You’re anonymous on eBay anyways so if your stuff doesn’t sell no one will know. It’s not a reflection on you necessarily anyways. Plenty of good stuff doesn’t sell for a myriad of reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>My problem is an inability to focus and list quickly. I’m motivated to list. I sit down and get shockingly little listed on a regular basis though. I should start selling widgets. I get so lost in the weeds of research and learning about antiques I barely get them listed before I buy twenty more things. If I just sold straight forward things that required no research I’d get a lot more done probably. Then again the margins are small and the work is boring on those things.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit: I have such a INABILITY to focus that I wrote “ability”.
