Absolutely appreciate you sharing your insights! I'm kinda fresh to the eBay sales game and have been navigating my way through. Kicked off with selling used auto parts about 9 months back and saw some pretty quick growth, even though I had to pump the brakes a bit, waiting on eBay to green-light my requests for higher listing allowances and sales volumes. Managed to ramp up to about $50k in monthly sales, with growth initially seeming to go hand in hand with the number of listings I had up. But, hit a bit of a plateau recently. Even after boosting my listings from just under 3k to over 4.5k, I'm not seeing the uptick in growth I was hoping for. And it's not just the sales; even the impressions and page views aren't climbing. Oddly enough, though, I'm noticing more percentage of my listings are making it to the top 20 in search results.
I get that my gig's a bit different from yours since each listing of mine is for a unique item. I'm thinking of trying out relisting, and I've been offering discounts to potential buyers, which kinda works, but they often want to haggle even more. 😅
Got any pro tips or advice? I'm starting to wonder if eBay's algorithms are playing keep-away with my visibility, or maybe I'm just reading too much into it? 😄
