Having horror time getting noticed and achieving any CD sales on EBay lately - mosty never any compeitive bidding, and even when arguably desirble items are listed very cheap - NO BIDS/no interest. is it downloads killing the business? Would have thought original CDs in good order would be sought after by collectors?
Anyone got any helpful opinons?

I'm having a great run at the moment! One of my better weeks on here. I even have a bit of a bidding war going on on one of my items, which is almost unheard of on my listings! Normally my items sell for 1 bid, yet one of them currently has 6 bids.
I think we all just have to hang in there. There are good weeks and bad weeks for all of us. Some of my items that are really slow to sell, relist after relist after relist, will suddenly have interest shown out of the blue. I guess it depends on who is looking when.

Maybe stock some other items that you may have around the house,(that may get them looking at your CD's as well).
My current ones are 4wd DVD's and car magazines.
I was going quite well till about a month ago and then it tapered of to sales now and then so I put a few different items up and I've
got multiple watchers on some of those items that have still got over eight days to go,(I would only have one watcher on some
items previously or none at all).
I then sold a couple more DVD's that had been relisted and I will be selling another that was relisted,(so that may be due to them
looking at the other items).
I'll probably need to find something else that I no longer need further down the track,(I've got a few comics lying around that
might do the trick).
As I still have over 200 of those DVD's to sell so it could take a while to sell them.

Right on Brian. When I do manage to have a flurry of sales, they are in the same week/day & often from the same State in Australia. Then there is the lull, the waiting game for a briefly opened window a week or so later. That's the way it is now. The flurry, the lull, infinitum. At least the fee / shop structure is more affordable than it once was..the carrot benefit of waiting for your structured open window to sales. Sure seems that way...jilly
