Listing Expire Suggestions

My first 4 months selling on Etsy is coming up soon. Many of my listings are about to expire. Does anyone have suggestions... do you usually put the items on sale before they expire? or any other ways to try to sell them?

You can RELIST them before they expire. Just go to Account, then check the listings and click RENEW and it will add 4 months on to it, but it charges you $0.20 again.

Re: Listing Expire Suggestions

I've had a few items I let expire that I just wasn't feeling and a few I've re-listed right before they were set to expire. If an item hasn't gotten a lot of love I consider lowering the price when I re-list it. But crazy as it sounds, a few items I have raised the price before re-listing and they sold at the higher price.

I've heard a few other sales share the same weird result. Raise Price, Get Sale. Go figure. :)

Re: Listing Expire Suggestions

I relist every couple of days, it helps to be seen when people are searching in the categories and a bit with regular search. It bumps the items to the first pages in your category. I find it does help me get more views.

I raised my prices after some good feedback and market research and ended up with 3 sales in one day. It's perceived value, it's more expensive so people feel they are buying a good quality, handmade item. I personally am totally swayed by the more expensive items, I may not always be able to buy them right away but would rather buy something that seems to be made well and worth the price than to risk buying low and getting perhaps an item that's not as well made. I like my handmade items that I buy to last quite awhile. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that in there.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

I was thinking I can put them on sale before the listing expires, so I can get rid of old inventory and get new ones that would sell better.

Re: Listing Expire Suggestions

It might be too tight of a time frame to sell "on sale", but you can try I guess?

I just list them and alter the price or not. Four months goes but pretty fast. Maybe re-title, re-tag and change the focus of the items about to fall off.

I had a nightmare day things kept expiring lol but I got a ton of shop views from re-listing :)

Fix your titles and tags before you relist them. . .
