eBay is not going well for us
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- eBay has not been working for us like it used to, we lost our way, and now it's time to get back on track. We recommend getting to 5 items per day listed on eBay to see the biggest boost, but if you can get to 10 items per day with a high average sales price, you can start to take reselling from a hobby to a full time gig.

If you want to change your eBay store, follow the 3 things we talk about in this video, and consider joining the most diverse reselling Discord, where we teach you 10 other things you need to be doing for the best results. www.patreon.com/ChaseAfterThe...
I've watched your videos. I know I need to join a community to motivate myself, it's going to take accountability and tips to fuel my drive to start taking it seriously and getting this stuff rolling. My question: I sell video games as ~40% of my inventory and the other is hodge podge from lockers. Would your community and the tips be useful in my entire eBay business or just specifically to video games?
Consider adjusting your prices lower. I have tried buying from your store and the prices tend to be a bit high compared to elsewhere.
100% correct you’ll get more sales listing 60 items a week doing 10 each day opposed to doing 100 listings in 1 day out of the week that’s #1 rule for me
I've always noticed that on days I don't list, I get 1 maybe 2 sales and sometimes none...but on days that I list, it's always consistent sales.
eBay has directly stated that listing daily does not affect the algorithm. It is just that you are making more listings, therefore selling more stuff.
Where are you getting this information from?
The bottom line is-you need to sell good stuff. If I don’t list anything for 3 weeks, and I list 3 Gucci purses for decent prices on the 22nd day, all 3 will sell within 24 hours. You just need to have what people want at the right time.
Ebay has been slow for me this month. Your 3 tips are great and will be implemented!
Absolutely love this style (and content) of video guys. Interesting and informative for other sellers!
Hey Chase, while what you say is true, and there is a lot of stuff to optimize ebay sales, please dont forget that ebay has a lot of problems right now in regard to their algorithm. Many ppl claim this. Lots of senseless updates and always working on something which destroys the algorithm.
What people can do is call ebay, they can synchronise your account, and eventually after it or after 2 or 3 days it will pick up again.
I wish ebay went back to the roots and focused more on their Seller, not on the costumer. Wish you all the best.
They make changes just for the sake of change. Some are good, but most are useless and also cripple their rickety old site.
Being consistent listening items daily on eBay definitely is the way I have doing for years I will set a listing goal for the month depending on inventory 5 to 20 items daily this will keep your selling status up and reputable on eBay great videos guys keep them coming
Thanks for the tips and content Alex and Chase!! God bless guys!!!
Ebay has been very slow in general lately for myself and for some other resellers. Nice to get these tips.
Glad it was helpful!
It’s about 10% down from the last 2 years January for me
i have noticed this aswell
Not slow here. Listing 22 every day for 6 weeks consecutive, selling similar on 55 items individually per day.
PSA aren't grading those blank cards but pretty sure CGC will
Sellers are pricing too high. A lot of collectables peaked over covid lockdowns. Offers and discounts work.
It can take up to 90 days for a eBay listing to go up on google so stop and relist strategy has to take that into account if your impressions are from within eBay or from outside ebay
Maybe put anything you can find of Mahomes, Burrow, Brady or Hurts stuff on there. This is Super Bowel season. I see thousands of Super Bowl Bud Light advertisement stands coming though work.
Oh my god.. my selling this week has been cr%p soo glad u helped
I personally think the fact that ebay even works this way is a bunch of BS.. but thats my opinion..it was so much better back in the day ..but isnt most things.
And for those saying ebay has been slow:
All sales have been slow. Inflation has been a mother trucker, and the dollar has lost much value, making it harder to justify unnecessary spending. Long gone are the days of cracking 12 egg whites into a pan for survival. Prices are up across the board, with the value of dollar doing nothing but decreasing, and people not making enough.
We’re in a crisis as a nation.
Very informative. I have been out for while but want to get back in to the game. Trying to research as much as possible. Thank you for you Tips.
At the end of the day, more sales is just about consistently listing desirable items + serving the customer as quick as possible (shipping, messages, offers).
Good work
My favorite advice / tip for this video is how many times a day to list on Ebay! Thank you guys!
Have you done any research on creating your own website to sell product? Via a shopping cart; Shopify etc. You would be able to generate sales with no fees, minus the monthly cost of the website which can be as low as $30 a month and credit card/paypal fees. I know of companies that list product on eBay and their website. When the product sells on their website, it gets removed from ebay.
Sort of. There's always going to be fees, even with sales using platforms you mentioned. I wouldn't use it to sell items that I would list on eBay. I'd rather have millions of potential buyers then a few thousand that somehow manage to find the site naturally
@@catrpcrew Great to hear you've thought about it and weighed the pros and cons. Awesome videos as always.
By implementing your 1st. suggestion (Send out offers) I already generated 2 sales within 20 minutes of the offers going out!! Do I need to pay you guys a commission on that?! LOL!! Thanks!!
