listing items question
 

Hi everyone,

I just created my first stealth account and I am planning to start listing my first items.

I am going to start listing 2 items and my question is: Can I list the item and put the quantity as more than one for that item? or should I just leave the quantity of the item as 1 for both of the listed products? and then once they are sold relist the same items again next week but with more quantity ? I have loooot of those items that I am planning to sell on ebay.

Thanks a lot in advance!

In the guide it says to increase my listings weekly but I don't if that meant that I could relist the same products over and over again with more quantity each time. Can i do it like that?

Re: listing items question
 

IMO- I would list 1 at a time, especially on very new accounts.

Put yourself in the shoes of a new seller, they are unlikely to start selling large QTY of items on their first sale... I always stick to 1 at a time.

I always start with 2/3 auctions myself at first and avoid the BIN for the first month

No harm in listing BIN, but auctions nearly always guarantee a solid sale for the first few items so long at the pricing is correct.

Just one more suggestion jazzel70. careful on the item you are listing.

Avoid risky items.

Re: listing items question
 

Can you name a few risky items please?

Re: listing items question
 

VeRo, high risk electronics, clothing.

What do you think of selling yourself?

Re: listing items question
 

Name-branded items - there is a huge list...and potential knock-offs - just few examples as well

Re: listing items question
 

IF they are commonly counterfieted then they are ⊗⊗⊗⊗

Examples would be ADIDAS, Nike, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, Channel

The list goes on and on

Re: listing items question
 

I am only selling items that I have Private labelled for now. I have now added 1 more unit in the quantity field for both of the listings that I have listed last week. One of the items is sold out and for the other one I have 1 left. Do I add more to the sold out one (I have a lot more left by the way)? or should I wait to next week to add more ?

Re: listing items question
 

I usually add more quantities as soon as they sell, but only 1 at a time. So the item thats gone to 0, I would put that up to 1 again, until it sells.

Once feedback rolls in, and I get a star by my feedback, then I would consider adding more items/quantity.

Re: listing items question
 

Thank you!

Re: listing items question
 

How can I add more quantity to a listing that its already sold out? What I did was to relist the item and put a quantity of "1", was that the right thing to do?

Re: listing items question
 

You could do that.

or if the item came in different colours for example, you could apply variations to the listing - then modify quantity manually as they sell.
