What Am I doing Wrong?

itsallaboutmejason — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 08:54:54 GMT

Evening all eBay Sellers, Hope the 2015 year has kicked off to some great sales.

I am in the process of starting my own online business, and opened an ebay store, listing a parituclar good product in the DZ09 Smart Watch. I use one all day every day, as my day to day role is very corporate related and it helps me greatly.

By looking at my listing through my profile, can I get some tips as to what I am doing wrong, and also, what is usually the expected stock turn around time from listed, to sold?

Cheers guys

JSC

Re: What Am I doing Wrong? Probably nothing wrong. Lots of factors to consider:-

Time of year - after Christmas, people on holidays, getting ready for back to school. Lots of other sale places now, such as Facebooks buy, swap sells etc etc

Have you researched your products on eBay eg how many already listed, the pricing, etc etc.

One I did look at quickly and that was the fancy dress costumes, at a quick glance there are approx 86,261 being sold at any one time.

I sell second hand books and compete with approx 8 million listed books, I average approx 1 sale a day & it has taken me since 2007 to get the sales that I have.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah I gathered the other social forums on where to sell products, and I'm in the process of developing my own website, along with advertising on Facebook etc.

I have managed a few sales so far, and I realise It will take time to build trust with eBAY users, something I'm happy to work at.

Cheers for the response once again

Good luck with it all.

I have never had any problems, so with the right attitude (which you appear to have already) and lots of research (competitors, costs etc) and patience eBay is a great place to sell.

There is lots of information & help available if you use the "Site Map"
