Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Trying to scale too fast
Don't jump from 10 to 100 cards overnight. Master each level before scaling up.
❌ Skipping quality control
Automation doesn't mean "set and forget." Always review before uploading.
❌ Ignoring eBay limits
New sellers have listing limits. Plan your automation around eBay's restrictions.
❌ Not tracking metrics
Monitor sell-through rates, average sale prices, and time to sale for continuous improvement.
