Realization.......
Today I realized I'm done.
Around 7 years ago the algorithm was introduced and my nice little business of affordable clothing has just been a constant up hill battle.
I've done everything humanly possible to save my business but sitting today surrounded by my winter collection to list, it seems pointless.
Returned home from vacation to negative feedback (none of my fault, overseas transaction which eBay told me was being taken care of) and neutral feedback from a clown who tried something on, found a minuscule issue to justify shipping back to me at MY COST again. Cheaper items = Worst buyers who lie.
Sales, promotions, reducing prices, sending offers countless efforts to stay afloat. NO SALES/lowest sales in 22 year history.
Shipping costs, eBay fees, saturation of products have me beat .......
