1. Are you selling only those 6, or are those just a representative sample? I have on the order of 10s of thousands listed and only sell hundreds a day. You can have much better numbers with effort, certainly, but listing more things will get you more sales. You also might be pricing them too...

A while ago, while investigating how to avoid copyright violations, I noticed that a popular dropshipper's products weren't showing up on google. I looked at the source code for their description, but they didn't have any meta tags or the like telling the page not to be indexed, so I didn't...

You can ask for a selling limit increase every 30 days. If you've never asked for a limit increase before, then you can call in right away, though I would wait until you are closer towards reaching the limit than not. They have guidelines to only increase your item and cash limits by up to 100%...

I do, with a group of other people. They do like seeing a higher balance which can be difficult to do if you're using that money as your sole income. If you repeatedly take all (or most) of the money out of your paypal, then they may put a rolling restriction on your account, where they take a...

What I do is periodically move money from paypal into a bank account, make purchases with credit cards, then pay off the credit cards with money from the bank account. The upside of doing this is that when paypal freezes my account temporarily (which happens every few months it seems) its easy...

Is it allowed to take a listing that you planned on taking down (due to the product being no longer available or whatever) and replace every aspect of it with a new item? If not allowed, is it still worthwhile to pursue with taking precautions?

I'm not so sure Priceyak scales well. Had troubles buying giftcards several days in a row. Other than that, they have a whole bunch of resources like products to avoid for VERO and the like. They are nice to use for a little bit, but their repricing and purchasing will cut your margins, so if...

What items you are selling and what state you are shipping the item to can affect what shipping method is used. You can tailor your items to reduce unwanted couriers.

If you believe that there is predictability in the coin market, then you could try recording the prices of competitors over time and using Random Forests to predict whether the price will go up or down. Try googling "buffalox8 stock prediction github" for a repo where this technique was used to...

Any tips on obtaining it, then? Roughly 60% of my transactions have their tracking in by the one day handling time limit. What should I do about the remaining items?

Have you ever gotten Top Rated Seller on any of your accounts? I'd like to get it, but enough of the tracking numbers don't come in quick enough for me to get it.

How do you deal with copyright notices? At the moment, as soon as I get them, I call into Vero and get them removed, but it's slow for me to do this, and it's not scalable.

I'm not sure how to remove the item from eBay search results, but you can make the listing blank after the sale. If you have a good till cancelled listing, then it will remain editable even after the quantity reaches 0. Then you can change the title, category, and description. To deal with the...

It depends on the category. Sometime in February they'll be enforcing product identifiers more tightly, so I've been including it just in case. Also, having the UPC (or really, at least keeping track of it on my end) lets me use findItemsByProduct to find competition more easily than doing...

I had this very same issue! I ended up getting around it by using the following three columns: Product:UPC, C:Brand, C:MPN The C means you are just uploading them as item specifics, rather than trying to use them as product identifiers.
