What To Do When Ebay Sales SLOW DOWN!
When Sales Are Slow Make Space For 2025 Incoming Stock!
When you follow a daily workflow routine such as packing orders, posting orders, photography and listing it can be hard to adjust when things start to take different amounts of time, but we need to be able to adjust and pivot as the day requires us to!
If like me, you only have 2 orders going out today then you can reduce the amount of time that is sectioned out for - Posting & Packing and add more time to other stages of the business such as photography, tidying & optimising your space or even consolidation on your storage system.
Take this peek into my day as a full time ebay reseller in the UK.

My traffic fell off a cliff at this point and I’ve been trying to claw it back ever since 😅 posting daily, reducing oldest stock prices , improving titles etc on sticky stock, start a promotion of not already using it, or increase your % a little if you are using one. Offer coupons 10% works great for me. Or even a Markdown sale can work too but usually performs better for larger % off like 30%-40%. Best for when you want to clean stock out 🫡

    how can you offer free shipping on most things? do you add the cost of shipping into the price of the item

    • @TommyTrades96
      @TommyTrades96 25 днів тому

      Soo I never used to offer free shipping, and then I made changes to my store to do everything eBay was asking for to see if it would increase my sales. Free postage, free returns etc. I’d say it felt like I got a boost at first. And since then has balanced itself out. I generally offer free postage on clothing and then add a postage fee to the buyer for hard goods. But yeah, I just bake the cost of the postage into the sale of the item. I find having the “free in 3” days postage badge on the clothing listings really helps 👌

    Always open to conspiracy talk and I think it’s fair to say any platform as big as eBay or that uses algorithms and so on can all play god within the realms that they have created. I’ve said it many times before there’s too many strings that can be pulled and played in ways that can benefit whoever they choose, when, why and how is all down to our own individual choices 🤷🏼‍♂️ or is it…

      No, I don't tend to offer markdowns just decrease price on items listed for a while in general. Anything that takes a long time to sell I.e 3-6 months I auction off starting at a price I'd be happy with as a minimum.

I’ve been trying to take part in “sale periods” that fall into the year like Black Friday, Halloween sale, Xmas sale, Boeing day sale, new year sale or coupons. But just leaning into the promotion of these times and have seen some good success with it. While also doing the same thing as yourself. Just trying to give more opportunities to get things sold

    first 2 weeks of this month were the best sales period in this Q4 for me. If you look at promoted impressions it should show a drop off over the last week as last minute xmas buyers think its unlikely anything they buy will arrive before xmas.

      yeah I was the same, best was first 2 weeks of December if not September into October period. I was expecting a slow down as close as week are to Xmas now. But this was recorded during early December just off the back of Black Friday and Novembers sales. It’s always up and down for sure, I’m not on holiday mode for Xmas and will be building up my draft bank ready for the new year 🥳🍾🥂 might even stick a cheeky Boxing Day coupon / sale on too 😉
