This Simple Change will Double Your eBay Sales (No Joke)

[@carolc.1334]

The "change of scenery video style" is great! We love to hear your thoughts on your business. Yes , I too run sales that end either Sunday or Monday. And as for smaller dollar sales, they are the bread and butter. It's great to have a good mixture of items at various price points. Happy eBaying to you!

[@rjrobbins2]

Definitely use best offer. In today's eBay, it's essential. 60% of my sales are offers. Take the cash and get more inventory

[@ambitiousseeds7346]

new to your channel, great info. i had no idea ebay had this option in the first place. I have 135 items listed (started 4 months ago) and doing it part time. I kept thinking that the more items i list the more i sell but thats not the case. sell through rate is important but holy sht! you have less than 250 listed and you do better than most people! so that proves me, right items and also the right price is the most important.

[@pic101]

You have discovered that the right items and the price are key. Honestly, this information should not be a surprise to you.

[@rjrobbins2]

I'm always running 2 sales 10 to 20 off for new listing's and 40 to 50 for old stuff.

[@bartonfamily14]

I love this! I usually do a sale every weekend also...I do not filter as much as you do but I think I will start doing that more! Depending on the item...once the sale starts..which is usually Friday-Monday like yours, I will send out offers to make sure of the sale. I had 12 sales over the weekend doing this just on Ebay and I had several on other places I sell as well. I just found you. Loved the video and I subscribed to your channel! I always like hearing new tips and tricks. I only list 5 a day and my sales are pretty steady. Thanks so much!

[@samonereaves1699]

Thank you for this info. I’m fairly new to eBay so I appreciate your insight. Plus those eyes are mesmerizing

Bro ur a genius. That sale tactic is awesome! Going to mirror it with my own store. Thank you!!

Great video! I am new to your. I normally run sales events and i see a little pick-up. Your idea sounds much more effective and efficient! Will be trying this weekend! Thank you!

[@JulieLivingood]

First video of yours I have seen and I have subscribed. I am just learning all I can before I bite the bullet and start listing on eBay. I've been sourcing for about 3 years but only learning from KZbin videos when I have spare time. Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@ksnax]

I like the idea of the weekend sales. I'm not currently a paying for a store, but I will be soon and intend to do something similar. Nothing drives purchases of interested buyers more than urgency and a cheaper price!

[@DebraLorah]

Great Advice. I am now currently having weekend sales and I notice a difference. Thank you! 😊

Your sell through rate is impressive! 😊

I did 15% for 15 Days and cleared out a lot of inventory, but I think I like your approach better. I got little action in the first week, most of it in the last few days. Thinking the weekend event will work better. Thanks for the idea, amigo!

What percentage discount do you offer customers for your offers on mondays?

Yes! Came here to ask the same question. (Great minds🙂) If they didn't purchase at 10 or 20% off, what percent do you offer on Mondays? Thanks for the video!

[@greggdrennan]

I'm sorry, I might have missed it...what day do you start your sales? And what percentage off do you send on your offers and which day do you send those out? Thanks for the awesome selling ideas!

[@dwfinds3030]

Couple questions So you wait to send your offers until after the 10-20% sale end over the weekend? Also what % are you sending your offers at? Is it similar to what the sale was or higher. Its interesting concept baiting the fish pond either they want to buy during the sale that is only 2 days or they are lured in to watch/view to try to catch them again after the sale. Thanks

[@sirJayGee]

I just finished going through all my listings and revising them with the new AI background images and have found its made a big difference in my sales.

[@sirJayGee]

I forgot to mention I did this slowly. Ending 10 listings or so a day. Editing. And then relisting 5 or so. I firmly believe being active on your account daily helps with algorithms

[@stephaniecoffee447]

[@kpratt5960]

Stumbled across your channel for the first time today..Most helpful video I’ve seen in a hot minute!! Thank You!! Now it’s time to go back and see what other tips you’ve shared.

