Anyone else notice sales drop after MP?

Can't ignore less sales after MP? Anyone else?

You may have less sales but it would be very difficult to blame MP.   Buyers don't know whether or not a seller is in MP as they pay the same way they always did, paypal or credit card.   But with MP, they can also pay with google pay and apple pay.   That would tend to increase your sales.

Don't forget - buyers are fickle, fashions change, items go obsolete and new competitors are always coming at you.

I can see where it could make a difference as many sellers have greatly extended their handling times to allow for the funds to be deposited into their bank. Many buyers will avoid sellers with long handling times and buy from someone who will ship the same item quicker.

My sales have increased but not because of MP. Just depends on what you are listing.

I didn't sign up for MP and they restricted "Bullied" me from adding new listings so all the ones that I was going to put here are just going elsewhere to make other venues Money.  (Not to smart if you ask me)

They actually did me a huge favor, I am selling a lot more items on the other venues now.

Good luck to everyone who these horrible policies affect.

You have a 10-day handling time before shipping item...that could be turnoff for buyers.   Buyers expect and demand same day shipping.

Yes. But not sure that's the whole problem. The economy is a mess and getting worse. People are pulling back to save up for Christmas.

Probably a combo of issues.

Good luck!

Good point. I forgot we did that. It's how we handle time away. Then when Covid and USPS games started, just kept at 10 days to be safe. Thanks.
