Buy It Now duration advice

bellagio_2

am i right in thinking if you list buy it now for 30 days it wont show up high in the list until there is only a short amount of time remaining?

also it your buy it now fails to sell do you have to pay again to relist? what durations do people fin best for buy it now?

also any advice if you have multiple quantities of the same product, is it best to list them one at a time or all at once?

thanks

It all depends on Best Match, my 30 day BINs in most categories are on the first page but only because I am TRS. If a buyer searches purely by ending soonest then the more recently listed the further down the pages the item will be. However ending soonest is not a logical search for a BIN.

If you have a lot of identical items you can sell them all on the same BIN listing and just adjust your quantity. There is no realist credit in BIN s

If you have multiple items, list them together as then you won't have to pay an insertion fee to list subsequent items. You will also get a best match boost when you sell an item.

thanks for the replies, what is a TRS? if i have a large quantity about 100 is it better not to show that many as people may not rush to buy?

I'm assuming you are a business so there will be a benefit in listing them all on the same listing as it will clear your stock quickly. Otherwise you can only have one identical listing at a time so it will take you months to clear this stock.

TRS is a top rated seller and we get preferential visibility in best match. However smaller sellers like me will soon be losing our TRS as eBay have changed the requirements to gain it.

Is your item popular on eBay or unique? if it is in a crowded category then a multi listing will be better as it will increase your best match rating.

i'm pretty sure a BIN for that many just shows quantity as "more than 10 available" so buyers dont know exactly how many you have.
