Percentages of items that sell via Ebay?

**Overall Quality** · 24-09-2009, 11:37 AM

Hi guys,

Just a quick question. If you put up say 10 items on Ebay at prices which are more than most cheaper than some as they are priced like designer clothing should be, how many of them do you sell on average?

For example: Out of every 10 items you post up, you sell 2 or 3... etc.

I sell designer clothing and have roughly 10 items up for auction and BUY IT NOW and have lost the first auction with no bidders and only one person watching it. It only had around 19 people visit the page as well.

Does not look promising for the rest of the items.

Many thanks.

It's different for every item. Also how long it's been out. How many others there are being sold on ebay. There are many factors that will affect the percentage you will sell.

Could it be your not getting seen? 19 Views is very low.

We Work on about 15-18% sell success from what we list, I am sure some catagories are lower and some higher, only way to determine is to monitor over a period of time.

tbh the clothing sales for me are slow at the moment, try putting them on buy it now, views are irrelevant as i can have 6 views and 4 items bought.

This is typicall eBay auction for me. Can anyone in the know point me in the right direction or offer any advice on how to increase the amount of people to the auction?

Am I making any stupid mistakes?

Many thanks,

The only way you can be sure that your item is 100% Authentic is by approaching Lacoste directly in their store in London. If you have any doubts that this item is not genuine, I would go to a Lacoste store or even a retailer who will confirm the 100% Authenticity of this item. A full refund will be given otherwise.

Doesn't fill me with confidence either they are real or not!

you have no feedback and are selling some of the most common faked items

Totally agree with Hardy. Makes me think hmmm well is it real or not then?
