Finally maanaged to open 2 stores, wipes sweat from forehead now "how do I stock it". Do I re-list or can I move existing stuff over? DUH

Hi Debbie well done ! You can just move things over.

Just open the advert go to 'edit' on the left hand side and then you will see the box for your stores to click on.

Don't forget to press save at the bottom of the page afterwards !

While it might be tempting to list your items as Run Until Sold there is a downside in that such listings appear at the bottom of search results and never rise from there. So they will never be 'in yer face' of potential buyers. They will also not be displayed as 'Closing Auctions' which gives added exposure.

Consensus is that you are better off running for a set number of days (say 10) with 10 auto-reposts. That allows your items to percolate to the top of search results as each period expires but the listing still remains valid for around 3 months (if it hasn't sold in 3 months then you should be looking at the listing anyway).

Run Until Sold is best suited to those unique items that buyers rarely come looking for, are looking for specifically and will have little or no competiton in search results..

And very important, if you list your items as auctions, and do the 10 automatic relists, Google picks them up and advertises them. Often within hours. This is the source of all of our new customers. So make sure your things are listed on google.

Also might want to make your items Buy It Now too. Sometimes someone will not want to wait 10 days until auction closes.

Also pop the item into one of your stores, people will find it that way too.

Lots of ways to guarantee your things get more exposure.

Thanks will do some adjustments, my stores are finally done just pending at the mo. You are all so helpful

Well done Debbie. One more bit of advice (if you can stand it ) - just looked at your shoes, and although you say they are new, you don't mention if they are boxed. A bit more information may help you with your sales.
I'm only helping because we're practically neighbours.

Thanks for that I will make the trip again and add more info. A question for delta48 when you say make sure they are listed on google what do you mean? Thanks in anticipation

Actually it's the buy it now items that get picked up by google. so if someone does a google search, they should show up
