i'm SURE this has been discussed before, but it's time for me to ask about it again. i don't sell a ton of items on ebay, but the past few months i've listed a couple dozen items each month, most of them near identical 'items', via 'sell similar' or 'relist'.... on my 'ended' sold items, i notice that almost all of them were purchased, with buy-it-now, during the first 2 weeks of the month, then hardly anything sold during last 2 weeks of the month.

my sale offerings are only such a small sampling of ebay 'items' .... do some of you who sell mostly the same kind of items have the same experience as me on this?

TIA,
marcia/ohio

I was convinced that the first two weeks of the month, my listings and I were invisible. The last week of the month was always my best one (usually the same genre but all unique items -- collectibles, lighting, antiques).

Always wondered if it was the server I was on. 19 in this case. One of my friends is also on 19, and says the same thing! I don't do BINs so perhaps this is not a valid comparison.

I have a stupid question. How can you tell which server you are on?

Two first digits of your item numbers.

Thanks! I knew it was something obvious like that.

I'm a 32. Same size as my bust in high school.

I have 26 and 32. But what could it mean, really?

I find that mine sell best every other blue moon.

I always felt I did better at the end of the month but that could be because that's when I list my best items??
