How ebay seller can list so many products?

[haiz-zha]

Hey guys,

I am totally new to ebay. Just wondering how a new seller can list so many products? Did they source all products with small amount and listing everyday? It is so risky to go all-in if some of the product doesn't sell. 

Is there any tips for new sellers?

I am not sure I understand your question.

Can you post  the item number of one of the (many) listings by a new seller.   Normally new sellers have a very strict limit on what they can list unless they already have another account in good standing.....this can allow them to list more than the average new seller.

Thank you for your answer. 

I understand there is a limit for listing items. My question is how the seller have so many listed items in their store? Did they purchase all items and then list on the store? That's so hard to source so many items and list all of them.

Maybe they sourced their items before they started selling. Maybe they are dropshipping.

We'll never know, because the seller is unlikely to give away trade secrets.

And it's irrelevant really. If the situation doesn't apply to you, it will make no difference to your selling.

Store listings are quite different to the listings by a new seller but even stores have a limit when they are first opened.

Until a member has a certain number of sales they are still limited even if they have a store.

There are several levels of store......the seller pays anything from $25 to $500 a month for various listing limits (don't quote me on those amounts as I am not a seller).

If you are going to sell on ebay don't even think about a store until you are able to list 100+ items and have a good sell through rate....it is not economical.
