Does eBay cycle small seller visibility?
So I am a small seller - I sell books, perhaps 10-15 a month. I send out a monthly newsletter to my email base around the beginning of the month, which usually generates a certain amount of interest, but then things seem to go dark for a couple of weeks, after which things pick up again. This happens regularly. For example, this month, February, I sent out my newsletter at the beginning of the month, and sold about 10 books. Then nothing happened for two weeks, until today (Feb 18) when I suddenly sold 4 books in quick succession, all from non-mailing list customers. This happens quite often, but I don't understand why. Anyone got any ideas?

·2 years agoStarting around November i sell for 3 or 4 days then nothing for 5 days or so, rinse and repeat.
Our items are not seen simple as that. Good luck.

·2 years agoDo sales vary day/day wk/ wk Month/month...........yes. If the newsletter works, try it twice a month..........look for more ways to bring people to you......social media, etc.
That said......at $2.99-5.99 selling prices and $4-5 shipping. Be sure to figure your profits to see if it's all worthwhile......

·2 years agoBecause you got lucky the first week of the month, and then again today. You said you sell 10-15 a month, and if my math is correct, that's right where you're at, with 10 days to go in the month. So, what's the problem?
