I remember when things used to get bids on eBay . Now nothing sells that I put up there unless it's so cheap I make nothing then all the fee's it just not worth bothering . Swap meet seems a better option at this point . Anyone else having same issues ?

I sell Gymboree clothing, or used to before everything quit selling. I look at completed listings 200 at a time and I find maybe 1 item out of 200 that all sellers combined sold. This is a REAL thing. Something has changed. Like many sellers ( I am a Top seller) I have thousands of dollars in inventory and no longer a method to sell it. If I stated out loud, the number of hours I have spent on listing and the amount of money I lost, people would think I am out of my mind. I am not sure I am out of my mind, but I am feeling desperate so keep trying with good pictures, copy and prices, but nothing has worked.

Maybe when saying things aren't selling anymore, posters should mention what they sell. I know for a fact that other sellers of what I sell (Gymboree items) are in the same boat as I am except perhaps for Ebay's top sellers in volume who must be getting more exposure. While I am supposed to be getting better exposure both because I am a top seller and because I pay extra to promote my items, I sell about one item a week or less so I will be losing my seller status soon too after a decade of selling on Ebay. I listed 161 items in Dec, and sold about 5.

Can you please tell eBay to send me my paycheck? 😂

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

How much work is it to list 6 or 7 items per month? And 14 of your 20 items sold, so if you’re losing money, it’s a business plan issue.

@notaswarm You are a new poster ~ FYI, so you won't embarrass yourself in future posts, eBay employees all have an eBay logo at the end of their posts and also the word "eBay" in their user name ID or the word "staff" to denote their eBay status!

How much better life would be, if a liar's pants really did catch fire!

...And these posts are few and far between. There simply aren't many paid ebay staff available to answer everything. They rely on volunteers. Some have been on the forums practically constantly for years, and I doubt anyone has been employed by for that long. Not someone getting paid to sit in forums!

Think about it. Ebay is notoriously tight-fisted. You really think they would pay us? Does this sound like an employee resonse?
