Have you ever wondered what states you have shipped to when selling on eBay? Better yet, what states have you NOT shipped to? Keep it fun and colorful, but coloring in the state you've shipped when printing the package label.
See the colorful map:
I just started coloring in the states as of January 1, 2021. Download and print a map of the United States that includes those. Here is a good example.
If you're in need of a great postal scale that won't break the bank, I highly recommend the one I use, by Weighmax:
eBay sellers with numerous item listings may encounter issues with duplicate item listings. Often unintentionally, items may be listed (or relisted) more than once which is against eBay's listing policy. eBay's policy states:
"To ensure buyers see a wide variety of options from a variety of sellers, we don't allow more than one fixed price listing of an identical item at the same time, from the same seller"
Sellers can check for duplicate item listings using a tool called "Duplicate Listing Scanner for eBay Items" located here. This is a FREE third-party tool that has proven helpful to myself, a Top-Rated eBay seller with nearly 20 years experience.
One
of the biggest questions for experienced and newbie eBay sellers alike is, “How much should I sell this item for?”. While there are numerous
ways to research selling prices for items listed on eBay, I will discuss just
one: search completed items on eBay for similar items or exactly the same item.
To see how I search for completed comps (comparative solds) on eBay, watch this video on an eBay BOLO that sold for over $100!
eBay also offers a FREE Terapeak Research tool. I use this tool when pricing rare BOLO items, including this one that sold for nearly $200! Watch how to use Terapeak Research Tool
To search completed listings for similar or exactly the same item on eBay: 1.
Click the Advanced Find link in the upper right hand corner of most any eBay
page.
2. On the Advanced Find page, enter the keyword search term (very generically).
3. Check the appropriate box for Condition (New or Used).
4. Then, scroll further down the page and select the box for Sold Items.
Optional: On the left side, click the box to search US only listings
5. Click the button to Search Now.
6. On the search results pages, the completed and sold listings appear. In the
Sort drop down box, select the option to sort by “Highest price plus shipping”
Optional: The date of sale may be important if an item was once hard to find or
just released. Newly released items will initially fetch a higher price until
the item is readily available nationwide (rules of supply vs. demand)
Using
the steps above, click here for an example of completed eBay listings for "cashmere
sweater"
A
seller can see what similar items are selling for by looking at these completed
search results listings. If desired, click one of the completed listings to see
the item auction description to verify the item is exactly you think it is.
If an
item sells quickly at the Buy It Now price, some sellers may think that they
let the item go at too low of a price. In fact, some sellers may think they
could have received more for the item and greed sets in. Second guessing the
price of an item that has already sold is easy to do, but not healthy. As long
as a seller had made money on the item (after all fees, of course), then
selling the item was a success and the overall store inventory turnover ratio
has been improved.