[@askanthonynow]

Same. Never seen one of your videos. I’m a reseller. Your items for sale have to be the best available to have those sell thru or sale numbers. 🤯 I might try your idea. I normally just send offers to each watcher when eBay prompts me.

[@TimeMachineVintageNJ]

Excellent info man. I'm on board with all the activity, ebay loves that!

[@stevenrhodes3836]

I have to be honest. I’ve been on eBay for years and it’s my primary source of income. It’s rare for me to see something new that I’m excited to try and this was one of those things. I just happened to watch it on a Friday night and decided to give it a try. I sell a mixture of used and new items mixed in with some Lego and retired toys. Currently have about 2600 items listed as of Sunday early afternoon I’ve got about $950 in sales and 95 offers to send out on Monday. My weekends are usually good, but not this good and I usually send offers when I see at least 10. So I thank you for sharing this idea. I did 10% off 3-7 days and 20% off 10-100 days, because I recently did 40% off most things over 300 days thru the end of Nov.

[@ThriftBoss]

Amazing! Happy to hear that. Thanks for checking out the vid and the comment. Wishing the best q4 in the history of mankind

[@sirJayGee]

Quick question ... So you run a sale on the weekend and then send offers out to the weekends "watchers". But didn't they "watch" the item on sale and then your sending offers when the sales over? So are your offers better than the sale price?

[@jonpage8132]

I do something similar to your discount strategy. However I start mine on Tuesday and run it to Momday night. I think if i followed your process of pricing my items at the lowest ebay price i would move so much more inventory and do think that plays a big part into how well how you sell your item in addition to having high sell through on the stuff you pick.

[@valeriesantos8178]

I’m a new again reseller this yr. I have close to 150 listings but no store. I see that there’s more perks than simply shipping supplies in having a store :)

[@crystalrodriguez-criswell9492]

When did you resell in past?

[@Rosev]

There are but if u go over the free listing number u pay relist fees. I found that out the hard way. I had 1200 items and they chargef me .25 x 300 it was nuts had to up my store to theb10k free listings. Look out for that dont go over your free listing limit.

[@NewEnglandPrepThrifter]

The Age-r booster is freaking amazing. I have one I have the pro. and it’s a skin care tool. And it is well worth that price that you sold it for. I actually had one given to me by the company so mine was free, but that was an amazing find to be able to sell that.

[@robertweisberg5570]

I have a much larger store than you and our items are mostly new and not the same sort of items you sell typically. I will say as I came across your video, that you definitely have a high degree of sell through for relatively few items. You definitely have a good feel for items and pricing. That is a large sales volume for a small store. I am sure you have some specialized items and a relatively high dolalr average per item.

[@patriciac.1546]

Thank you for the tip. I will try it this weekend. Just curious what you offer these watchers when Monday does roll around?

[@sherlindamedina2970]

I'd like to know also

[@showtimesynergy87]

I tried this and I really wish it had worked for me. I'll keep trying! thanks for your content!

[@johndough23]

yep never does chit for me either. In fact none of the gimmicks work that great. The only thing which ever works is promoted listings dynamic. Total no brainer. My belief is if you don't get at least 1 watcher in the *First 48 Hours* your odds of solving the sales question on the item are cut in half.

[@moffitdrew]

Dig this strategy, thanks for sharing! I’m going to give it a whirl in my shop.

[@sjeffreyw]

[@alexdtucker]

Really great strategy suggestion, TB! Very helpful. What would you suggest for people who have tighter profit margins on their product listings? 10-20% discounts could be a pretty big bite out of profits if I’m doing around 30% profit on items.

[@ThriftBoss]

Good question. I'll address this in my next vid this Saturday.

[@sirJayGee]

Find items with bigger margins.

Welp, I tried two weekends in a row, using your method to a tee. I took into account 1. First of month, 2. Hurricane Helene. Sales not only didn't pick up but I got low-balled on two sale items. But my sales did do well on Etsy both weekends. What am I missing?

