Lol, Holy Crow, MAN Is It Slow... And My Listings Are a No-Show...!
Usually we do well right after Xmas because we specialize in older stuff and collectibles. But this month has been SUPER slow, and when I do an eBay search on certain keywords where 100 or so items match up, our listings aren't even being shown even though I listed them a week or so ago. 😳
I've been a Powerseller here for 22 years and know that the waves come and go, but this has been really annoying. I semi-retired last year and am trying not to have to take some stupid job. We were doing around $2k a month since June, so it's pretty surprising this has been going on. I just want our listings to show up the way they're supposed to.
Oh well. Just venting. Hope you're all getting some sales, cuz I sure ain't. 😂

·1 year agoNot that it matters to sales, but the OP is not top rated.
I started the month with more California buyers than usual. Seen snowfalls in places in the country where they are commonplace. My credit card bills have arrived this week and I suspect some people who spent more for Christmas got theirs.
I do not think I have any right to complain about my sales.
Not sure when I will feel entitled to complain.

·1 year agoYou are currently selling about 115 listings per month the last 90 days or about 4 items a day. What is your normal selling rate?
The PowerSeller Program was retired a few years ago. We now have the TRS program.

·1 year agoIt's been really slow for me too...just terrible...I know there are buyers out there with a Neverending flow of money, money is no object....so where are they? Lol...there is a new company that opened up in 2022, they are very inexpensive and free shipping, I know I'm gonna get comments about they sell junk, or cheap crap, but according to my postman, they see more packages from this company then any other place, including ebay and Amazon, people will buy cheap if they don't want to spend alot of money ,they'll wait the 10 days to receive it, if it costs so little, I have bought a few things from them and so far, no complaints 😉

Try closing a listing and relisting it, wait an hour, and then see if it shows up in search; i.e., copy and paste your header in the search window. I think right on or after January 20, sales here on eBay are going to skyrocket. Facebook Marketplace are about to begin to incorporate eBay items to appear-----the announcement last week made eBay's stock sore 9%. It will help eBay sellers 10-Fold. Thank you, Mark Zuckerberg!
