    Really? Is this the ebay "soon"?

    header on my overview today - 

    "Your inventory will soon be in demand!

    Make sure buyers see your reduced prices with a markdown sale event campaign"
     
    Uhuh. So if it's going to be 'in demand' why then would I want to reduce my prices?

    That is a new one on me.  I've never seen that before.  Interesting, thank you for sharing.

    Their profile isn't available.

    If it’s in my Overview I can’t see it, nor can I see anything in my Overview right now. At least the tabs are still clickable …Gotta love eBay…Lol IMG_0840.jpeg

    I've been getting that all afternoon. You have to refresh a couple of times before it shows up.

     

    @m60driver  Unfortunately it's one of those headers you can't delete.

     

    This is ebay's retail selling 101 - pay more so you'll be seen & lower your prices mantra. It's all they know.

    EBay's advice is always good for eBay.

     

     

    Keep in mind, eBay is not our friend, eBay is our landlord.

    I actually did a promotional event for one month for 10 bucks off 200 of our listings for fairly high priced items. Perhaps that will help, but if nobody is on here now buying what we sell right now maybe not. We will see. The traffic is down.

    eBay is never wrong. Just ask them.

     

    For best results be sure to set your markdown sale to 80% or greater. Oh, and don't forget your eBay automated promoted listings. Somebodies bound to make money. ðŸ™„

    If it gets in demand sometime soon they might buy more. Ya need all the help you can get right now to get this stuff sold. It’s been a really slow month for traffic.
