People wonder how a bookseller's channel is blowing up so hard. I think I have an idea - Mel's channel is not a bookseller's channel, it's a vlog about her life that heavily features her work life specifically. But she let's you see her from every angle. I know the time around when she was sharing about her separation and divorce is when I locked in as a sub; I came in for the book thing but stuck around coz Mel has a beautiful heart.

@backfromburnout 27 дней назад

Yes agree. And also promote some of the smaller niches instead of the same big ones over and over. Media never gets talked about with eBay because its smaller then other niches like clothing or home and garden.

@biffboffo 24 дня назад

Sellers have reached their tolerance with extra eBay fees. The quarterly reports (US) show that “advertising” has plateaued, and as sellers continue to leave, which is also well-documented, the advertising revenue will inevitably decline. eBay needs to focus on customer acquisition, which is what they should’ve been doing all along. I’m afraid only a new regime will see the light. This current group is all about advertising, and they will push this cause until they earn their golden parachutes.

@backfromburnout 24 дня назад

Yes. I agree more focus on bringing new buyers to the platform is needed.

@desertpinevintage 27 дней назад

I saw that eBay promotion. Thought I’d humor myself and click on it to see what it was all about. Quickly clicked right off and said Nope. I’m done playing their game. My fees are already high enough. I promote every item already.

promoted listings arent worth it. I find none of the promoted methods that eBay and Amazon are trying to sell you aren't worth it. It's just a way to get more revenue from the sellers instead of buyers. You're better served doing your own marketing.

Love that you're speaking out about this and sharing your thoughts, even as one of the top category sellers who gets invited to events etc 🫶 In the UK they've allowed private sellers 0 fees on pre-loved clothing whilst sellers still pay - so sellers are just moving to private - AND, then they get invited to change to a seller and have a free storefront until the end of the year as reward 🤯

@backfromburnout 14 дней назад

I’ve seen in UK facebook groups people are very unhappy about the amount of business sellers who now have opened or switched to private stores to avoid the fees. I suspect that’s going to cause eBay grief as now they’ll have to spend hours and money on additional staff who need to spend time trying to monitor that problem.

Those stickers are great, but there will be a problem when you finish the first roll, because the second roll have the same numbers.

Unfortunately Mel, it doesn't stop anytime soon as this is eBay's strategy. They've said it loud and clear in the earnings calls.

@mediapicker2205 27 дней назад

Of course it's a cash grab! For us media sellers, these promotions generally are pointless. I believe these are more useful for items in demand such as collectibles, etc. It would push the listing up a little though, but for the hard to find CDs that I sell, if a person wants it, they'll find it. My listing is priced in the lower third of the market based on condition and I run sales constantly. Will they pick mine? Maybe, maybe not! The CDs I have listed will eventually sell. I know my items, generally speaking are long term and I'm fine with that and keeping a little more money.

@backfromburnout 27 дней назад

Media can have a longer sell thru rate and we often require higher volume stores. We do have a lot of competition on saturated items and compete on price a lot and generally need higher volume stores which can then require larger storage spaces. I do find without promoted listings my store sales suffer and it is because a lot of the items are saturated mass market books and we need to have our listings shown as close to the top as possible.

@mediapicker2205 27 дней назад

@@backfromburnout Yeah, I do the regular promoted on all my listings to give them at least some exposure and am always running some sort of sale. The common stuff is pretty saturated and usually aren't worth much individually to list, so I group them in lots by artist or genre. With me wanting to eventually do this full time, I know I need a lot of listings. I'm shooting for about 7000 to start and will increase from there.

Yes. Best match rather than highest promoted rate.

Hi Mel - I can’t believe people offer such low prices in their offers. I feel like you have a price for a reason and that’s the price. That would drive me nuts to have to counter offer all the time. To me, the price is the price! I really need to get started with selling my lifetime hoard of books (to save my poor kids and grandkids doing it when I’m gone - a bit like the Swedish Death Cleanse!!) but I have just had another foot op which has set me back to just watching You Tube videos, which I love, but seeing all the offers come in and then watching you have to respond turns me off reselling!! A bit like having to deal with annoying parents as a teacher!! There’s always bad bits of any job I guess and that would be mine!! [What’s your bad bit of reselling?] Thanks again for showing us the real side of reselling; it’s great to see you back Mel and see the books go out - from Jen the Bibliophile xx 🌷🙌🏾🌻📚📖
