I was thinking: "Yes! People are finally buying again, or got their tax returns!" Then...hardly anything! And this weekend, it's just been DEAD. This whole month has been slow! I don't know my exact views, but I've been doing the 1-day handling and FS for ages...I haven't seen much difference lately! I am thinking of charging shipping for heavy or large items like Danskos or Doc Martens possibly. I try to run a sale around paydays--around the 15th, and then around the end of the month, as I want sales, but I don't want to cut into my potential profits, either! It's worked out pretty well for me...DeedaInSeattlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887915547089967980.post-59665486025402669902012-03-23T15:35:17.458-07:002012-03-23T15:35:17.458-07:00I offer 1 day handling, and it's not that big ...I offer 1 day handling, and it's not that big of a deal really. People just want to know they are getting their items FAST! I needed some extra cash this week so I ran a 2 day sale in my store, everything 15% off. Things just FLEW off the shelves and I still made a great profit! Maybe trying a sale like that would help! I figure it's better making some money is better than having bins full of inventory, right?Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372988727575644425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887915547089967980.post-25581097728703487642012-03-23T13:48:10.664-07:002012-03-23T13:48:10.664-07:00I just stumbled upon your blog, maybe I came via C...I just stumbled upon your blog, maybe I came via Clamco. But we follow many of the same blogs. I just wanted to comment on your post. I did receive messages from ebay re: the 1-day handling/14-day return. They did already put it into effect on a limited basis, to those of us who do it before 6/1. So I revised ALL my listings and have noticed a jump in sales. Not really big because March has been a slow month, but I also offer free shipping (not really, but shipping is included) on many of my listings. I must say it is sometimes stressful to keep up with the 1-day handling, although you just need to provide this service on 90% of you sales to reap the benefit. Anyway, count me in as a new follower ... and your little baby is so CUTE!!Quiltpiecerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348556352125359529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1887915547089967980.post-10272477652427318192012-03-23T11:37:29.124-07:002012-03-23T11:37:29.124-07:00If you don't offer it already, having free shi...If you don't offer it already, having free shipping may also give you a boost in search. I know that's not for everyone, but I did that for a while just to get my star ratings up. After I got them up, I started charging for shipping again and I do notice less traffic. Coincidence? Or something more? (raises one eyebrow)Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.com
