I have about 30 household items listed. Some are multiple qtys. I used to list for 7 days, but then I started getting listing fees because it went over my limit of (50?) per month.
So I started listing for 30 days but now I seem to sell less. My items are not “new” each week, so I don’t go to the top, I guess.
I’d rather list each week. Does anyone have any ideas for getting around the quantity limit? I think I go over because I’m listing multiples in some of the listings. I thought that would SAVE me listing fees but seems to work against me.

Yes, I did call ebay to have them explain, but they either lie or the CSR’s don’t know because I keep getting different answers.

@fivetalents Excellent suggestions. Those are things I’ve never done. Facebook confuses me, but there seems to be no way around it for traffic referrals. Even on my abandoned blog from several years ago, I still get facebook traffic from other people posting my site.

@mom2jel thanks. It seems that directing traffic to your sale items is the stumbling block no matter what.
In my previous websites, it seems like I could direct traffic to them by blogging with people who would be interesting in buying. I sold unique puzzles for a friend a few years ago. With Etsy and Ebay, I have no idea what I can do to direct traffic. I feel helpless. The only things that ebay offers, cost money and there is no guarantee of increased traffic.
Does anyone know what to do to increase interest in your listings on ebay or etsy?

great idea for a thread! thanks mastroadam.
I want to make and sell glass minimalist vases.
I’m just learning ebay by selling household stuff and was thinking of adding these vases to my listings.
I have parts for about 400 vases and was considering ebay, etsy or my own website.
Does anyone with experience want to list the pros and cons of each?
I already have an unlimited hosting account on godaddy and making a wordpress blog isn’t THAT much work. I just wonder which would be most lucrative and what are some marketing tips for each type of store.
