We should ALL stop promoted listings, then maybe eBay will stop gouging us for more money.

I totally agree. I sell very niche and unique vintage items and for this reason I actually do not even send people saving the item a large discount offer. I do send and offer, but not above 10%. Because I know that if they really are a collector and want it, they are not going to pass by my item over a few dollars difference. Sending an offer for me is much more about keeping my item in their awareness and popping up in their inbox. It boils down to how rare is your item and who actually wants it. That's why I do not haggle, If I send an offer and the person sends me a response of, but will you take a lower price, my standard response is a very polite 'sorry to disappoint, no thank you'. 9 times out of 10, they buy anyway. I call it playing Ebay Poker.

It comes down to the fact that the more views you have, the more people that dont want to pay for your item. Great points by the Professor.

This was a breath of fresh air...as a newbie I was constantly checking my eBay feed lazer-focused on Vs and Ws. From here on, all I'm doing is listen for the ka-ching sound and do the SellSims every week. Awesome video, sire...thank you!

Congrats on 100k subscribers! Well deserved!

It's a good thing that customers don't have to view to buy. I've heard that eBay has begun placing ads on the listing page for other sellers' similar items before they even scroll to the description. It's definitely smart to stick to the niches and unique items.

I used to sell on eBay a few years ago & did pretty well. I decided to pick the hobby up again, new account now I see they want to charge you to promote!!!! I haven’t gotten ONE person to even view my items. It seems like eBay is saying either pay to promote or your item will just sit there….. not liking this! Def a money grab….

Awesome 100K subs! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Don, sending some good news. I had never done End and Sell Similar in bulk before, until a few days ago. I have almost 3000 items in my eclectic vintage eBay store. I ended and sell similar relisted about 1800. Wow, what a difference. (The other 5 hundred were listed in spring and summer.) I've sold things, or at least got watchers, on items that have been for sale for a long time. Cathy from Massachusetts

because of your helpful info, i'm doing well with my sells ! And not spending money on ebay promos, cause it doesn't work . As well all of those updates ebay wants me to do, such a waist . I spend time doing more research & better photos . Thank you so much !

Love the commercial at the end - I sang along and remembered every word!

You are my guru by the way 😊. I love to go to estate sales and I hear some loudmouth re-sellers showing off their 'knowledge' to their buddies walk past great stuff that I've learned about from Auction Professor. 🎉

Thankyou for you honesty. I really respect your invaluable guidance. You're my go to guy. Nobody can compare. I thankyou kindly. Waves from Scotland. 💐

I liked it because it helped me check myself. If i was getting no traffic on an item i would check category, title, details etc to make sure it was correct.
To me i only promote cloths and dvds and it works for me. When i tried anything else sales were the same but made less money.

Great video about you, your business and your clients and niche. I guess it is directed for those who sells vintage only and that have been doing so for many years...I have a bunch of items that I have been cluttering my garage in a very organized manner but I now started to list and it sold a few items. But I buy what I like and my buyers might have the same taste. One thing I learned : man are negotiators hhhahahaah
wish you all a good Sunday!

[davekat]

It's insane. Been listing similar items from many categories since 99'. I have no store it's not a business. I used to get views and watchers and would sell things. The last year or more it's very quiet, sales have dwindled down to very little. I don't think anyone sees my listing or nobody is browsing / buying. They push 'promoted' listing $$$. Thinking of trying another platform....

[bookfantastic]

I place things on my watchlist anticipating having more money I want to spend down the road. It's like a reminder that there is something I would like to buy that I don't want to forget. Stuff could sit on there for a long time before I pull the trigger. Sometimes I will never pull the trigger. Another reason why watchers might not mean much. I wonder if other people do this?

Don giving straight facts here! Congrats to you guys for reaching 100K Don!🏆🎉👍💪😎

Completely agree! Been selling since 2002…PIONEER DAYS (when both parties were in control of their own funds & you could MAIL A CHECK to the seller!🤣)…I’m not a huge huge seller, but decently consistent. I’ve never “depended” on my sales, it’s always been a hobby…but I pride myself on having a good eye & finding greaaat deals!! Like you, I believe many of my watchers are other sellers who want to sell an item like mine…we alll do that, don’t we?…these numbers do not matter! I’m not a proponent of immediately sending an offer to a watcher simply because …I believe this method has trained buyers to EXPECT the seller to accept the offer AND, 3/4 of the time, the buyer won’t pay! As a rule, people know they can always email the seller & make an offer (99.9% of those who do this with me, I indulge their offer with gratitude!! ~ ALSO, this allows me to modify my listing price specifically for them, SO I’ll GET PAID…the “make offer” payment system is BAD!! Buyers don’t even have to pay!..sellers get screwed!) ….I love that you mentioned the promoted listing comments 8:05-10:30. I believe it’s totally a money grab also! I have some with zero results. Forget that!! I’m new here, new sub..Your video just popped in my feed! Great video.
