<p>[QUOTE=&quot;frech001, post: 2445079, member: 20616&quot;]To answer some of the good questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I write the eBay item number on each coin flip in pencil and I erase and write the new one each time I relist it. I also need to change my spread sheet record. This takes a lot of time. Ebay recently added an option to use a custom listing number but it isn&#039;t available in their basic listing fields which I prefer. I often list several of the same coin at the same time so I need to be able to distinguish them. When I list six coins as a group (because eBay limits free pictures to 12), I must erase and write the new listing number six times for that listing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did suggest “Alternatively the last number in the item number string could be a counting number that would change with each relisting while the core number remained the same” but I like the suggestion of a -001 format as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sellers who don&#039;t want to reveal how many times they have relisted an item could select “sell similar” rather than “relist” and they will get a new listing number.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay will benefit by streamlining the relisting process because that means more listings per month. I&#039;m in the process of selling a 6,000 world coin collection and I realize collectors prefer to buy just the coin they need and not a group of coins with the one they are looking for. So that means a lot of 99¢ listings and a lot of time. After a couple of times listing a coin I&#039;ve started to group them to save time. However, I&#039;ve found that groups of coins don&#039;t sell as well as individual ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tried just adding a new eBay item number into my spread sheet with the previous numbers remaining in the previous column, but that got very messy looking, and if I mess up my spreadsheet I&#039;m lost. I&#039;d be interested in any other suggestions from sellers[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
