Views and Sales of items have slowed/stopped, any suggestions?

[angsboutique]

Sells were going great and than the views have reduced and so have the sales. Any suggestion on how to increase the traffic and sales would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day!!!

You ABSOLUTELY have to promote your listings outside of ebay. I can generate 15 or 20 views in 10 minutes whenever i want using this method.

My impressions and sales suddenly stopped! They went from 2500+ per day to nothing and no sales.  Any ideas of what could be going on? I don't promote anywhere and rely solely on ebay search so not sure if something inside the ebay algorithm that is blocking my traffic. I've attached the report from TerraPeak analytics but ebay isn't even showing me the data after October 23.

My sales have slowed but Ive also been accidently thrown into below standard.  I called to get a case closed for non-return of item and the CSR (accidently or intentionally) closed the case in the buyers favor.  Which threw me over the threshold of cases without seller resolutions.  I called and had it appealed, it has been removed but I'm still rated below standard, bu it says I will be rated above standard for my next evaluation.   The CSR Who I talked to when I appealed told me that it would affect my sales.

A lot of websites have been attacked recently and I think ebay was one of them, I wonder if that is reason, they are terrified of hacks, since last time.

I don't know about other people, but a couple weeks ago I started changing all my sales from calculated to flat shipping, then last week had a nice big jump in sales, then it not only slumped but it practically broke the floor this week. Items that used to get hundreds of views every time I relisted them are sitting at 20, 25, 29, 15, 12, 0, all over the place, just stuck there, nothing, nada. Gah!

Well what methods are you using to market outside of ebay?

[mallontown]

First thing to do is a search on your listings to see if they are showing up on regular ebay search.

For slow selling items I check by ebay search and my last search 4 of 10 items (40%) did not show on ebay.

When I got to 4 I stopped and called ebay customer service. They confirmed that items were not showing and sent it to a specialist (e-Watch)

Some call this throttling, and I like to think it is a glitch but has been happening more and more to my items in the last year.  

So first check yo see if buyers can see your items.

It was on the top and front page of the selling page board today 03/04/2018.

I did not check the original post date.

Do you always check the origin date all the time chryrylys?

What an  utterly useless comment. Telling people they have to promote their listings outside of ebay without saying how is not at all helpful. Besides that, your listing fees are paying eBay to display your listings to buyers, that's the purpose of the platform and the justification for the fee. And this was the accepted solution? For shame.
