Great new rule on eb about 50 free listings per month... your take on it?
I'm loving it! Oh wrong company and slogan.
So I use to use fixed price auctions for all my accounts including stealths. Great way to jump start free ads.
I normally use 3 days but now thinking about switching into 7 days or even 10 days what is your take on it?
Kinda blows for newer accounts that are out there. I always offer free items if buyers buy 3 or more from me. So making an auction and then waiting for payment is not my thing. I've noticed with auctions at times the buyer doesn't want it after a few days or wants to cancel it and you got to keep on checking + babysitting who paid and didn't pay. I love the fixed price, cause you can set it up to were if a customer buys they can't do checkout without paying for it. So you don't get happy over someone buying it and not paying. It's just a waste of time. I got about 4 dozen stealths I'll be launching end of this month. I only got a dozen been testing it out for a year. I noticed somethings changed from last year with making stealths with PP and what not. So back to topic.
Do you find that 5, 7, 10 day fixed auctions are as good as 3 day? I did research years ago and 3 days was the best. 2 reasons, 1st day item is in the search for "newly listed items" and last day in "going soon listed" so 2nd day it's just floating around some place. Your take on it?
I'm kinda mad at Eb for doing this and removing fixed auctions from a few categories as smaller/newer accounts only got 10 items limit. I always do 2 to 4 auctions fixed per account. So them wanting to charge .30 cents might not be much but on a low end run you $6 per month or $12 high end per month. I know it's not much but 4 dozen accounts ads up to $3.3k to $6.6k in newer fees taken away from my pocket this coming year and the many years to come. :(
So you see that .30 cents adds up pretty darn fast eh?
Also who will be the first to say "GWW to make money got to spend money..." lol
