Tips:-Seasonal Variations In Prices
When you're planning your listing sales, you need to take into effect the fact that sales rates vary throughout the year. It's no surprise that sales go up in November and December,due to the Christmas buying season. But did you know that sales go down--way down--in the summer time ? That's right, eBay traffic in general drops significantly during June, July and August; lots of potential buyers are on vacation, and even more are outside enjoying the sunshine.
Keep these seasonal trends in mind when plannning your business. That might mean putting fewer items up for auction during the summer months, or holding your highest-potential items for the Fall or Winter.
Just don't assume you'll keep a steady sales rate throughout all 12 months of the year--because you won't !