This was a pretty helpful video for those that have volume and need to post. :D
listing daily and end and sell similar is something i've been doing. for the 1st time ever i just sent out offers (about 100 items).
let's see what happens...
Love to know what the results were!
had 2 sales from the offers. :)
What do I do if I don't have the merchandise to list something everyday? I just started a few months back. My finances are very limited right now because I am in the process of paying off a lot of debt. But I can say when I was listing stuff everyday my sales were way better. Love you guy's. You're awesome. Stay blessed y'all
I respect your hustle with paying off debt! Keep it up. As far as getting inventory goes, I would just start with whatever cash you have, get what you can as far as inventory goes, and work your way up at the speed of cash as you go. Work to get to one a day, then work your way up to 2, then 3 and beyond
@@catrpcrew and this is why I love you guy's. Stay blessed y'all. I was thinking of flea markets with extra cash until I get really going since yard sales are pretty much done with where I live.
Look around your home, you would be surprised at what you don't need but will make a few dollars, tell a few friends what you're doing, they will probably have items for you to sell
Ncaa 14 will be obsolete soon, they are making a new one supposed to drop this summer I believe.
I'd like to buy the blank cards if they're still available
Idk if this will work with the stripped/corroded Pokemon Blue cart, but if you put a thin piece of cloth or other material between the screw and the screwdriver, the extra material might grip the screw tight enough to unscrew it.
My sales were bad for several months then I realized pricing my stuff just above market value of other listing thinking I can get more for stuff just didn't work. So I lowered my price to market value or just at the lowest listing for stuff and I've been selling alot the last few months. My impressions went from 15k to 25k a day to now I get between 55k and 80k impressions a day
Great job analyzing and adjusting!
I'm definitely going to try this challenge.
It’s even better if you do it with our community! That way we can cheer you on!
I just want to go thru your og xbox shelf. I am only 300 short of complete
It's also been slow for me
I’ve done all this and nothing! 1 day if I’m lucky!
Awesome tips!
Only CGC will grade the pokemon oddity cards.
The eBay algorithm is definitely a thing I’ve seen. 10 listings a day works! Quick question though, does anyone know if Amazon FBA has a similar algorithm? Do you have to consistently send your inventory in to bump up sales, or is that more to do with sales rank and the price you list at?
Amazon does not have an algorithm that we know of. Though they do also reward consistent sales by increasing storage limits and increasing the likelihood for buy box placement
Dude has inventory that everyone else has and you wonder why he's not making sales.
I’ve signed up for the patroon and can’t get access to the discord. I’ve messaged you guys and no reply
We’ll check our Patreon messages! Patreon’s platform isn’t always the best, and messages aren’t always shown our way until a day or two later. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Make sure on Patreon, you go into your settings and link your Discord account so the bot can automatically add you
WHERE do you guys get your games and consoles?? I'd be lucky nowadays if i find one decent game at a yard sale.
No volume?

I know you guys know all of this, that was more for anyone that might be new to eBay or are experiencing slow sales.
Best comment for sure. My wife and I do all of this. We list 30 a day and currently sell 23 items average a day.
So our store is growing (giving us more sales every month) and we’re not having a slow down in sales.
derek marshall -i do all these things but have a problem with usps scanning items when pick up and i got a few that said late shipping and got lowered down to above average so i changed all listings to 3 days but i still ship out items after buyer pays
@@peterkuhlman5341 yeah, that was smart to change your handling time. I’ve heard shipping labels being uploaded and then scanned on time is the most important metric for eBay success.
Could this method also be used when selling on another third-party seller like Mercari and so on? I have great success using Mercari but noticed a big lull lately so this is such a helpful video.
These tips are for the eBay algorithm, not sure how it applies elsewhere
So you’re saying that 0 view 6m to a year plus listings sitting in your store can hurt traffic?
So the strategy is to sell similar the listing, keep everything except maybe lower the price, and put up a fresh listing in order to get that listing to sell? Or it improves the overall algorithm? I have a lot of dead card singles in my inventory (probably 2 years plus) and never thought they could potentially weigh down the store.
Let's gooooo super stoked for this
Us too!
Yo, ebay servers have been really wonky this month. I wouldn't 100% say it is necessarily your listing habits. Someone i follow that has a 40k item store is having large gaps with zero sales and according to them the ebay rep confirmed there are sitewide issues. Just something to consider. Of course listing can never hurt with the algos. Best of luck
@derekelliott6098 I have a fairly large store as well as that guy, and it has had some dips. Dude is literally a barometer to my store. Down to two days ago when I had zero promoted standard sales. Just because you have different results doesn't mean that everyone is
Cool Video how busy is your guys discord? I could be interested. I've been selling on ebay seriously for like 3 years. I'm top rated got about 1000 items my sales conversion is like 2% ish. Some of the best sales i've had are for like TMNT #1 3rd print signed by Kevin for like $2000. I get a lot of stuff graded by CGC.
How much do you think buyer fatigue is a factor now after the retro game market being so hot?
Hello CATRP Crew! Are you still running the promotion for the discord that was going on back in December? I think I want to become a member this year!
