May Sales Update

Hey everyone! I know my updates are becoming scarce, but I thought I would pop in to let you know how horrible my sales are this month and the reason why! 

So things around here have been pretty chaotic with graduation coming up in a week and cleaning and preparing for my big move this fall, so I've not really had the chance to list or source like I want to. I might have 20 items that need to be worked up and listed, but that's just not enough to motivate me. I usually need a good Goodwill Outlet trip to get me back in the 20 listings a day mood! 

Other things have been keeping me busy too, such as my interview with The Scavenger Life! So stay tuned for that! It's not posted yet, but it should be shortly! 

Also, on some other news, just a few days ago I was contacted by a lady from eBay and they have asked to do a story on me on their blog! Woohoo! So she called me Thursday and we got the initial interview out of the way and now they're just waiting on some pics of me and my eBay business. The blog should be posted sometime around the last week of May, so be watching for that to be posted HERE! 

But anyways! Back to the numbers and reason why they're non-existent.. 
So I've dropped down to about 200 items in my store. I had been holding off for a promotion but I haven't gotten one in two months. I've not listed anything new except for maybe 5 things (all auctions). This is why I've only had 12 sales this month totaling a little over $300. I decided that with college going on and the low numbers, that I would transfer some listings to auction and try and clean out. So 111 old listings went to $7.95 +$5 shipping auctions. So far only 7 items have bids totaling a whopping $75. They end some time tonight, but as of now, I still hate auctions.. I decided that since I haven't been listing anything new this month and a promo doesn't seem very likely, I would relist 200 old items to get my numbers back up and hopefully get some sales. I currently have over 400 active (111 end tonight) and I still have 49 of my free monthly listings to use. I'm still hoping for a promo (maybe someone will take me to the outlet when I get one ;) ) so that I can get back into my listing groove. 

I've also been testing out a new to me platform called Mercari. It seems like a mix of eBay and Poshmark and right now I'm LOVING it! No listing fees, no sale fees, no shipping fees, no listings to relist every month... It is pretty great! I've already had one sale, so after I see that all of that goes well, I'll have to do a post and let you all join with me on this awesome new app! 

But anyways! I hope y'all are having better sales than I am and have a lot more motivation to get things done! 
Thanks for reading!!
Talk soon!
