Became a TRS and my Sales have almost STOPPED!

[drusalina]

I became a TRS a month or so ago, and my sales are almost DEAD!  And eBay is not giving me Listing Sales!!! What is going on???

There is no relationship between TRP and sales.

There is no correlation between TRS and sales (you may get higher visibility in search, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a sale).  Assuming this is your only account, your sales are most likely dead because you only have 15 listings of items that are slow movers.

If your goal is to have high sales velocity, list items in high demand with the lowest prices.

It could be like the way my parents' dogs occasionally bark to keep the elephants away.  After all, you don't see any elephants around the area, so it must be working.  Right?  😄

ep - Same thing happened to me - lots of sales for two months - then you are now a TRS - and BLAM ....slow dribble to nothing a day.  I think there is a definite connection - only others it never happened to will say differently.  Rather have the sales and NO TRS.  I think Ebay allows newer sellers to get tons of sales in hopes they will open a store after they become a TRS.....otherwise, they throw the views to other newbies and your items get lost in the shuffle afterwards.  Be happy anything sells.

Not in town (like the deer who have wisely moved into the area in recent years...something that was unheard of when I was growing up here in the 70s and 80s).  The ducks generally hang out in the many stock ponds and other wetland areas outside of the city limits.
