I'm now doubling and tripling the time span between sales on my accounts. This is major record territory for me. I have accounts that haven't produced sales in over a month or two. In the past month I've only had 1 sale on this account for less than 5.00 out of 10,000.00 in inventory.
That's completely crazy. All my accounts on eBay are doing the same...Nothing. It's not the economy or the stuff I'm selling because my accounts are mirrored on other venues, and my sales there, are normal an steady. If it were either of those issues, than my accounts would be dead on those sites also.

When your only getting 1 or 2 page views a day for an entire account with all that inventory. You bet it's not me, and it's eBay. I personally don't know one selling account that has a view count that low per day, unless the account is not active.

Just spent about 10 seconds on your new listings. That huge heavy crystal tapered vase you and I both know is German glass marketed by Mikasa. German Mikasa vases do not bring in $61. Mikasa is just not a big seller.
Your Antique pair of Ivy vases are Bristol glass. Why don't you have Bristol in the title?
That miniature oval rug for a dollhouse? At 11 1/2" long? I don't think so! That's an Italian vintage doily or runner, that's all it is. Cute way to try to market it, but at $41.99? Way overpriced.
Those cobalt mugs? I can't even SEE THEM to tell you what they are. I assume Libbey. Buyers can't see them either!
That Mexican tooled leather purse? That price IF it was in pristine condition, and yours has a lot of issues.
Ok....I'm out for now, not going to critique one more item. I have sales to mail off.

Large dollhouses have large oval rugs .....
I have an oriental/persian one listed(at the other place) that came out of a toy/doll museum dollhouse - included with the Arcade Karpen Davenport and Chair. It's exactly how it was in the living room of the dollhouse.

It seems weird to have a 7" round vase under Toys/Marbles, even though marble is in the title.

With several people on the board viewing Time's listings everyday giving selling notes and tips I am surprised they are at only 1-2 views. Unless it's another account being referenced.

I am not sure I read that right. You have 10,000 items listed on ebay (I guess on other accounts)? That's hard for me to imagine and impossible to imagine that you aren't selling truckloads of stuff.

It gets lost under the "stone" marble anywhere else. Plus it was designed after the antique swirl shooter marbles toy. I actually have one that holds all my hand made antique swirls.

Actually this account is actually getting a few views, and it's due to that.

One digit too many. 1,000 items. Though I have way, way more than 10,000 items. I have over 16,000 silver age comics alone, and they take up very little space. I have more items than I can count. I would have liked to get more on eBay, but right now that's not where my stuff is selling, so I have to put what I can where the money's at.

rschissler its a contemporary art glass vase sold at marble shows. Makers call them a clambroth swirl vase $12.50....

I really don't know what everyone is complaining about...... lowest fees I've ever paid and plenty of time to fish..... sure some days when no fish are caught I get hungry but I needed to lose some weight.... plus when I called CS, they said there was "nothing they could do for me but.... on your deathbed you will receive total consciousness".... so I got that going for me....
There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy and a tragedy.

True that, but that isn't what he has listed. Look up vintage Italian doily and you'll see them exactly like his.

I know - check out mine(G it, i think #5). It's a real rug. Pretty cool, actually, which is why I kept the set together.

sweet! I found your other E listings.
I have some of those Italian doilies somewhere, sometimes sets of them, they came in threes, often an elongated one with two smaller circular ones. I can see marketing them as dollhouse rugs, as well as doilies, sure why not, doilies aren't exactly hot. It's the price that isn't sitting well with me, as many of time's listings. It's not that he doesn't have desirable things, some are, but, the prices are high, too high for sales.
