To be honest recent sales only carries over from the previous seven days sales, so any re-relists of the original listing are likely to be outside the time frame pretty quickly anyway

I am only asking cos I haven’t read it anywhere which suggests I’ve missed some vital page or workshop
Thanks

How can we use automated listings now, if we need to effectively relist the same item?

I know that they keep trying to find ways of reviving auctions, but for some items auctions no longer work. Certainly they have never worked for jewellery, and they don’t work any more for bog standard CDs. It’s only the rare ones that people are prepared to wait a bit longer for.

So I’m going to end up at the bottom of the heap below all the big sellers – no more exposure than current shop listings, but for 3 times the price!

Gee thanks for nothing ebay.

So listings no longer move up the search results page? I create multiple copies of the same listing for exposure reasons.

If I only list the item once every 7 days it surely will gain less exposure – at least until the 24th?

#15 Automation rules where you list an item when one ends, or at set intervals no longer make sense. Either relist the sold item or add more inventory to an existing live item.

If you use relist the original (Parent) item the relisted item (Child 1) inherits it’s recent sales from the original listing.
If you relist item the Parent a second time (creating item Child 2) then it doesn’t inherit recent sales.
If you relist item Child 1 then the new item (Grandchild 1) inherits the recent sales from Child 1 but the sales from the parent don’t carry over.

If you use sell similar to create a new listing it’s effectively a new Parent and inherits NO recent sales.

I list all my items by using the ‘sell similar’ as opposed to using ‘relist’

Will the sales tracking monitor ‘similar’ items (i.e. exactly the same listing) as the same item – as as a different one?

I just have to rely on my 100% feedback and low prices – if that stops working I won’t be able to sell at all. It’s a shame as business has really picked up over the last few months – almost more than I can cope with.

Oh, well…here it is…

LOL, what a joke!

Check out the videos, at my website listed!

Shill buying…

And a second point:

I am not sure I understand why Ebay would want to place those with the most sales over those with least, most shoppers search by price and quality of seller do they not?

How many the seller has sold, is not necessarily an indicator of that, more an indicator of who has the most stock, is it not?

Is this just Ebays way of advantaging the big sellers over the little sellers?

Mark

The one and only reason I can see for using shorter listings is if you use listing enhancements as they cost more for 30 day listings.

Once the new fee structure comes in keep the current listings until they sell but roll them over into larger quantity multi-item listings as you relist them.

Is it true now this mysterious Best Match algorithm will not consider the ending time factor anymore when the Recent Sales factor is in place? If so, there’s really no difference between 3-day, 7-day or even 30-day listing.
