10 days and no sales I hit a new record

[gratescape]

Well, no idea what is going on but this is the first time ever I have gone 10 days without a sale. I have been through slow times before but this takes the cake. Hopefully things readjust soon.

Same here. About a week for me now too and i normally average about 25 sales per month. Not sure whats going on? Maybe everyone is outside doing yard work??

Yep, sales down 86+% since 3/18.

Buyers/sellers are gone, Ebay is a ghostland. As a buyer myself I'm seeing very few new listings across the multiple categories I search. Where I would average 9-10 full pages of new listings a day, Im lucky to get 2 these days. Its bad, real bad.

Super slow for me too.   I work for the school district and it was spring break week.  I hope everyone is just on vacation.

I tend to think it has more to do with the new mandatory GTC listings, it seems to be a widespread issue of low to no sales.

May i ask how many items you have listed?

Things were VERY slow me me in March but have picked up in April.

I think i've already sold more in the past 7 days in April than i sold in all of March.

Don't worry, things will pick up.  Good luck to you!

Same here.I have went a several days without a sale,normally i sell 1 to 2 items per day or more. April tends to one of my best months of any year? March 2019 on the other hand was the best month i have had in years? No longer can i predict what will sell?  I still think GTC Auto Relist has something to do with this slow down. It's affecting both Sellers & Buyers IMO.

Something is terribly wrong on Ebay,you can actually feel it in the air,kinda like an impending Hand Of Doom.  The Ebay Reps are mute to our complaints over the GTC Auto Relist. I am no longer motivated to clean & grade records to get them ready to list,sorta feel like i'm wasting my time? I've enjoyed selling records,CD's and other things since 1999 on here,now it's like "Whoa" is it really worth all my spare time doing this? Something's gotta give!

Very, very slow for me too...Since January 2019 till now

[kathieskorner]

I have the same impending hand of doom feeling, and am also having difficulty finding the motivation to create new listings.  I've weathered the sales fluctuations since 2007 - after the eBay boom years - but I've never had a month anywhere near as bad as March 2019 (Jan/Feb were normal), and April isn't looking any better than March.  

I am glad I closed my two eBay stores a year ago as current sales would not support the subscription fees.

It has been 4 days since my last sale. Spring Break has just ended in my city, people are returning from vacations.

I expect sales to pick up soon, hopefully they will.

I’m beginning to believe in the rotation of sellers visibility.  I haven’t sold anything in weeks and suddenly had several sales!  Woo-Hoo!  I am a very small seller, only have about 60 listings.  My main niche is mid-range designer handbags.

[spittser]

Do you only sell in your city? Are your items pick up only? Spring Break across much of the country was weeks ago. I hope everything picks up for you but lets not fool ourselves. It's not inane excuses like vacations, tax time, not tax time, it's a holiday, it's not a holiday, it's hot outside, it's cold outside, it's raining, it's snowing, the weather is great so no one is on their computer, and my favorite, the government is shut down so the .05% of the population that is affected must have something to do with it. These issues could cause the sale's needle to move just tiny bit either way but they would not be noticeable to any of our sale's numbers. It is simply eBay and their stupid attempts to stimulate their growth. It's almost like they hired someone to tell them what would be best for business and every time there was a common sense suggestion, they decide to do the exact opposite. The real question is WHY! It boggles the mind.
