Hi group. I am addicted to Selling Manager. There is just a constant need to refresh to see if anyone has checked out my listings... or if there are any new watchers... or any bidders... is my title right? Oh, there's an error in the listing, better fix it... why won't anyone bid? Let's see if changing the duration will help, or maybe the price, no it's too low... but I don't want it to sell for that low... but I want it to sell... why isn't anyone even viewing the auctions? Wonder if my results are even showing up. Do the eBuyers hate me? Screw them! No... I will stick it out... and so on and so forth.




This too shall pass...



Believe it or not, eventually you will be able to relax and let your listings be. I don't think it's really possible to have a 'perfect' listing with perfect timing - at least, definitely not 100% of the time (by which I mean create a listing that A) is for an item that's currntly or always in demand and B) make it so that it appeals to everyone who's 'demanding' it. All you can do is provide the most (and relevant) information you're able to, hopefully title well and see what happens, minimising the risks and other things that can thwart your success as you go (eg selling too low, having unappealing TOS, bad photos etc).



I've had listings that have gone a few weeks with absolutely no views, but then sold to the first person that did view it, while other listings gathering views and watchers but only a sale here and there, if at all, so views and watchers aren't paramount.



One day auctions can work, though generally for items that are in constant or high demand.
