edit: I'm not sure what a "custom SKU" is. I'm referring to the "add/edit note" field that you can find by clicking the drop down arrow to the right of the word "edit" next to any active listings. You can verify this by trying it yourself on your end. The note will be gone. Disaster averted. I called eBay to see if there was any way of retrieving my old notes on items that I ended. The first representative that I spoke sounded like she had been on the job for a week or less. She told me that there was not a way to do so. I called back, and spoke to another rep that told me that I just needed to go to my unsold listings page where I was previously. All of my listing notes are there. I just have to manually go to each individual item and put the note back in. I came very close to puking when I saw that all of my location notes were gone. That would have been an epic disaster. With that being said, if you're like me and you use the notes field for location information, this refreshing of listings is probably not worth the effort. It would take loads of time every week to manually input all the locations back into 1800 listings. Phew!

Why isn’t Ebay advertising like Amazon? Every fifteen minutes I see an Amazon commercial. I have never seen eBay’s. No wonder nobody visits that site it’s forgotten

If I try to do a copy on the previous sale, it tells me the item numbers don't match anything. Because of selling simular they have all changed. So, how do I do that without haveing to start everything all over again?

One question: I end listings but instead using Sell Similar as you mentioned as just do Relist,, does this works the same? Thanks!
@cyphor4916
@cyphor4916 2 жыл бұрын
No, it does not work the same. Sell similar posts the item as a new listing for 24 hrs and gives it a new item number. Relist keeps all the old data and does none of what sell similar does.

Nope, doesn't work even if Buy it Now listings are the lowest in the world, or it's promoted, the Subject line is totally detailed, all the small details for the Circle to be completely blue as to where Everything is filled out, the UPC is exact as well, and photos are 4K and show all sides of an item and for Video Games/Dvd's show the bottom of the Disc with a detailed Description and 99%+ positive feedback for over 2,200 items sold. As of about a year ago, the Views for me went down by 80% and it has affected millions of people due to a New Garbage Algorhythm, Kind of like how Ebay broke off from Paypal to form "Mangled Payments" aka Managed payments. Gone are the days of transferring from a Paypal account to a bank account ALL IN UNDER A MINUTE, Now Ebay collects Interest on you're money along with raising the Percentage they are taking out AS WELL AS taking more for promoted listings all in the excuse of Covid 19 in which every company is using as an excuse to literally Cash in on. I've been selling since the early 2000's.

I use alternative websites to boost sales. Unfortunately most if what I sell just so happens to be high end trading cards. So ebay is the most trusted. Also sell similar.

Never try to make extra profit on shipping. Maybe up to a dollar at most. Customers aren't stupid and neither is eBay you will still have to pay the fees on the total cost of the item and shipping combined. As far as free shipping goes, you don't want to do best offer at the same time because your legs will be cut twice. It should be best offer or free shipping but not both. You have to decide what's best for your business but consider free returns instead of free shipping on First Class items but not priority because it will get way too expensive.
