Hello my eBay Friends!
January is my biggest selling month of the year! I know everyone has different “best” selling months each year, but from my personal experience, the trend has been January in all of my 10 years of selling on eBay.
My theory/ Reason for my high sales in January:
- Christmas Bonus Money to spend.
- New computers for Christmas.
- Bad weather, shoppers snowed in.
- Extra Money from store returns.
And this year should be even more profitable as eBay released Gift cards throughout the country. Which means many people will have been given eBay gift cards for Christmas. Those holders of the eBay Gift Cards will be browsing the eBay searches for special items.
When things slow down, in-between your Holiday celebrating, you may want to list items to start in January. Have your store “Tidy” and ready for the shoppers.
This is also a good time to take advantage of eBay’s “Markdown manager.”
Markdown Manager is a handy tool provided for free to eBay store owners.
