Curious what people are using for their pricing methods. I recently shifted to a more structured pricing plan from the guesses and comp matching that I was using before. I use the Research tool to look up the item. I see the 90 day ASP for the item. I then divide it by .75. This then gives me the approximate listing price. Here is an example. ASP of $19.25 / .75 =$25.67 I would list the item at $26.00 I then run a sale event for the item at 20% off. This makes the actual price $20.80. This leaves a 5% margin left to send a small offer to a liker. How do you calculate your listing price? Is my method too much work? Yes, I have to have the entire store on some sort of sale even all of the time. Is this too much?

I am not sure if this is all the time now or just most of the time, but it use to be when you would price compare solds on an item, if it was sold with a best offer, it would show a strike through the original price. I no longer see that. I actually like the change because it makes it look like the item sold for more than it really did. By the way, does everyone know how to find the actual sell price of and item that has sold? If you go to a recently sold item, and copy its title, then go to the eBay Research tool and paste it in. This will usually get you just the item you are looking for. If it turns up no results, change the search to 7 days, or 30 days, and it will usually come up. This is how I noticed the change in how they show that a offer has been excepted.

How do you handle your listings? Do you list at the same time each day? Do you just work it around your schedule as you find time? I usually list pretty much the same time each day, but I am looking to change things up some. With the shorter daylight hours this time of year, daylight is a premium for me. I have a farm I run in addition to eBay, and the things needing completed on the farm pretty much need to be completed during day light. I have always struggled with listing in the evenings, because I am usually up by 4am getting some of my eBay task completed, and waiting on daylight. I am thinking about trying the separate way of listing that so many others do, and take my photos either in the evening, and complete my listings the next day, or photo in the mornings, and complete listings in the evening. How about yourself? Do you try different ways of list? Different times of listing? Has making changes like this helped you to stay more consistent?

Have you ever noticed the time lag between your phone and Computer in the eBay System? I have seen my phone show a offer come in, and be working in my store on my computer and have it take an hour or more before it shows up on the computer. Even when I am on my computer, I use multiple tabs for my eBay store, and one will show a offer, or sell while the other doesn't update to show it, even after refreshing the screen.

Can Gore-Tex be used in title/description? I thought I heard they were taking listings down for using it. I have a pair of Tourney pants that aren’t selling and I’m wondering if that is why, I don’t have it in the title. Many have sold with it in the title though.
