2019 - brighter & better

Lately, I've had to write some negative posts regarding poor sales.   So, when it is necessary, I should write postive messages when better luck prevails.  🙂  2019 has started out so much better than anticipated.  31 sales in the first week; including an incredible 23 yesterday!  This is what eBay should be about.  I don't expect the trend to continue but, I'm going to be positive about the site as much as possible & see if I can make it a mission to keep sales flowing.  My ONLY current complaint is buyers who make multiple purchases but, do not wait for a combined invoice!  They pay for each transaction separately & add S/H to each one.  FEES!   Argh!  lol   Happy New Year!

Glad things are improving. My sales have picked up in the new year as well, but I was expecting to be slow around the holiday season due to the nature of the items I sell. Hope things continue to go well!

It has been a strangely good week for me too. Strange because it is almost better than before Christmas. And I sell Christmas decorations. 

 

Love the positive post! Hope you keep riding that wave 🙂

Some people keep buying after Christmas because they can't bear to put Christmas behind them.  At least, not just yet!

 

You're right, @gew6463, and I agree.  It's nice to see a positive post!  Sales drive and beget sales, Cassini likes that!  Smiley Happy

 

Wishing you both, @gew6463 and @sakic92710, outstanding sales this year!  And always!

This week has been good for us too!  Today especially, best day in months!  Not sure why as we are doing everything we have been doing....listing/promoting/markdowns/promotions manager.  December was dismal so hope the trend continues upwards! Happy right now!

Good for you sakic - I know you were down in the dumps about lack of sales. Unfortunately - the past few days have been dead for me while previously I had great sales. Everyone gets their turn - as it should be!

For  me sales have merely flipped in January.  In December books and sports stuff sold well, and this account was dead.   So far in 2019 collectibles (including a Christmas plate)  have started to pick up while books and sports stuff are on life support so far. 

 

Just now starting to add new listings - everything listed in December and sold so far in January were long tail re-lists - so maybe  new listings will spark January sales.

Thank you for good message. I don't have good sales. They are very slow but I think my time will come this year as yours and I will have many many sales.

Congrats on the sales increases!

 

I am a firm believer in positivity, no matter how bad things seem to be. When you have a negative attitude, it seems that attracts negative things.  Positive attitudes attract positive things.

 

No matter how bad it gets, there's always someone somewhere who is worse off than you are. I know it all sounds cliché, but that's what I believe and it works for me. Smiley Happy  Keep those positive thoughts coming!
