Well I had hundreds of auctions starting at two dollars and some change. Most sold at that so it was a little disappointing but at least I can turn my inventory over. Many of the items had been listed for awhile.
Over this long three day weekend over fifty items sold. I was so thankful that the post office was closed on Monday for Labor Day because it gave me more time to pack and ship. I did three two hour increments...so it took me about six hours to pack over fifty items.
I'm proud of myself. Of course, I need to increase my speed and up my auctions. I still don't know how to make a living doing this but I keep trying new strategies. I hope that sales pick up with the increased auctions and that the approaching holidays help too.
Fellow eBayers - Do you find that your auctions bid up or do you items sell at the initial listing price?
I find that a few items bid up but not to where I would like them to...Most sell at the initial price. I will keep studying key words and categories to try to find the "secret."
In the meantime, visit my eBay store because you are bound to find a great deal!
