Anyone having an absolutely dead weekend?

[odditiesandantiquities1]

No views, no questions, nada. Oh well....gave me time to add another 10 listings. At least there's something.  More for no one to see....lol.

I did read somewhere that USPS is starting to deliver on Sundays in select areas, as a regular service. In one of their blogs (might even been somewhere on here) they were stating they were working on a "deal" with a major company, or something to that effect, to have regular Sunday deliveries.

Well I hope eBay doesn't make Sunday's a regular shipping day based on just SOME areas doing deliveries. That would mess up the handling times for me.

I sold three things this wekend.  That is slightly better than average.  I'll take it -- hopefully it will open the floodgates for this upcoming week.

Funnily enough, at 2 and 3 in the morning I had two sales. Maybe I'm serving a weekend sentence and I'm free (visible) for the next five days.....lol.

I actually had a nice weekend, which was surprising since weekends are usually pretty dead for me. Most of my business comes during the middle of the week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one experiencing this!! My best sales day by far has always been Sunday, but lately weekend sales have been way down...

Had a decent weekend of sales, BUT, most all my recent relists and many new listings have 0 views which is NOT normal.  There are bots out there that ALWAYS hit these categories for at least one view within 24 hours of the listing.  Some of them have been up for over a week with no traffic.  Odd.

Considering they do not consider Saturday a business day either, yet USPS delivers on Saturday, it is highly unlikely that will happen.

we all are they ask us to dance through hoops and still nothing.  Don't know what to do 

[nawlinsron2]

Raise your hand if you'd like for ebay to give us a heads up on the days they block our listings.
I'd rather be angry than stressed...

Had a good weekend but I'm selling mostly seasonal widgets.  It's kind of amusing (not) to watch them sell within hours of relisting them.  You know, the ones that have been listed for months previously.  

Someone just bought two vintage teapots that I am very happy to see leave my home but they are going to take my shipping department a while to pack.  He's wiped out for the day (he had a Remicade infusion this morning) but whatever - that's why I have 2-day shipping.

And it didn't rain (just a little spitty for a while) and the sun came out and it got warm and I got one more round on the links before the weather gets n-a-s-t-y tomorrow.

Ho Ho Ho and all that.

Yes you are right. Sometimes for days and days the only view I get is the Bot view...but what makes them start to ignore you as well?? Pretty darn depressing when an AI ignores you.

I asked at my post office about it.  He said they are handling Amazon shipments now so in some of the larger cities they are delivering on Sundays for Amazon and are delivering USPS packages as well since they are out there anyway.  He said USPS is doing this now to "improve their service". 

I was wondering why I had 2 USPS packages delivered this last Sunday since it wasn't even the holiday rush period yet.  I guess as long as USPS is handling Amazon shipments we can expect Sunday delivery year round in the larger cities.

Update: After all that work listing, next to no views or watchers, and no sales. I have 841 items listed currently.
