    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  Рік тому

      You only pay when the items sells, so as long as you add a couple dollars to cover the promoted listings, you should easily be in the profit. If you look at eBay, you will see the "sponsored" listing is always a few dollars more than the others. This is why. You can also just promote at 1 or 2% and if you get a few extra sales than win win!

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  Рік тому +1

      Good morning. Thanks so much for watching. So I usually list between 5 and 10 items a day. And roughly 50% of those are from promoted listings. And I promote from 3 to 4% If it's an expensive item over $100 I only promote it 3%. The turnaround varies but I'm getting better at making sure the sell through rate is really high so I'm selling them in less than 30 days. But seasons change and market changes all the time. Great questions.

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  Рік тому

      The only reason they would charge you would be if the postage was short. So if the item weighed more or was bigger than what you put on the label. I definitely would try again I wouldn't let that stop you from international sales.
