I would expect a slow down on non essential stuff right now as people are nervous about ecomomic disaster at this point. Save some funds, cut down on some inventory purchases for the time being, and hope this bug gets stabilized fairly quickly. That meaning possibly several months at least.

Slow for me too, but I am hoping when all the panic toilet paper buying subsides, people will start shopping online since so many are stuck at home. Im still getting sales, but about half what they should be.

Monthly subscription fees should be put on hold now and should have been put on hold last autumn per this ebay admission:
"We do not take these interruptions lightly and we’re committed to working harder for you and your business.
When asking sellers to update their listings, as part of a Seller Update, we will not make multiple updates and item specifics requirements simultaneously. We will instead make changes gradually so the flow on effect is not felt all at once by our sellers. We will not be making any further planned changes in 2019 so our sellers can focus on holiday."

It appears by the latest release from EBay that on wednesday 3-25 we will know what that is. It says defer? so I guess just hang in there and stay safe for sure

I started that when GTC started only allowing my free listings to occur and will keep it up forever as long as GTC continues.

If Ebay were smart, they would remove any GTC listing fees now during the crisis and let the sellers post as many listings as possible for free. Everyone is home and has time on their hands.
Next, Ebay should advertise that and let the world know that there are many more listings of things out there in Ebayland.
The buyers would then get some interest to see what is now out there.
Imagine the position Ebay and us sellers would be in when things finally turn around and the pent up demand is uncoiled! They would also still pick up some random sales now.
It would be a win win for everyone then - Ebay, sellers, and buyers. Maybe at a level not seen before?
