once again, I'd like to share some real numbers and experiences with you.
On marketplace I sold 8? Items for a total of $280, I can't remember if this is totally accurate as I wasn't tracking these sales and deleted all the sold listings.
On ebay I sold 14 items for a total of $595.10 in sales which includes taxes and fees that the buyer paid. eBay took a total of $106.06 in fees and I paid a total of $129.69 in shipping costs not including packaging materials, my time, and mileage. In total that is $639.35 for the month.
I have had no eBay sales in the past week and only a few on marketplace. Currently I have 78 Items listed on eBay and 27 listed on marketplace some of them are crossposted. I gave up listing on nextdoor and offerup, but I'll try to list more on CL to see what happens.
I've been listing a death pile of stuff that may or may not sell, including a lot of cd's. Once I get to 100 sales and become top rated again, I will likely lot of a bunch of stuff and do auction listings or just donate it. I did pop by the habitat store yesterday and found a couple of items and got them listed when I got home. Nothing spectacular and definitely stuff that they would have never sold as it's just too specific. I'd like to keep my sourcing down to a minimum until I clear out a bunch of stuff as I'm running out of room.
Since my last post I had a 0 feedback buyer purchase a electronic device that was listed as "not working / for parts" I assumed that they didn't see that and bought it for the low price. I reached out to them and made absolutely sure that they were aware of the defects the item had and they were fine with it as I didn't want them to return it later.
Not a terrible month, hopefully this month I can sell more.
