Ebay tricks: polybags

If you missed it in another thread, here is my war story knowledge I learned flipping polybags (the other seller is the master and I'm the padawan, but I am learning)

If you are selling multiples of the same item (RR poly) you can do the following:

Set your preferences so that you can quantity remain at zero (with selling set price using good till cancelled option). You can then sell at a lower than you want price 2 or 3 sales, this will get you on the radar and get people following your auction. You then can raise your price to where you want it to be and it will still show that you have sold 2 or 3 (but doesn't show lower price). You are now down showing "last one" because you only listed a handful. People use their panic and buy your last one at that price. Once it sells, just revise auction to quantity of 1 and you are once gain selling your "last one"

This only works on good till cancelled auctions and only if you change your setting to allow it

Hope that helps someone here

So let's say (for example) I get 8 of a polybag at about $4. Is it worth it to try and sell them off this way? Or is this more the "I have 35 of this and want to move it." ?

Thanks all

That is something you have to figure out. Entire point was: I am/was new at selling and didn't know how to use all of the features available on ebay, and I didn't understand what the "competition" was doing.

Hopefully you understand better now and can use some of these tools if you want to, or choose not to. Either way you learned something and can decide for yourself

Yeah, I hear ya, I feel like I keep making bad decisions about how much to sell things for and what I can really net after ebay and PayPal take their cut. I do appreciate this information though and it's very helpful. So thank you for providing it!
