Ebay site issues...

Whatever ebay did a few days ago that has caused all these website issues and the major drop in sales for most of us I am noticing a pattern that falls back about 5 months ago.

 

I usually sell 60-100 items a day, this past week it has dropped down around 50 because of the changes/issues ebay has created. The pattern is my organic sales which normally averages about 20 a day has dropped down to 5 per day.

 

So whatever they did has set the site back about 5 months when it was starting to get better.

I usually ship 15 or more items on Mondays but only have 2 going out. Shame that eBay no longer seems to want the site to run correctly.

Re: Ebay site issues...

Your response would make more sense if there weren't so many other obvious problems co-occurring with these drops in sales from long-time, well-established sellers.  I've just watched youtube clips from three other HUGE sellers with listings on par with urban_picker, and all three have stated sales are down for no apparent reason.

 

When you have so many ebay rockstars experiencing the same phenomenon, it's probably not the seller who is at fault.

Re: Ebay site issues...

I'm not seeing any issues with eBay that some of you describe...things are operating normal for me, but like you, my sales have been down the last few weeks...extremely slow today.  

 

We're coming up on a presidential election...which ALWAYS has an effect on business.    Property Tax bills just got sent out (at least in CA), and people are starting to buy Christmas presents, Halloween stuff, and budget for Thanksgiving.   My industry always slows down this time of year.

Combined shipping is not working for a few days now, had customers trying to buy complaining. Also when I go to send an invoice it will not use the combined business policy rules.

Re: Ebay site issues...

This account is moving slower than it ever when I click into my seller hub anywhere, and of course sales have vanished. Two sales in two hours in the middle of the day is not acceptable, and not normal on any day when the site is working properly.

Re: Ebay site issues...

I have ZERO today and one yesterday morning. Buyer messaging me she paid for item 24 hours ago with a screenshot of the receipt but never showed paid to me. They really screwed something up BIG this time. I have reported it in technical issues but ofcourse no one responds. I don’t think there’s a single human working at eBay anymore.

Suddenly my dashboard is imploring me to create campaigns...in French (I'm in WA state, we typically don't speak French here). Oh, I'm not on the French site either.

Re: Ebay site issues...

All I have to say is....EBAY, knock it off and turn my sell button back on!

It seems like every five days my sales drop to a flat line like today.

I just don't know what to do anymore.

eBay is letting you know it’s not a bad idea to pick up some French. I would concur.
