Hello
About a month ago I placed a thread here about how I use feedback to create sales. The gist of it was that I post older mass feedback the day before my lots close (usually on Sunday) I am still using this idea and it still works for me. Some of you liked the idea and some found fault, which is OK with me. My latest attempt to increase sales is as of yet unproven but if it generates one sale it is worth it (to me). First I sat up an AW Gallery, which will show all I have on ebay (current only). Second I set up a link to all my sales e-mails. It works like this. Lots close Sunday. Prior loaded new lots go to ebay from AW also late Sunday. On Monday I email all Sunday winners with shipping details, costs etc. The e-mail has a link which if used will send proven buyer of mine to my new listings. I have no data on success or failure yet however as a seller I am either getting better or worse and I think this is an improvement. Ever hear of this before? Any constructive comments? … Dave

The only thing I can say is I also use a clickable link in every email I send out that anyone..... buyer or not can click on my link and see my latest auctions....I just always felt like this was great advertising made simple for whoever received it. I always make sure that my feedback comments that I post, contain my auction Id name as well so anyone reading my comments can look my sales up also. I also have ebay business cards with my seller id on that I occasionally will pass out to generate sales.......made these up on a site that had an offer for free business cards you could design yourself just for the price of shipping so I took advantage of that as well. Also have a separate "Buying Antiques & Collectables" business card that I have handy to hand out at any sales I might happen along at......Every little bit has to help......sure can't hurt! ~smile~

Hello
Like those ideas...Some sellers think that telling there “gem of the day” is helping the completion. I have NO completion. To have completion one must have the exact same thing in the exact same condition, selling at the same time. I don’t sell that kind of stuff and would get out of it if I were.
thanks
Dave
