Ebay sales slow Oct 2016

[things_of_the_past]

Hello, my ebay sales are down, is ebay going to hide sellers who do not offer 30 day returns and 1 day processing during the Holiday Season?  Something is strange as it seems I have been cut off just like that.  If so I wish they would let me know.  I am not a a retail store, I wish there was a site for retail stores only and one for home business. Anyhow anyone notice? Thanks

I am slow too. I had steady sales all day now I am getting very sparatic sales every couple days. I am so confused. It started in late September.

Absolutely NO need for yet another thread on this subject. There already was one, which covered everything from actual reasons, to conspiracy theories in almost 5000 Posts... Read em and weep, but another thread in the Part Time Sellers Group is neither wanted, nor needed. If you can't find something, in the link below to hitch your pony to... you need a new pony.

PS... it's not because of Aliens.

5000 posts? WHY do you think there's so many? It's because something totally abnormal is going on...Sales are slow and sporatic and there has to be a reason...Do you understand how messed up things have to be for experienced sellers to start looking on the net for answers? Anyone who comes here is experiencing something that is way outside the bounds of normalcy...I'm sure it's a combination of things, but it is frustrating and amazing at the same time...People are coming here because they want to know why this is happening, pure and simple...If things were anywhere near normal, NO ONE would be here...

@superdave*  Dave, you are not going to find your answers here.  You would best be served by starting your own group or posting for help on the Selling Board where you will find several threads about the same subject:

1 - As Hidy said, there are no answers beyond the 5000 that were already expressed on the PART-TIME SELLERS Group.

2 - As Hidy said, post the question on the Selling Board, which is dedicated to answering Seller questions, as opposed to

     what is primarily a social Group.

I have read a lot, and my answer seems to be Americans are out of money & the country is in free-fall.  I have done everything for sales short of handing stuff out for free.... There are hardly any people buying anymore on Ebay, and if they are it's low end deals, and stuff from China.... or the last of the wealthy (still employed) buyers... I'm sorry to say this, and I wish I was wrong..... Sales on Ebay absolutly SU*K , only Ebay is still making money untill a lot of us leave for good.... God Bless   S

If you have time to whine, you have time to put effort into listings. Up. Down. In between.

Always.

No earth shattering blame it on whatever or whoever reasons. It is what it is.

eBay This is now December 2016 what happen?? Sales are Bad my

worst year ever. But Although Ebay had more sale than Marcari they were even worse. Posh is doing pretty good but commission to high at 20% taking a lot of

my profit. Anyone else experiencing this also.

[theresa6294]

My sales are down $8,000 this year from last year.  On top of their 20% ebay

commission, I am really hurting.!

EBay's fees are 10 percent, cheaper if you have a store.
