Anyone else experiencing a huge drop off in sales and views?

[zachvas]

Anyone else having this problem? My sales completely died at the end of the weekend and haven’t picked up at all. My views are much lower and I’m getting no response on my offers which is unusual anyone know what’s up?

Oh there sales are much better than that @reallynicestamps .  Look at their Sold items.

You need to be mindful as to where you are at.  This is Ebay's Community Forums.  You are asking someone to break a rule in the community so as to get information about selling on a different site.  Can you see why that would be a bad idea?

i'm just looking into this but am in the exact same boat as you. about feburary or so, whenever they did the update that changed the views from total views to 30 day views is when i went from $500/mo  per (some) items to $15/mo total.

Yes I feel like the drop is connected to the most recent changes and updates too. They need to let us know what changed in the algorhythm so we can fix on our end. Something has definitely changed. I am a long time seller and have had 20-15 items each weekend sell for a long time.. now it's 2 or 3. Nothing changed on my end. Same products. Same pricing, Same store policies. AND is see people spending tons of money every day so I also don't think it's the economy.

You can find similar posts every month for the past several years. Yet, eBay sales as a whole don’t fluctuate a huge amount month to month. This should tell people that it is not about algorithms. This amounts to issues that individual sellers face. It is not eBay ruining an entire research function, do people not think that eBay looks at sales every hour of every day, and compare as to what they had expected? If there was a major change that was causing a huge decrease in sales, wouldn’t they fix that issue straight away? If the necessary change was to go back to a previous listing tool, or a previous search function, they would make that change immediately.

Same here...I always have plenty of orders to process on Mondays, but this weekend feels like an abandoned ghost town.....Hopefully, it will turn around soon. Not sure if it's eBay or something I've done?

My last sale was October 17 and now it's nearly a full week that nothing has sold.  I rarely go more than four days without a sale.  I've been listing stuff which NORMALLY helps sales but nothing.

I wish they would stop tinkering.  The site reminds me of some old sitcom where crazy Uncle Henry causes a blackout while trying out his latest invention.  Only I'm not laughing.

People are ASSUMING they are "tinkering".   We have no more information than that.

@coolections or maybe it's because ebay is knowingly screwing people and purposely deranking people who refuse to pay for views. The latter is far more plausible.

Except that NO ONE pays for "views".  So not sure how this could be any issue.
