Nov 2021

Sell-through rate is about 2.9% Only new items get noticed. I switched one item from one ID to another and it sold second time listed. Also I wonder what's going on: had an item listed for $10, with a best offer. It has 24 hours to go. Guy offers me $60. I accept. The deal went through, no complaints yet, but don't call me not worried. Why would anyone offer 6 times what an item will close for in 24 hours? Did eBay show him a $85 price so he submitted a best offer? I have no idea. It all makes no sense.
