I have been an eBay seller for almost 10 years and this is a very common question, eBay's algorithm is a mystery but I have many times seen a moderate surge in sales when I list an item, coincidence? Impossible to confirm or deny, sorry I cannot provide are more reliable reply.

I've been listing daily to work through the stuff I have to sell. I'm treating it like a challenge and I also enjoy it. I've been pleased to have some things sell quite quickly. Other things haven't sold but I figure you just need one person who really wants it!
There are many things you can do to boost the algorithm. I’d suggest listening to Daily Refinement on youtube, he seems to know the inner workings of ebay.
This method is not accurate and has been discussed before. There used to be a paid subscription in ebay that allowed you to see what any seller sold for up to the last 12 months . Since then I am unaware of anything else that would give an accurate result.
You can also click on a seller's listing and scroll down to near the bottom, and it will tell you roughly how many items the seller has sold for all time.
I agree with Jelly that January is not a great month (some people also have to pay off their cc debt for all Christmas presents etc.).
80-90% of the items I see in my feed are now from the US, sellers who promote their listings I guess, so I now have to check my favourite sellers (mostly small sellers) individually. Promoting your listings seems to be more important for eBay than how many items you list, or how often you list items.
You're using inches for your measurements. Since we don't use inches here, it would be worth putting in the metric equivalent.
People don't have as much disposable income with the cost of living. Sales are down for many sellers. Also, people are away now in school holidays. January can be a very slow month.
List as often as you like. It's up to you. Ebay don't care how often you list items. Some people list new things every day, others only list once or twice a month. It's entirely up to you.

Sales, or lack thereof, have no effect on how often you list. The problem would seem to be with you.

·3 years agoHow do you determine the number of items a seller has sold?

·3 years agoGo to the seller's listings then tick sold items on the left (completed items is automatically ticked if you tick sold items).

OP3 years agoThank you I will change that so it would be ok to not list something every day?
