Hello Scotland,

I have read all the comments about this post and yours JUMPED out to me... You are so onto it. I went from a personal account just selling with no store doing absolutely fantastic with everyday multiple sales and since I opened a store with the free BIN listings which don't work I have lost 90% of my business. Auctions work... BIN don't. I am so going to try what you suggested starting today, adding 10 or 20 items a day from a variety of my categories to cover the market, 30 day listings not GTC... I agree they are not coming up in the searches until they are nearing the end. I have faith in your study and your findings and I am sure it will help. I don't sell overseas only post to Australia so don't have some of the other issues sellers are experiencing.

Will give you some feedback on this one in a few weeks. I also also tried listing some of my items from different categories in AUCTION format to attract buyers into my store. I have a wide variety of items from vintage,  ladies & kids clothing, porcelain dolls, teddy bears, books, collectables and unique items as well as my own kids stuff to sell. I am always adding new finds to keep people interested. I know what people buy and what they don't from my own findings.

Thanks for your input

Jessika
