Number of Listings

[Kajunrook]

Just kinda curious, I have 4 accounts, none selling the same item. Here are my average number of listings per acct.

Acct 1 40 (Very Specialized acct so low listings)
Acct 2 150 Could list 1000 if I had the time
Acct 3 105 Limited to the number of items I have
Acct 4 80 Limited to the number of items I have

I just retired and can add maybe a couple of 100 items to acct 2. Acct 1 is pretty much maxed out. Acct 3 and 4 I Could search for more items.

Do you have a point? You didn't even ask a question lol

[phaz0rz]

Why did you post this? You posted a stream of consciousness conversation you had with yourself, without asking any questions.

Congrats on retirement. I bet it feels good to get out of that daily grind.

Some pretty good limits there dude to be fair

[agent006140]

it is not how many you have listed,it is how many you have sold.

[agent006140]

In the early days of EBAY,we all have to pay 5 cents per listing,no one minds as the profit is obscene.
We get 1 free picture,additional ones cost xx cents each,a package deal of 6 pictures is like $1.75.
FINAL value fee is like 5%.
now we can get thousands of free listings ,free pictures and FVF 10%,but where is the profit?

[Kajunrook]

My question was how many listing do you have, thought the question was implied for most semi-intelligent people Phaz and 1974, LOL

[ebaystealth1974]

Negative, ghostrider. No implications of a possible question in your post.

[ebaystealth1974]

Do you get many sales from the accounts with high number of listings?

Yes, but profit is only $9 per listing before ebay and paypal fees. 162 sales last month, but I have about 20 regular customers who buy new circus wagons almost as soon as I post one. Now that I am retired I can probably go from 140ish listings to 300, one customer buys $100 (10 items) on the 15th of every month and profit on that is $90 after shipping and before paypal and ebay fees.

Such an interestingly odd item!

you are doing well,there are sellers who barely get 1-2 items sold daily

I wish to have as many accounts as you, it's great.
But I think you should focus on the quality of your product for sale rather than quantity.

[phaz0rz]

I probably have half as many listings as you, across a couple more accounts.

Works for me.

[Kajunrook]

Well the focus of my question was basically I just retired from a 150K job, although I have a new house paid off, 2 new 2019 cars I paid cash for my retirement income is only 50K a year and I a little worried about cash. So I am considering working 5 days a week to increase each of my 4 ebays to $19,000 sales each and opening a couple of more.

Question plz /we are waiting .Lol

The problem is you can find practically everything on Ebay,if not ,then AMZN,not sure opening more accounts means more income?
You will find out how it works,we will have to go thru a learning curve

kajun, at this point I think you already know the game.

If you have a plan already just execute it. When, not if, WHEN things go south, you'll have to fix it and we are here to help as much as we can.

Other than that, ask a question that could help you.

you know Ebay rotates our accounts,I have account which sells nothing for days and then all of sudden orders come in.
Someone called Ebay and asked and Ebay rep said be patient,your turn will come !!!!
so having multiple accounts selling the same or different items do make sense.
if you are retired,I assume you can do this full time,so go ahead and create more accounts,the more the merrier.
Pity the wall street analysts,when Ebay announced earnings and said we have one million new members join us last quarter!

[prodigyace]

You might want to edit your first post and input your question there so people don't enter this thread confused

[Kajunrook]

It wont let me edit it, but I pretty much got the answers I was seeking.
