eBay sellers - next weekend is the 4th of July holiday weekend

Instead of 7 day no reserve listings this weekend, I'm scheduling mine for the 29th and 30th of June with 10 days listings so they'll end on the 8th & 9th of July.

The extra 10c scheduling fee may be well worth it so they end when there are more eyes on eBay.

    I did the opposite and reduced it from 7 days to 5....before the weekend.

    I use 1 and 3 days.

    People always ask me how I do it, but I got so many followers that know I do, so it just works. I have tried longer times, and honestly doesn't help. Prices just sit there for a majority of the days. My clientele know how I list and check my stuff literally daily.

    On something very special, I might run a 5 day, but very seldom.

    Most of my auctions are 99c start, so I let the market decide.

    check em out , good stuff ending sunday

    You must have been really happy when eBay started charging the extra $1 fee for 1 & 3 day listings. image

    How about a link to your auctions?

    TO,
    yes that was tough on the bottom line, but just absorbed it into cost of doing business there.

    What is your screen name? Most eBay sellers on this forum whine and complain about buyers not wanting to pay their inflated prices. I will follow any buyer that believes in letting the market determine the value of a coin.

    Who does not use a sniper these days? On Memorial day weekend, there were no deals to be found. I expect the same here. Snipers have eliminated those really good deal holidays I think.

    Hasn't that 10c scheduled listing fee been deleted for everybody? I haven't paid any listing fees for anything for at least a year.

    No.

    You might be confusing the 10-day listing fee (which was eliminated) with the 10c fee for scheduling an auction to start at a later date/time ( which was not eliminated,)

    There are some listing services (like Auctiva) that will schedule a listing for free, but eBay still charges 10c.

    I don't pay it and haven't for a long time. eBay hasn't charged me any listing fees for at least one year and I always schedule my listings to start at a later date and time. Maybe you don't get their ongoing promotional savings discounts and credits?

    the fee is refunded/not charged if an item sells. with .99 listings of decent coins, they will always sell.



    i am miffed they dont have any specials that include the 1-3 day listing w/o fees.



    they almost made up for it with the efficient listing method and especially the smart category suggester which is one of the best smart anything ive seen applied to technology.

    I get the Promotional Savings, but it seems to be for every listing even it if doesn't sell.

    I have a store, so maybe eBay tracks those listings as promotions?

    When I list, it says the fee is $0.00, but when I listed with a start time it said the fee was $0.10.

    I'll have to check next month to see if I get a promotional credit for the $0.10 fees. I'd use that all the time if it's free.

    When I frequented ebay... in the past... really liked the holiday weekends... always a few deals to be found.... now, it seems, the word goes out (such as this thread) early. Cheers, RickO
