I joined Ebid over 2.5 years back and have only just started to list my postcards on the site. Having been a member of the other E named selling site for over 10 years and selling well. I have a feedback rating of over 9000 there. Yet on Ebid I have 81 lots,twenty of which I have already relisted once. Todate I have not sold one item. Am I doing anything wrong.should I list my stuff in a different way. Any thoughts or help would be welcomed. regards Martin
Is it because I have a zero feedback rating. I love selling but am not having a very good time on ebid todate.
Have I listed too high although I have a spread of items at fair prices. Am I not understanding the correct way to list on Ebid.
I have about 1000 listings mainly football programmes and genealogy items although I have a few of my huge stock of postcards listed I can't remember having more than 1 bid for any of my items sold so I list at the minimum price that I want. One of the main draws to this site is the google listings so I try to be careful what I put in the titles as this is what will bring people in via google. Volume of listings is also important here- It's free to list so get as much as possible on line-If it's not listed then you can't sell it- There is general agreement amongst longer term sellers that there is a direct correlation between number of items and volume of sales unless you can corner a niche market and have your own publicity machine.
It could be worth contacting some of your buyers from the other side and letting them know that more of your items are available on e bid. Lastly there are several good guides to better selling that have been prepared from some of the more experienced e bid sellers - try going on to the forum and searching for them- Bykimbo is the best dispenser of wisdom - I have followed her advice several times and never regretted it. I posted a very similar message to yours about 2 years ago. Strangely a few weeks later things picked up and I started selling. Good luck and keep trying
