Not knowing your market for your vehicle it appears you are off to a good start. Lots of miles. Just be highly attentive to your listing and all the questions they ask, whether they are tire kickers or real bidders. Attention and answering is key.

Thanks
That's what Ive been trying to do, but not many questions so far.
I'm hoping it's due to all the videos
traffic seems to be on par when compared to other similar listings, just not much engagement.
hopefully things will pick up for the weekend as I drop a few more videos.

Do they tell you to drop vids just to keep interest alive?

When a photo or video is uploaded, the system sends out a notification to those who are watching.

Each day, the listing gains more watchers, so I've been strategically dropping videos on a daily basis to help keep it alive.

Yes, this method was suggested by the BAT team

Whether or not it's working, I'm not sure as there just hasn't been much in terms of questions, but then again, the videos are all pretty much self explainatory.

Back when I made my first car sales video almost 2 decades ago, I wanted to show everything functioning as they should so it wouldn't give anyone a reason to question whether this works or that works.

The problem is that it was just too long (10 minutes is an eternity for a YouTube video)




What I learned from the analytics is that nobody wants to sit and watch a long drawn out video, so for this listing, I made a bunch of smaller videos dedicated to each function (one for seats, one for sunroof, one for windows, one for Locking Differentials, etc.,etc.) so they can pick and choose which ones to watch.

I'm on BaT often and get those notifications. I figured they prompted you to drop new material often to "get the clicks, baby!"
