listing items question

[jazzel70]

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?

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.

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

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

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

The list goes on and on

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 ?

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.

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?

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.
