**Make Me Rich This Year eBay or Else!!**

I feel naked - I have nothing listed at the moment. I don't like it.

It will be rectified tomorrow night - have quite a bit ready to upload, phew.

Well i can't blinking well find it now either :mad:

If you go to my ebay - All Selling - at the very bottom (unless you've moved it to orgnaise your page) the totals should be there under Listing offers

EDIT: Got there finally... If you have not listed anything starting at 99p yet this month you will not be able to see how many you have left.........How stupid is that, i spent ages 'looking' for it :rotfl:

Should there be a free listing weekend remember to start your items at £1.00 or more and not 99p - i tried this last FLW and for some reason 5/6 items that had been on 99p relistings several times got bids. People seemed to prefer the £1.00 start price. Also i think i read somewhere the 99p totals will not show during free listing weekends.

Hopefully gonna get some stuff on this weekend. Lets hope it's free listing

Alleycat

Am joining this thread as I've got so much stuff to Ebay. I do little bits here and there but need to get more organised and SELL MORE STUFF!! Currently got 6 listings on at the moment. No watchers or bids yet though.

Does anyone else find themselves obsessing over hits and watchers?! I've got an Ebay app on my mobile and whenever I've got things listed, I'm constantly checking them.

Aesop

I have sold stuff at 99p on free listings, had mini bidding wars on them, so they do get seen. I don't think there will be a free listing as we had them 2 weeks in a row. With it being Easter, they probably thought not as many people would be listing.

Alleycat, I do obsess, yes, luckily I can't see much on my mobile, but if I have time, I will take a sneaky peek at work!

I have 8 scheduled to go live tomorrow (obviously cleverly avoiding the extra schedule fee) and about 20 other items photographed.

Fredula and Aesop, I wonder when the next one will be, too. I thought encouraging listings over Easter might have been a good idea as I think it may be slow otherwise.

Sleepless, you know you do one item a day, how do you manage the post office runs, you don't go every day, do you (that would be the death of me)?

idlesaver

For all of you experienced Ebayers, I have got a query, is it worth listing during this long weekend or people would be busy enjoying outside???

I was thinking to list few items today of course by paying fees, as its unlikely to have free listing for this long weekend.

Thanks for any help.:)

FrugalLina

I don't know, Idlesaver, I can't decide either. I think a lot of people are out and about more, socialising, holidaying, spending time with family, so I have a feeling they are online a lot less. But on the other hand, they have extra time off work....

Unfortunately, I haven't enough experience to know what has happened previously.

Welcome Allycat, good luck with listing. Annoyingly watchers often don't traslate into bids but that doesn't stop me organising my selling lists by the number of watchers lol

Fruglina i always 'store' my ready to go listings by using the schedule option. I save them up and then go back and upload them all together on a free listing weekend, usually for 7 days then i'll have a big wrap session on a sunday night and post mon, tue, wed depending on when people pay. By doing this i've often found when i've planned to go away for the weekend and on friday morning they announce a FLW, i have my listings ready to be uploaded and it takes the pressure off to make the most of free listing

Idlesaver there's plently of snow up north so you never know. I personally have avoided the Easter period, kids on half term & good weather etc. Why not do your listings anyway and schedule them?

Today i have spent 4 hours solid sorting & photographing items :A I think i have enough photographed for a one a day for the next six months :eek: I have also put the items in bags similar items together to make it easier to list, so i can grab one bag and work my way through it so it doesn't get too daunting.

During my two weeks off work i have set myself a target of preparing 50 new listings (target to compensate for falling off track last month and a solid start to April). So far i have done 22/50 will try to get to 30 tomorrow i think. As it's my 'birthday week' next week and i won't want to be doing much :rotfl:
