Hello all. Looking at these forums I see many "help, my sales crashed" posts. I have been selling on ebay for about 15 years. Since roughly 2020 my sales have grown to about $120k per rolling 3 months.Every once in a while there has been a dip, but that figure is pretty stable as I always look to add new listings as items sell. Roughly a year ago, say election time last year, my sales started to slump. I would have thought that if anything else, the prospect of tariffs would have increased my sales, just as supply chain issues from covid caused a bump in sales. In the last month or so my sles have really fallen off a cliff. My metrics currently show an 83% decline in the last 30 days with the last item sold 11 days ago. I dont ever remember having a week with no sales. Whats most odd is I have a few low dollar, multi item listings, and two of these listings make up 2/3ds of the number of my sales in the last 30 days (nine in total), where as I'd normally only sell 1 or MAYBE 2 of these gizmos a month. I have seen others talk about contacting ebay to have the search 'fixed' but it's a complicated process. Any specific suggestions as to what to do? TIA
