Do you double list on ebay and etsy?

[Deleted]

Is it too risky to list on both at once? I did try double listing on tradesy but there you have to confirm the sale. Don't think you do on Etsy. So what do you do on that off chance you sell on both sites overnight or something?

Don't really have enough etsy'able inventory to do exclusively there I don't think. I'm sure it's like ebay the more you have listed the better exposure so a few items probably wouldn't go far. But it seems like a big risk to list both places. Should I wait until I get just etsy inventory built up?

Oh also do you keep your pricing the same or do you price higher/lower on Etsy than you do on Ebay. not sure on their fee structure. Getting ready to look into it now.

I double list on Etsy & Ebay. Sales on Etsy are pretty slow - so far no double sales. When I sell an item on Ebay, I take the Etsy listing and re-purpose it into a new item - that way I get my money's worth.

I price higher on Etsy than Ebay.

That's what I was thinking, Etsy I'm sure is going to be super slow especially since I'll be new. I'll go ahead and list the ones I have over there too and hope for the best. I wasn't sure if I should price higher there or not. Are fees about the same? I didn't see a link to fees this morning when I was looking but didn't have time to look around much before I left.

I don't list on Etsy, but I would double list, I wouldn't give it a second thought. The odds are so miniscule & even if it does happen, you can cancel the Etsy sale with no 'defect'.

I don't double list. Right now I'm only listing postcards on Etsy and my listing routine is:

List 50 at auction on eBay per week.
List any that don't sell of that 50 on Etsy.

However, I opened a second shop and will probably be double-listing stuff then.
