It depends on how much you promote on social media and the demand of the products you sell.

There is no way to know when an item will sell…
For new sellers there is no way to know when that first sale is going to happen…a $64,000 question with no answer…
for some sellers it could be days, others weeks or it could take months…
Promoting and advertising on social media are never guarantees of a sale either although that is always the canned response to sellers who may ask about their 0 or low sales…
Some will tell you need 200 or 500 or 1000 or more items in your booth.
It isn’t about quantity, it’s about quality, supply and demand, target market, uniqueness and/or desirability of a product, price point,etc,etc.

Agree with u. It’s not all about quantity, been there and done that and will not do it again

I am sure you are bound to get a sale. How soon, no one can tell. You’ve got some really interesting items up for sale and I think reasonable prices for sure.

I looked in Google shopping and only about half of your listings are showing up in there. So more than likely you will need to work on your attributes.

I’d start a new thread to ask about how to best work your listings for Google shopping. I cannot stress enough how important Google shopping is and how a seller needs to understand how Google shopping works. Following the Google shopping requirements will normally get you a sale on there first rather than here on Bonanza.

Mrs Dutch gave you some very good information/tips.

I sold an item on the day when I registered so I think that you can get a sale anytime
