I had jeans that didn’t sell for years! They’ve been relisted multiple times to multiple platforms. Recently I just decided that I have time to rephotograph them completely like I just sourced them and price like I normally would. Well, two sold in few days 😂 Need to add that my old photos weren’t much different, so idk why but it worked 😂

So strange but it does work lol

I have taken this approach with some old listings 2 years plus. Had some jeans that were good but with bad pics. Took the listings down, snapped some better pictures now and reworked the title. Sold in 2 days as eBay engine index this listing as completely new and different. I just check listings Ending Today and it old listings pop, I just do sell similar , end it and work on a new one completely fresh.

New photos do help alot but I've tried just repositioning the same photo to a different angle on several different items as tests to save time. Well that did not work for me.

You can use Microsoft Word the same way. I use my Microsoft Photos Editor for background removal and also erase any background defects.

I love your tips. A while ago I re-did my photos on a few items that I didn't like and they sold. Sometimes relisting an item that was originally listed out of season also sells. I think I'm going to experiment and add more mens items and jewelry. (I used to sell vintage jewelry)

@tamarkohnmarks5394 3 ай бұрын

I end and relist often and then the date changes so it no longer keeps the original date since it’s changes as a new listing.

This was a super helpful video, thank you so much! When you’re refreshing old listings, are you deleting them and creating a new post entirely, or editing the same listing with the adjustments?

@cayleyelaine 3 ай бұрын

If an item is 6 months or older, I'd recommend ending it and relisting with new edits. At a certain point, items become stagnant.

@littlehalvsie 3 ай бұрын

@@cayleyelaine ok so deleting the post and “copying” a new one with adjusted edits. I imagine the algorithm is more likely to refresh with an actual new post versus editing an existing post. Got it!

GREAT VIDEO!!! just wondering what is better to send offers to buyers are drop the price of the item? if so how much would you drop the price? thanks

@cayleyelaine 2 ай бұрын

It depends on how old the item is in my opinion. I prefer to only drop prices on older items.

I was a buyer for a long time before l became a reseller 4 months ago. As a buyer l got so sick & tired of offers especially someone who sent them way too much. So into month 2 l started sending offers especially during Poshmark closet Clearout when pm send out discounted shipping. 🎉❤

@KaiaSumpter 3 ай бұрын

How do you sort your Posh closet for oldest listings?

@cayleyelaine 3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately you can only sort that way via bulk actions. But if you start the process, you can easily sort and not have to go through with the action if you just want to see. Bulk actions are the gear icon at the top right of the screen.

The thing that I hate about sending offers is that it seems that so often they counter back. I don’t mind that, but it doesn’t show what I was asking to start with, so I have to get out of the offer and go and look up the item. Am I doing something wrong? Missing something?

You can turn counteroffers off on ebay.

@roxiemack7169 3 ай бұрын

I don't understand about sorting and sending offers. I understand how to sort by watchers, likes, but when I do that and check the box by the item and choose send offer from the menu-I get a message that I can't send an offer. I do send offers daily by choosing available to send offer from the seller hub. Please advise. Thank you!

@cayleyelaine 3 ай бұрын

It's probably giving you that error because you've already sent offers to those watchers. The watchers have an offer limit. So if you've already sent it so many times, ebays system is basically glitches by thinking you have offers to send, but then when you do, it recognizes that the buyer has reached their limit.

@donkeykong1234 3 ай бұрын

i've tried the listing more for the sake of listing more and that doesn't work proportionately in my experience. ie doubling your store size does not equate to double impressions or hits or sales. so, quality matters. and that is refected by views and clicks - you cannot fake that.

i always assume each listing was its own individual traffic silo that don't see each other. you're saying a stale listing drags the entire store down or is that just an algorithm theory?

@cayleyelaine 3 ай бұрын

Yes, in theory. You're individual listings have their own performance but ebay also tracks your stores performance as a whole.

@donkeykong1234 3 ай бұрын

@@cayleyelaine yeah i'm not sure. i can agree that an entire store health, metrics and policies would affect all. but, a new listing seems like it is initially given a trial boost to see if it has "legs" and if it keeps getting hits (or better, sales) then ebay will rank it higher and higher until it becomes one of the top placed items. a term i call going viral. yes i sell multi qty items, but that positive karma on the listing continues for the duration of that listing. and if someone is selling a one off pair of jeans, even if it meets all the viral metrics, it's all gone once the item is sold. and that leaves each listing to have to start all over again

@cayleyelaine 3 ай бұрын

@donkeykong1234 on the ebay performance tab, if tracks all your metrics as a whole (like impressions, click through rate, str, etc) and those numbers are calculated based off how many active listings you have. That's why it makes sense to me that removing stale listings essentially boosts you in the algorithm because it affects all of the metrics that they track.
