    Description: In this episode, Mike and Jen dive into the world of eBay selling, specifically tackling the hot-button topic of best offers. They'll explore the pros and cons of allowing offers on your listings, drawing on insights from experienced sellers within a Facebook group. Is it always bad advice to accept lowball offers? Can you use offers to your advantage? We'll separate myth from fact and help you develop a winning strategy for maximizing your profits on eBay.

    Introduction Welcome back to the Pickers Podcast! Your hosts, Mike and Jen, discuss the recent changes to eBay's listing policy and how it impacts resellers. A shoutout to new subscribers on Youtube! eBay's No Limit Listing Policy: A Double-Edged Sword eBay's removal of listing limits offers exciting opportunities for sellers to expand their business.

Sellers need a strategic approach to leverage the benefits while mitigating challenges. Key Takeaways: Pros: Increased inventory, potential for higher sales volume. Cons: More competition, potential for lower selling prices due to saturation, stricter seller performance standards. Tips: Focus on quality control, effective inventory management, and exceptional customer service.
