Volume ebay store sellers poll - How high above target price do you set the bin?

Curious what other people have the most success with. I've normally been aiming for roughly 20-25%, but know there's some sellers that go much lower and some much higher

I don't get best offers unless it's a truly rare one of a kind card.. just put something up for what you want to get

I don't do many best offers but I run a lot of sales at 10-20% off. Sometimes higher. If possible I try to add 20% to what I want. It's amazing how much better stuff sells when it's "on sale".
I mostly only use best offer if it's something I've had for awhile or I'm not sure about the value.

Depends on the item and how fast I want to move and how much I have in it. Sometimes I put items under comps just to try to sell it faster especially if I have very little in it. If its an item I think the comps are low on I will go as high as double the comps and have sold them at that price within minutes. In the end set YOUR price don't worry so much about comps on every little thing.

Talking Ebay:

BIN - No offer - is what I prefer. No games, just buy it or don't and no one wastes any time with pointless messages. I'll never accept on offer on a BIN only item.

However, pricing 20-25% over and then putting it "on sale" tends to bring in more buyers even though the "sale" price is the same price as what you'd put on a BIN with no offer. But you'll also get a lot more messages with offers under your price since it appears you're willing to negotiate some. Also means more time wasted. Not worth the trade in my opinion.

BIN/BO - usually I mark it up 20-25% with an auto decline put in at around 80% of the price.
