Here’s one of my clients interviewed on the local news after finding $6,000 in an Ovaltine can at an Estate Sale.
Unbelievable story!

“How To Game eBay’s New System
After watching his listings disappear from eBay’s search results because he didn’t have perfect ratings, our seller discovered something. If he created a new user ID, his listings would appear at the top of the search results. So now he creates new seller IDs until each gets a less-than-perfect seller rating, at which point he retires them.
How much of a difference does this make? The seller says the products with new (perfectly-rated) IDs sell at a $10-$50 profit. The products sold with his own feedback rating, meanwhile, lost $10-$20 per sale.”
while we’re all still adjusting to the ebay changes, keep an eye on your selling manager dashboard, what your search standing reads. Lower, higher, or standard. And then do some tests on your items in search to see if other seller’s items are coming up higher than yours in search, even though their auction ends after yours.
The auto-setting when a buyer searches is now set on ‘best-match’ which takes into account seller ratings. A buyer can adjust the search terms to ending soonest for example, but I don’t believe that many casual buyers know the difference, care to do so, or know that anything even changed at all.
