BLACKOUT SATURDAYS - Anyone else in the dark

Myself and other West Coasters I follow, are seeing feeble sales this and most Saturdays. Is this common with you other sellers out there? A west coast thing? A national thing? Let me know, as I am feeling like Casper.

Saturdays folks are out enjoying the nice Fall weather.

I've purchased from 7 different sellers today so I now at least 7 sellers are not blacked out.

I'm in Southern Ontario  & this is my 2nd straight Sat. without a sale.  Most Sats have been dismal.   Getting too many days with 0-2 sales.   Almost done wasting my time here.   Enjoy your weekend.    🙂

I"m in Fairfield and I haven't had a sale since the last power outage.  My stats say I've flat lined.

Good Moms let you lick the Beaters.

Great Moms turn them off first.

chris, Your location in El Dorado Hills plus the Aerojet jacket bring back memories of my father in law who worked for Aerojet and was integral to the building and plans of that city.

Must be your turn.  You people on the left never buy anything from me.  I rarely see any sales farther away than oh, about Texas.

I'm not the west coast and while some weeks are quiet, they all certainly aren't.  I have weekend sales regularly with the occasional crickets.

Yes, someone please turn on ebay's lights! I'm lucky if I get one sale a day right now with over 1100 listings. My weekends are always dead now. I keep getting new watchers 7 days a week too, yet practically no sales at all. I did just $50 in sales this entire past 7 days.

Ditto.  Just horrible.  It's the holiday season and based on months of very low sales, and just by the start of November,  it's not looking good at all.

I’m west coast - I often get weekend sales. Got a very nice one yesterday.

Saturdays have always been the worst day for sales...  I'm in PA....

I don't know about any other Saturdays, but this past one I only had one sale and got the server down page a few time when I was trying to list. I usually have the most sales Thursday or Friday, I think that is payday for most people.

No Saturday sales for me, but that is not unusual during college football or basketball season.  

 

A far bigger concern is only one sale from the west coast in the past six weeks on all of my eBay accounts combined.

Re: BLACKOUT SATURDAYS - Anyone else in the dark

The last two Sundays, I had a few sales. For some reason or another, buyers aren't purchasing anything on Saturday. 

Hopefully, that will change soon.
