Sales?

Is anyone having issues with sales recently?

I've only recently gone back to eBay trading. It's WAY different to how it used to be 15 years ago. Not so easy now. But I guess I'm doing OK.

I've phoned them a couple of times, because it's gone dead. The first time, I'd had no sales for 3 days. Within a couple of hours of my phone call, I'd had 3 sales. Weird.

I read so much online about this 'throttling' thing. Is it true?

I did see this after searching "throttling",
