Are EBAY 'fixes' generating more sales for you?

[bill.purvis2012]

How's sales for you?   Better?  Mine are still slower than past history.  I expect I can't get around revising all listings with the hope that will help.

Same here! But it is costing me more besides!

My sales before the changes the first/second week of October were up 1,000% over last year at that time as I had added so much to my store over the last year. After the changes the first/second week of October my sales dropped to almost nothing with buy it now's, auctions are not even being shown I believe. I'm now way down over last year at this time and yet have quadrupled my inventory since last year at this time. I've seen it bad over the last four years or so but never this bad. It's not even worth me listing anything anymore.

Our Ebay sales have been up consistently month to month this year over last year, mainly due to all the work we have put into listing optimization this year.  The "fixes" had little if any effect.

My sales are down 60% for the year. I plan to drop my store when it comes due in June. For the first time I have sold more on Facebook Market Place then ebay this last quarter.  They should make an ebay "NEW" like ebay motors and keep the vintage items on the original ebay.

Is this information for real?Who pays attention to what is going on? It looks to me like the majority are saying the same thing. Our records seem to tell the same story. I am spending more time on eBay and selling less. What is being "fixed"? iandibooks

So you're having to sell 80% more product volume to generate the same revenue?  That's pretty scary.

The mess eBay made out of the item specifics in October put a big hole in my sales - I can fix the actual date. They're finally recovering thanks to many revisions and GTC making my items more searchable.  Before then I had no complaints.

My sales are 0. I have stopped listing on Ebay. Putting my energy into something more productive.

I agree! The buyers cannot buy what they cannot find! My main two sale items completely dropped sales. Totally. I am at my wits end with it and cannot understand what is going on.
