To all those that say nothing sells here

[selkab]

I just made a CAN$225.00 sale last night. The buyer bought 15 items at $15,00 each.

That makes 19 sales total so far this year. I had 58 items sell last year.

Not bad for just sitting around doing something to "Keep Me Out Of The Bars" LOL

@selkab

CONGRATULATIONS!

They have bars in Canada?



I had 2 sales. One paid and shipped, the other waiting.

[selkab]

Yup, we have lots of bars but I hardly ever go, I just don't do the bar scene unless they have cheap appies or steaks.

Congratulations, a nice start to the year.

Beats my 3 so far, but 2 of them were making their first purchase on Ebid and the other returned this month to buy another item after buying one in December.

Great stuff man and hope you see lots more

1 so far this year for me not good at all but IMO Ebid is a site that's now in the you'll need lots of listings to get sales stage, Its going backwards when it should be going forwards

That is my experience. 4145 sales in 2023, but that was 10% of what I had listed.

Well done Selkab !

Have sold eight this month so far, so I'm not complaining, would have been ten but had a couple of NPB's ! ... Erm, what am I saying ?! Ahem, of course nothing ever sells here and we must guard our precious listings at all times !

Hmmm! Perhaps just coincidence but last year I sold 24 items, all from the Date Lined Glass category that I'm mostly active in and where I currently have 262 active listings. So pretty near to 10%. (I have a few listings in ceramics, coins and other Collectables, which I regard as 'odds and ends' and sold none of them)

Something I noticed was that when I started listing one or two items every week, my sales gradually increased as did my number of listings. I easily got to 100, then 200, but I've [I]never[I] reached 300.

Since the Covid lock-down my sales have increased every year by one or two and are now consistently in the 20s every year. Could there be something magic about listing regularly or reaching 200 listings? Food for thought perhaps?
