For the first time in many months, I am selling only 38 items for the month of Jan. Jan. sales have been down 50% from every month last year. So I need to consider that my stock might be in decline so far as most in demand items. I still have 800 items up in all price ranges, but I have sold off a ton. It is time to mark some items down by a buck or two.
I am also considering stopping the $39.99 a month fee, as I would not be saving anything by paying that.
My question is, when your items become delisted after 6 months, do they stay in your closed inventory list, and are they easy to relist? Condition and all comments remain attached to the items?
I plan on not listing many new items there at Amazon for the next 3 months, while I work other venues during the so-called best season, Feb. through May. |

| yep i think the 39 dollar fee may not work good with too low of inventory. But i think doing this at first is needed in order to get ones inventory up in their catelogue and then after its up switch off this monthly fee and just pay the dollar fee extra when an item sells. |

No, there are no listing fee at Amazon. Only final fees when items are sold. |

| without the $39.95 fee you get charged at least .99 per listing, and that might be every 30 days. do the math. |

No, not per listing, per sale. Big difference. |
