I have now spent most of my day lazing about, on the phone, reading the US boards (that are worth a squiz from time to time IMO), posting to the AU boards, making coffees, snacking, snacking, snacking and not getting on with the to do list, that had as a must-do getting new listings ready for my eBay IDs that are all slowly coming to a sales halt over the past several weeks.
I haven't even messaged sellers to organise a number of pick ups that I must do this week, or answered questions re my own listings that I normally do straight away
Is procastinating about selling tasks, in fact a break, and time well spent?
Or, does one's eBay mojo fade overtime?
Tips to stay motivated to do eBay selling stuff gratefully received.

Hi Catz, If I am listing, I set aside the day and have a target of $1000 worth of listings. This usually takes until 2.00 -4.00 pm depending on what I,m listing. Once I reach the minimum target I allow myself to knock off ebay & do something else such as a walk along the beach or a drive out to my hobby farm. ( basically a reward. ). If I finish the $1000 early I often feel pleased with myself and list a few hundred dollars more. If I have spent the morning packing & mailing the listing target is $500. Having a set target with reward afterwards works for me, as I need structure to feel motivated.

thanks for tips
but procastination has well and truly taken over
I did achieve one goal over the last week or so - prepare no new listings on eBay - relist old listings only - achieved