Do it! Check out the link. You won’t regret it. If you put in the work the ROI is fantastic.
Have you finished with Ron's Hobby Shop stuff yet as I was enjoying those.
Nope not finished. We still have more to come with Ron 👍
Excellent, I look forward to them.
Probably won't see this but just buy bingo dabbers instead of the stickers you buy for your totes
Great video, when should you end listing and sell similar? How long should you wait, two weeks, one month etc..
For us usually it depends. Usually 1 month is pretty safe, but for sure anything after 3
I love and hate eBay at the same time. I’m not being negative, but I feel you really aren’t making that much money on eBay since you have to constantly list new items in your store everyday because of the algorithm.
Most of the money you make has to be reinvested in new inventory which seems you don’t make much money. I have sold over 5 thousand items on eBay and that is just what I noticed. When you stop listing your sales go to sh*t. I just feel there is no finish line when it comes to eBay. I feel if you have a 1,000 + quality items/listings in your store; below or at market price, you should still continue to get sales despite not listing everyday along with having excellent customer service and a return policy.
I just want to hear some people opinions on this. Thanks!! I net profit on average $8-$15 an item and try to keep cost of goods per item below $7.00 to clarify
get the Blanks graded
Alpad and captain console need to hit yard sales 4 you.. but chase are u harmish not disrespect just want 2 know
The deleting old listings and sell similar is a tip I plan to try. For low volume part timer like myself, do you recommend something like 1 listing per day?
Maybe do between 1 and 5 percent of your store per day
This video was interesting. I constantly list on Ebay mostly coins and I decided to part out my PS2 slim with all the different accessories listed one by one on Ebay. I ended up selling 6 out of the 10 listings within two hours. I priced based on comps and took really nice photos. I did test the system to make sure everything worked. I was very surprised how fast the PS2 items sold and how much money this kind of stuff is worth since 12 years ago this was a dog. Maybe get $20 for a PS2 Slim and $10 for an original Xbox 12 years ago. I find it very interesting 12 years later this stuff exploding in value and is considered vintage. Can you ask Chase to do a video showing what stuff used to be worth 10 years ago versus now since he should have the data or at least to the past where he kept track of what stuff was worth. I think that would be interesting for the next video.
Bawllicky the chippydippy
I keep seeing my ebay listings disappearing. Anyone knows how to prevent this from happening or how long the items are listed before ebay removes them? I've hired a VA and I will need to pay more attention now since I'll be paying for every listing they do.
WERE LOSING RECIPES!!
Does selling similar count towards your daily listings?
In my experience I don't think it does.
Hey there, I had a quick question regarding the consistency of listing. if I listed 70 items on one day but scheduled the listings to be released in 10/day increments throughout the week, should I get the same benefit?
That'll work!
How do you know if your listing is older?
Sort by start date after going to listings, active
Ebay has cheaper fees. I can’t make a decent profit on Amazon.
Where is your discord info?
CatrpCrew.com
Theres a female tool to extract the bad screw just for future reference
Do this items per day also apply for other platforms?
Just eBay
The pokemon cards that are blank are filler cards on sheets and sometimes they get mixed in so they are pretty rare to come across.
100 to 150 a pop is a fair price for the rarity.
Do you guys still sell on mercari? Just curious, I've been selling on there for about 3 years now.
Haven't messed with it much
what if i set all my list to expired after 7 day then every day i list 10 will it be ok? @3:45
Issue is it eats at ur monthly free listings allowed. so unless ur a small time reseller and not listing 200+ items that short is not necessary. I do the old 30 days and decide I wanna end these listings and redo them. Sometimes I let them sit for 60/90 days before I end them. Some items just require waiting.
it shouldnt matter how often you list,ebay charge to list that should be it.
Luckily, eBay rewards it’s best and most consistent sellers!
@@catrpcrew they shouldn't charge to list then big C.
Just drill the screw out and replace it for that Pokémon blue.
The ROI on time investment just was not worth while. If it was in phenomenal condition; we would've made it work!
ebay blows it's FBA only for me.
Diversification is a beautiful thing. FBA is fantastic as well.
Love you guys but your.stuff is 2 high
The market disagrees! Thanks for watching!
Everything you guys are talking about is a facade. EBay does not work that way. This garbage was thrown out by Chris who is no longer on eBay and no longer able to sell on eBay because of suspension. The five listings to list on a daily basis is also from a Mecari commercial that ran on UA-cam over the pandemic. It's nonsense! However it's good to see that you guys are doing what you can to keep your store up to date and accurate with the tools that you have to use because of this platform that you're doing videos on. That's what will move your profit margin not so much the other crap that you hear on a daily basis from just about everyone on here. Over the last 3 months I've driven my average tickets sale up to almost $25. Because I promote quality not quantity
Facebook groups and Facebook marketplace > eBay
eBay 135 million users Facebook 1.9 billion
eBay ton of algo hoops to jump through and strick selling defects ... Facebook much easier to list and renew and delete and relist and a more relaxed defect percentage
