My sales have been really slow for the last month or so, asked for advice here. I have over 600 listings.
Some advice that was offered, was to cancel of my GTC listings and use Sell similar. I've been diligently doing that for a few weeks now. No increase in sales what so ever.
I went to my sold listing to see how many things I've sold in the last week, there are items showing sold that I did not sell. They are items from a multi variation listing that I cancelled and relisted as sell similar. Of course because it was a multi variation listing, I had to edit the quantity. I did not sell the Calvin Klein Yoga Pants or The Calvin Klein Sports Bra. Any idea why this would Happen?

I saw the same when relisting. Items with multi-quantity, never showed up in sold listings when they actual sold, but they hit the sold listings when I ended the listing and did a sell similar.
Relisting and Sell Similar also had minimal impact on my sales.
I think the biggest deal is price along with the listing being captured by search.

Just a few things I have read:
Try to list new items every day. Adding new listings can bump up your visibility.
Tweak the titles, pictures or description. Change might help.
Maybe change some prices.
Just some thoughts. Hoping things turn around for you soon.

Had you sold anything from them?
Yes, they were Multi Variation GTC, but have been listed a while. I cancelled the listing and relisted using sell similar. I adjusted the quantity, because had sold 1 or 2 on each listings.

Yes. If you've ever sold any from those listings, Multi Quantity GTC listings (including MV) only show as 'sold' when the qty either goes to zero or the listing is ended.

I've been doing this for weeks. I've been canceling my GTC listings everyday, and changing to 30 days using sell similar. Maybe 5-10 a day, and no change in sales. I've changed pics, prices, titles and nothing. I don't get it. I was doing good until Feb.

Okay, because it was multi variation, I had to relist with original quantity. Then I went back in and set the ones sold to zero. I've done this before, and never noticed that they showed sold.

It might take some time. Maybe try rotating some listings out and replace with new listings for new (different) items.
You could call CS and see what they say. They might be able to enhance your visibility if you call it to their attention.
Just some thoughts.
