How Many Listings Have You

About 450. Having about 400 items seems to generate at least a sale a day, or sometimes two. Of course last week shocked many of us, Craig, etc, I sold 43 items (new buyers, one invited from feebay,one off google). So will have to replace those and list more.
Got lots of linens at auction for good prices, one good thing about a bad economy. So want to double what I have listed.

Like putting hooks in the cyberspace water. Better chance of getting some fish with 500 hooks than 5.

The two new buyers seemed to jump around and take a variety of items: bamboo beads, vintage Xmas cards, recipe books, hankies, crochet trim, hankie holder from WWII, tatting, tablecloths. Lucky I had a variety of things to offer them!

take care,

I generally have about 200 to 250 items but a lot of the stuff I do is fairly specialised.Sales are going reasonably well and I no longer other with the dark side most of the time.
I make a point of mentioning Ebid to people I buy from online,one,I'm pleased to see has started listing on here.

Not if you have to go through 500 plus items one after another by the same seller and not even find any thing interesting
With a small listing fee this would not happen
But you seemed pleased with just items listed and not buyers buying

Yes that is a danger that with no listing fees, people can just load up absolute junk in the hope that it may sell one day. This will clog ebid up with stuff no one wants.

Possibly, but at least the search isn't manipulated to push the largest sellers to the top, so there is still a good chance of finding what you want.

I couldn't possibly disagree more. I've sold all sorts of things I would have thought would have little or no desirability, Cliff Richard, David Cassidy, Celine Dion, S Club 7, all kind of music I consider to be rubbish but which still apparently has a market. With 3700 titles in stock are you honestly saying you think I should clear out all the stuff I think is naff and dump it? Doing so would be commercial suicide. In my line of trade the old saying that 'there's no accounting for taste' is doubly true. I ditch anything that's in poor condition, anything else is listed. I sell across twelve sites and they are all free. This kind of attitude is just a modern consumerist mentality that buys into advertising propaganda along the lines of "it's last year's model, send it to landfill and get a new one". Thank god most people don't think that way or there wouldn't even be an antique, retro or vintage goods market. Yesterday's tat is tommorow's chic. Word.
