eBay Headaches

drunkwooky · May 16, 2021, 11:22pm

I have no listings on eBay, so maybe now is when I make the transition.

Yeah me neither, had to pull everything down. Might just list a smaller quantity of items from now on…let’s see how the sales go outside of eBay!

The search function appears to be screwed up. When I click on any comic era, it just pulls up the Comics, Graphic Novels & TPBs that appear to be only the Modern Age listings. That isn’t normally how it works.

I think eBay might have a piece of broken code XD

faele · May 17, 2021, 2:02pm

Yeah they broke lots of stuff…still working on fixing my listings…

This is eBay developers…

Sales are down the last 5 days but really can’t prove it is anything but a coincidence. Mercari is at 72 listings with 0 sales in a week so I am not really seeing that as any type of competition or a viable option to eBay at all.

Yes, numbers are down on eBay. I was just thinking the same thing…

I have made 11 sales this weekend alone.

It takes time. I offer bundles and allow best offers. I price higher than eBay and let Mercari lower the prices as they sit. This refreshes the listings.

faele · May 17, 2021, 11:53pm

I have all my previous listings up, and have 14 watchers so far that i’m able to send offers on. I did not put any additional information so to save time (character, issue number, etc).

I’ll give it a few days and make a judgement call at that point

I had my first eBay sale today in about a month. Had several people on eBay make 50% off offers and just declined them.

I’ve sold a ton on eBay this past week. Actually more than usual since the listing format changes.

agentpoyo · May 18, 2021, 12:57am

I’ve been doing this manually (promote at lower price) at night after I’m wrapping my day up and so many times I get someone to bite…

faele · May 18, 2021, 2:57am

Just had 7 or 8 sales in the last few minutes…back in action!

Anthony · May 18, 2021, 4:15am

Which platform?

faele · May 18, 2021, 4:16am

Ebay, I only have that, IG/FB and Shopify.

Tom · May 18, 2021, 12:14am

(See what I did with the topic title?).

I have over 4400 items listed in my ebay store and auctions. About 4000 are comics.

Ebay is now changing their item specifics and many are going to be required for items currently for sale.

Who has time to do this? Certainly not me!

Ebay jack asses!

eBay really wants to drive me away considering the manner they are behaving in.

ToddW · May 18, 2021, 10:53am

Seems redundant to start another thread in what’s already being discussed in the original thread or Maybe it’s my OCD.

agentpoyo · May 18, 2021, 11:56am

Yeah, we don’t need two identical threads talking about eBay headaches… merged.
