Wow first time I've been this slow. No sales since June 1 2017

Whats happening? Not one sale since 6/1/2017. All of my items are showing that I need to revise them.

I do have them on GTC but never had any problems with that. I have fixed almost all of the ones that had the no sales for 16 months. Still have about 20 to do but it doesn't seem to be helping

 205 Items for sale and I think 5 have the sell simular and rest have revise to the left of them. Help what do I do?

Thanks much Dennis

As Grandpa always said. If you want to open a small business, just open a large one and wait awhile!!!!

Slow as a snail...all listings 1-19 views most listings under 5 views...no views no potential buyer...!

I think it may be my slowest month ever, but I did just get two sales, yesterday and today.

My sales tanked on August 15, 2009, and have never recovered. Since last November, I've had exactly 4 sales. Nothing since May 18.

I avoid GTC, but use a variety of auctions with BIN and fixed-price listings and adjust duration and pricing. Nothing seems to work.

No sales for me since June 4th.

Last summer was really slow too.

Up until June 4th things were ok for me.

I'm a small seller so I'm used to slow periods,

but this is getting long.

It seems to be a growing issue. One of my accounts just suddenly stopped selling on Apr 24th even with over 100 new listings posted the next day. That account still isn't selling anything to date. Even this account tanked. If it continues I will lose all my TRSP statuses.

No customers = No Google traffic, not much you can do about that  !!!!

What does Google have to do with it? People looking for something enter a few words into the search box to find what they need.

Ask John Donahoe, he said 5 years ago that eBay was in trouble due to the way Google changed how they ranked web pages.

That is a long stretch of days without a sale. So far, June has been my best month this year for sales. I see that you've added new listings. That will help, maybe lower your prices a bit as well.

I use to get 25 to 50 page visits a day from Google, which translated into lots of sales. Now I'm not getting any traffic from Google, and my sales have stopped. There is a correlation between the two.

Some people don't understand how the web really works, they have never looked at the referral stats that webmasters see.
