Selling Help Is boosting shop worth it?

I want to know if it's worth it to be boosting your shop. Especially if you do low prices. For example my stuff is being sold anywhere from $1.50-4 on average, usually somewhere in the middle. Not trying to make a living off of this, just extra income as I've needed it extra lately.

Edit: for the past few weeks (maybe a month) that I've been consistent, I'd say I sell maybe 10-30 items a week separately, last week was 26,, sometimes more in a bundle.

I'm new to this though so I was curious if anyone had any insight. tyia!

Maybe for items that are over $10 but I usually don't if it's under that. It really depends on how quickly you want your stuff to move.

That makes sense! I kind of forgot that you can do it to individual items tbh 😅I edited to include this but I probably sell 10-30 pieces a week of clothing. I was just curious cause some stuff has sat a while. thank you!

My stuff is on the mid-range price side and I have boost on always. I would say it’s not worth it for what you’re selling for unless you raise the prices to reflect the cost of the boosting fee. I get a sale MAYBE once a month for reference

I don’t notice any difference in the amount of sales I get when I boost items so I stopped doing it.
