Doing SEO is PITA... way mor pita than ebay, amazon and etsy together. And believe me it's way more frustrating.

If I'd do SEO, I'd look out for a cheap zombie army and buy them laptops to do the work for me.

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

well, I can't blame you for wanting to stop ebaying.

Nowadays, nothing is easy and there's no free rides.

Maybe take a vacation and a break then come back to it.

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

I only sell in my passion zone. I dont sell items just because I can make money. One of the reasons I dislike amazon so much. It is boring and sole less. Ebay can be fun still. Awesome pictures, product launches etc... Most of my best friends across this world I have met on ebay because we are passionate about the same items.

A few years ago I did sell some electronic items on amazon for money. Made thousands of extra dollars a month and hated every single aspect of it. Hated the buyers, hated amazon and ebay and I learned to hate selling so I quite. That is a job and I have never had one before those days and I will never have one again.

Best advise ever.

Regenerate, stay away from it for a bit and then overthink your decision. You can still walk away after. Taking a vacation also helps motivation.

If they can find a niche or build a business around something they like, good for them.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't do it for free, and I don't think you would do what you do for free or at a loss either.

If I have to work, and I do, I might as well make the best money I can for those hours I put in and the risk I take.

All this 'I'm going to concentrate on my SEO skills' talk is just that - talk. It's a cop out to avoid doing the hard work of selling product and servicing customers.

I've yet to see 'organic search results' and 'SEO skills' get a product found above someone who's paying $5 per click to be at the top of the page.

Ban Chinese sellers on ebay!

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

Yeah, that's going to happen - NOT!

Happened with me this week. I e-mailed Ebay and they kindly said **** off. I shot the seller a message and luckily enough they were cooperative and changed the pic!

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

Do you mind if I ask you a question?

Why do you not QUOTE CORRECTLY ?

The name of the person and their text is needed.

Your above quote is good material. It would be a GREAT one if the name of the poster was included, ie, Gladiator!. ;)

Do you know the correct format to quote?

:peace:

I always wondered that too GB.

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

I wish a lot more sellers should stop selling, so I can rule the marketplace...

Can not work.

Your crypto world is hanging with bated breath for you.

Just checking to make sure you read my posts

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

I am not picky in theory but in practice I would only sell anything that is low hassle eg low returns, and good margin and ethics are ok - so that makes me picky I suppose and excludes alot.....the hardest thing is getting good suppliers anyway.

You have to be in a position of strength to be able to drop people or things in life. Some noobs just do not have that option yet.....

That was his first relevant post on here. I'm pretty sure!

USPS fee increases drastically every year

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

1st World problems.

Consumer increases happen across the world.

:amen:

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

USPS almost went bankrupt a few years ago so it feels like they are just catching up on their prices now.

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

Which is the federal governments fault for their requirement of retirement funds for decades. USPS is sitting on millions.

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

Exactly, plus that cost is usually passed off to the customer so it shouldn’t be a deterrent of a seller.

Re: I stopped selling on eBay
 

I am planning to star selling on ebay as new seller account is usualy limited to sell, is it good idea to buy an account and start selling?
