Listing without general campaign promotions
I've been tracking my traffic daily for almost a year now, I have never used ad promotions. I've had good traffic and good sales up until 2 weeks ago. My listing impressions are all of a sudden down 37%, my sales have dropped 70%. I don't understand what's going on? My product hasn't changed, my prices haven't changed, I list new items almost daily, I have excellent feedback and a 100% rating and have never even had 1 bad review, and I'm a top rated seller. I am stunned and can't understand what happened?
I almost feel like the algorithm was changed and trying to force me to promote my listings to pay more fees
😞Â
I can't find any answers in help as to how the listing impressions work organically? Is there a specific percentage rate of impressions eBay uses according to age of the listing? This makes no sense to me, I've been listing new items at the same rate I always have, same prices I always have, sales were only going up week after week all up until 2 weeks ago and all my metrics percentages are now in the red with an average of 35-40% down across the board.Â
😞
Only thing the bot keeps telling me is to promote my listings and seems to not have any other answer? I don't want to promote, I already pay shipping on everything I sell, and the fees are already high, is there something else I can do besides promoting through eBay? Or can someone explain to me about their organic impression policy and how they measure how many impressions they will do without me having to pay even more out of my already low profitability as it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lynn
