Warming up the meme…
I have missed a day or two since April 1 but my sales today alone have been crazy. I have several hundreds of dollars of packages going out. All my recent buys have been paying off as they have already been paid for.
Same here, one day no sales then the next day 4 or 5 sales at once. Not a streak but volume of sales is randomly way up.
I have 0 sales since the hype of sales lol.
I have sold through my Mr and Mrs X. And Rogue and Gambits. Pretty much everything I purchased on my last two “inventory restocks” have sold.
I am hitting a local con next week on my birthday and a .25 back issue sale on FCBD to try and load up again.
I usually keep around 200 active listings up to 210 at any given point and listing stuff regularly. I am down to 170 active listings at the moment.
2026 has been good to me.
I went on vacation for 2 weeks to visit family. Scheduled time away on eBay and left the account active for sales while I was away to see what happens. During this time I did not list any new hot books while I was away.
Sold 46 books. All stuff that was sitting on my listings for a while so I’m happy.
Did you get any “why hasn’t my order shipped yet?!” Messages?
I sold maybe 10 comics the 6 days I was “out” and even with the away message got one.
Congrats. I’ve used Time Away three times so far, and each time I sold quite a bit while gone. Ironically, once I was home I had a several day drought. I’ve read others talking about this, too - not sure if it’s coincidence or by design.
This time no because I did a preemptive strike by setting up automated messages. I had a couple buyers buying the first 2 days while I was away. I sent them another message to let them know I’m away and won’t be shipping out books until I return.
I did this because the last time I was on time away I got a flood of messages saying why I haven’t shipped the books. One guy messaged me asking me when am I thinking about mailing out the books. I told him that as mentioned on my listings that I’m on vacation and won’t be shipping out books until I return. Then when I got back I shipped his books right away. He left me a positive feedback saying the books were mint but the books took a long time to ship…![]()
