What would you as an ebay seller do?
Posted By: Bob
I put some cards on ebay early this morning including some nice D311s and other PCL cards before I discovered today is another dump day (20 cent listing on fixed price listings). My cards are now buried in the listings and I worry that hardly anyone will find them Would you as a seller go ahead and cancel the listings, cancel the bids and relist them on Sunday or just ride them out hoping prospective buyers will stumble across them? |

I would take them down. After my win on Mastro last night I won't be an aggressive bidder until after the holidays. |

I guess I am out numbered.... You might consider taking them down and throwing them up on the BST....It's free and you can get what you want or not sell.....(obviously).....regards |

As someone who has a bid on one of those cards, I wouldn't take them down |

Especially with the advertising from this thread, I think your cards will do fine. |

You have eight usual suspects bidding on the cards. I think you'll get some good action. I though will lay in the weeds and watch. |

Usually if I accidentally list right before a dump day, I take auctions down immediately if they have no bidders. If there is a bidder - even for a dollar - I haven't taken them down in the past. But I've thought about it. |

Think you'll be fine to ride them out. And don't worry about a lack of bidders this early, most of the bidding won't kick in till last few hours anyway. Watch your number of "watchers" more than the actual bidders this early into the listing... |

Thanks everybody. I'll leave them up and hopefully not take my lumps. I am glad I only put a small number on to see how they would do and din't put on all my graded Zeenuts and D311s. |

I was going to list some stuff, but when I saw it was a "dump day" I figured I'd hold off. I don't have much luck selling this time of year anyway, but again that's just me. |

What difference does an ebay "dump day" matter to somebody listing D311 cards? Did everybody dump their D311 stock on so your D311 auctions are lost in a sea of D311 listings. Very few people look at every ebay listing in a category hoping to find a D311. They use the search feature if that's what they're looking for. So whether there's 100 or 100,000 items in a category it makes no difference. A search for D311 cards will show them D311. |

Red- I partially agree with you, but I know oftentimes I will skim the listings to see what is listed and something unique or scarce catches my eye. I don't use searches in the pre-1930's section except on e94s so the ability to have things pop up during a scroll is important to me. |

Yikes! I got shellacked. I will never list another card on dump day on ebay ever again. Cards sold for half to one-third what they usually go for. I know maybe the holiday season or a soft (sorry W) economy played a part but the cards I sold which went off a couple of days before the dump day fiasco did pretty well, so I figure it was the dump day disaster that did it. |

I think it's just a bad time of year (in addition to the "dump day") I have eleven things going on Ebay right now that are usually pretty popular items. But the number of bids and number of watchers is pathetic to date (as compared to past auctions). It's an Ebay "buyers market" right now, to be sure... |
