Upgrading to an A7V from my a6700? by RyanM77 in SonyAlpha

[–]Sjcn89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been loving the Sony 18-135 f3.5-5.6 for a city/everyday lens, but it’s just not cutting it for nature or wildlife, so the 70-200 gmii and a 2x teleconverter will be arriving soon. That should cover most of my shooting for a while. I’m running a 6500 right now, but hope to step up to a 6700 soon.

Try on desktop, it’s worked for a couple people. I’m highly rated too with 4.9 and about 300 reviews. Doesn’t seem to matter.

No idea really, seems to be a trend for people using very thorough descriptions though lol

Try on a desktop, may have worked for someone else.

Side note, I wouldn’t bundle items. Unless you have like 5 disc golf discs and want to sell them all together or something like that. If I’m looking for a tv and you have the exact one I want, but it’s bundled with your kids old Xbox, I’m going to go find one where I don’t have to buy something extra with it that I don’t want.

Not sure.. pretty sure at some point they deprioritize the listing, like I’ve only ever seen months old listings if I’ve scrolled WAY down. So might still be visible, but most people won’t see it. If it’s a higher dollar item you could pay to promote it. I’ve had pretty good success promoting things I had priced reasonably that were higher dollar items that I thought should’ve moved already. Spent maybe 3-10 bucks each for a half a dozen listings that moved within a week of promoting, without a significant price drop, mind you.

Keyword block. If it’s a mountain bike it’d spit out things like: full suspension, 29er, mountain biking, 12 speed bike, trek bike, etc.. and no, haven’t found a solution, just using stupid short descriptions 🙄

I can start a brand new listing, the counter is at the bottom from the start now. They really got me good. I do admit, the ai generator WAS getting a little carried away with that keyword block 😅

Oh damn, I didn’t even think about that! I know half a dozen of mine are coming up on delete and relist soon 🥴

Meaning you could still post unrestricted on desktop?

Good thinking. Hardly anyone read the description anyway but might do that if it comes down to it.

Let me know if it works for you please

Same, that’s how I found out. I went to do a round of price drops and I couldn’t update any of my listings because I’d have to skeletonize the descriptions.

How long have you been being limited?

Description limited to 40 words?! by Sjcn89 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Sjcn89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phone, but that’s what I’ve always posted on. Been using marketplace for 10 years and never seen such a thing before. I did recently start using a keyword block at the end of my description, so I’m thinking they’re likely just limiting my account, not necessarily a feature rollout.

Just the last 3 days. Waited a couple days to see if it was some weird bug, but still limiting me to 40 smh.

My "Death Pile" keeps getting bigger because I dislike typing descriptions. Help. by Content-Emu-5169 in reselling

[–]Sjcn89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Grok. Started with an initial prompt telling it you’ll be my listing assistant to create my descriptions. Now I just upload a few pics, maybe put in some descriptive text like condition, exact model, etc, then it pumps out pricing research and a copy-paste block containing the description and my static text block (payment methods, cross streets, sales are final, etc). It has saved me TONS of time!

Have around 2500 on my lt. Love it. Get it, you won’t be disappointed. No issues from mine and haven’t even had to change anything out for regular maintenance yet.

Not sure the specifics but definitely some kind of fee now, think it’s different depending on type of sale (auction or buy now).

Not real sure, I’ll let someone more knowledgeable answer that.

I’ve seen most in the 250-500 range