How do you ship items when away fir 9 weeks

[@brad9189]

Thanks for another great video. I've noticed a lot of your items are new-with-tags, or new-in-box. Do you mostly source those at thrift stores and yards sales? My local thrifts don't seem to carry many new items (or maybe they just get snapped up before I arrive...)

[@ThriftBoss]

Thanks for checkin it out. I source thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, flea markets, storage auctions and liquidation auctions. I do find a good amount of new stuff indeed. A lot comes through liquidation auctions, lost cargo type auctions, but I also find a decent amount of new stuff at garage and thrift stores. I think @ThriftSchool finds a decent amount of sealed stuff at his local thrift stores as well.

[@jillusher5835]

Do you also use EBay’s suggested promo rates? Great video, thank you.

[@the.johnnyv]

Great video!! Thank you for the advise ...... Do you also use the Promoted Listings? and if yes, where do you set it at?

[@sirJayGee]

I do. I usually do about a quarter of what they suggest. Just to get it up in the algorithm. They often sell without the promotion as well, which I find weird. Lol

[@ThriftBoss]

I don't use promoted listings. I know other resellers find them helpful but I just don't use them as my sell through rates are high.

[@KimMaxwell-h8k]

New subscriber! Like your philosophy. Been selling part-time for the past 19 months. Thinking about switching to an eBay store....some really good benefits! Maybe you can touch on that in your next video?!?!

[@865Picker]

Sales event is great I usually do them starting on Saturday morning and run them through Sunday night. However, I can’t filter mine the way you are here because I end all listings first usually on Friday night and then use sell similar Saturday morning followed by sales event. So, it makes all my items show up as only having been on for 1 day.

[@alisondailey3834]

A Wham-o frisbee?? Glow in the Dark? Great find & sale!! And if someone is WATCHING an item - yes, a possible sale. Good move to offer discounts, sell it, $$ in your pocket to purchase 'new' items to sell. I love selling on Ebay too!!! 15+ years now.

Do you look up comps for everything when you're out sourcing? That sell through is amazing 🔥

[@ThriftBoss]

I still do a lot, yes. Obviously I'm more aware of what to look for and the process doesn't take as long. But the first few years I would look up EVERYTHING until I really got a grasp. As you know, there's always so much to learn and things are always changing. But it all takes much less time now and reselling instincts are much stronger :)

[@Crispysflips]

We used to be able to do more than 1 percentage amount in the same sale event. I went to run a sale today and it looks like that is not available anymore?

Been running a sale every weekend for the past few weeks and it seems to help. Lets face it, peple are price driven and love getting a deal, so that's the boat I'm getting on 🎉 Thank you for posting about the "filter" strategy, I didn't even know I could filter my items, so I'm definitely trying this approach next weekend. Hoping that means I move older listings by offering a larger discount. I am curious why you wait until Monday to send watchers offers? I typically send offers ASAP, so I'm wondering if I should wait?

Howdy! Watch the follow up vid for that answer :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j17GpJiNl5aEp7c

[@helpfulcommenter]

Question. Why do you just run sales on the weekends? People are shopping 24/7 all around the world - so why not just run a constant sale of X% off your oldest items at all times, and update the included listings once a month (like most of us do lol) I'm just confused what the benefit of turning your sale off and on and off and on and off and on, just on the weekends.

[@ThriftBoss]

Because most of my items sell for full price when not on sale. Weekend sales are to lure folks to my listings. If they buy during the weekend sale, great for them. If not, no problem. The more people that look at your items the more eBay algorithm will show your listings to more people. But most folks pay full price during the week so I’d lose out on too much cash if I had a sale 24/7/365

[@helpfulcommenter]

@@ThriftBoss Interesting. I experience the opposite to be true. More full price sales on the weekend and more daily sales overall for Sun & Sat. Must be a clothing thing. I only put my oldest merchandise on sale. I find promoted listings is the only surefire way to get more eyeballs on your listings.

[@SingleFileCooks]
