I've been spending a lot of time awake, when the rest of the world is asleep. Little one's favorite time to be awake is 2 am -5am. She will be fast sleep in her swing, next to my recliner, but the minute I move her to the crib she's wide awake and screaming. It's harder for me to fall asleep for a few minutes and then be woken up again, than to just stay up.
In the past few days I have been able to list about 50 items, and have done some "remodeling" of some of my listings on Bonanza, etsy and ebay. My store was sold down to 430 items and I have been able to get it back up to 480. My goal was 500 items by the end of the week, but things keep selling, so I'm not able to get there- which is a good thing!
I know everyone says it, but it's true- the more you list the more you sell!
Here's a few of my sales for the week:
Jones New York Raincoat pd 6.99 sold for $20 plus shipping
please excuse the horrible picture- this was the best I could do while my room was being built.
Non fiction book set pd. 3.00 sold for 12.00 plus shipping
1980's prom dress pd. 2.99 sold for 50 - shipping (within an hour of listing it!)
and my favorite new item I've listed in my store

My goal for today is to list 30 new items. My challenge to you is to list something new today, even if it's only one item. It will help your sales.

Congrats on the new little one! Sounds like you are making the best of the "extra" time when you aren't sleeping!
ReplyDeleteI list 5-6 days a week in my Etsy shop, but it's hit and miss in my eBay store. I don't really shop for eBay and stuff ends up there by default. I need to make more of an effort to shop for my eBay store so I can list something new there everyday! I know my sales would improve if I did.
Have a wonderful day! :)
Hi Adrienne,
ReplyDeleteIt's just the opposite for, I shop more for my ebay store and if I can make it fit into my etsy store I do. I have a hard time photographing my items for etsy, ebay is a little easier as they don't have to be so artistic. I currently have 250 items in my etsy store. I'm sure if I listed there more I would sell more there also!
