@Ewan Macdonald Champion itself, no. I think it has to be specific stuff like vintage or Y2K, or the reverse weave stuff. The only Champion i've sold is a Supreme x Champion collab reverse weave hoodie, those are generally higher quality, but i think any of the collab stuff is worth looking into.

I've promoted a couple of times recently just to at least get some insights on traffic and engagement and see if it offered any valuable insights on my store, items i sell etc. I think i have had a couple more sales, esp on older inventory that had dropped off the feed, i can only assume the promo helped push some of my listings onto peoples searches. Going to try again this weekend. 🙂

I recently got a refurbished HP X360 Touchscreen from Amazon for about £350. Really good condition, only a few scratches on the bottom. There are better and newer models if you want to spend more, but this came with 32gb Ram, doubles as a tablet as well.

Hi all — I joined because I’m trying to understand how much of my current slowdown is caused by wider market conditions and how much is coming from my own stock, pricing or business decisions. I completed an eBay coaching cohort in January and learned more about listings, pricing, promotion and managing the store. Sales initially improved and I began getting a reasonably steady flow. I then built my inventory around products I could source consistently from Vinted: trainers, BAPE, Off-White, Evisu, Maharishi, Maison Mihara Yasuhiro, Alpha Industries, Japanese streetwear and bulky outerwear. I researched sold prices and sell-through before buying, but many items have still moved much more slowly than expected. Since around April, my eBay sales have dropped sharply. I wasn’t listing much new stock for a period while trying to organise the business, but I continued reviewing prices, ending and selling similar, improving titles and relisting older items. The sales never properly recovered. I’ve since seen a lot of other established sellers reporting a similar slowdown, so I’m struggling to separate: - a wider eBay or seasonal slowdown; - my relatively small store size; - higher prices and COGS; - slower, more specialist inventory; - inconsistent listing activity; - or something else in my execution. - Vinted has also restricted or banned me several times over legitimate items being flagged as counterfeit. That leaves me worried about relying on it for either sourcing or sales while eBay is performing so poorly. I’m now considering several directions: changing my sourcing mix using Jamie’s brand and model-level approach, looking at lower-COGS sourcing such as wholesale or physical sourcing, testing faster-moving categories such as electronics, or temporarily focusing on clearing and reorganising my existing stock. Given this position, what would you examine first to identify the real bottleneck? Would you recommend that I: 1. keep pushing eBay and rebuild consistent listing activity; 2. change the categories and stock I source; 3. reduce prices and liquidate slower inventory; 4. explore Vinted Pro or other platforms; 5. pause sourcing while I audit the store properly?
