Ebay and positive feedback

I have sold on Ebay for years and always have positive feedback (184) but since I haven't sold anything in the past year it says I have 0 positive ratings making it almost impossible to sell anything now. How do others handle this?

Why are you assuming that it is your feedback that is keeping you from getting sales?

Your lack of FB in the past 12 months may not be the problem.

Your choice of products is definitely contributing.

Many sellers of books are complaining of poor sales.

Your number of listings is also too small for predictable sales.

@rainingchocolate what counts to buyers is what u get as a seller, which in your case is 61, not 184.

one can't be stagnant for so long and just pick up where they left off. the world still keeps on spining and changes occur, so we all need to keep up, especially when we want to conduct business with another entity.

make sure you r signed up with eBay's Managed Payments system, otherwise your listing will eventually become invisible and any sales u do make, those funds will not be available for u.

here is the link in case u need it>

Your percentage is based on feedback received in the past 12 months as either a seller or a buyer. So if you purchase one item and get feedback for it, your feedback will show as 100%.

Just go purchase one item from one of the larger sellers who have their accounts set up to automatically give feedback when they are paid.

No, it only says you have had no positive feedback over the last 12 months.

You've still got a 184 number, but they show 'More than a year ago'. Slow sales are pestering every seller here. Luck...
