Big Drop In Sales & traffic since 3/1 Anyone else?

[woothy]

Has anyone else noticed a big drop in sales & traffic since the first of the month?  I had a pretty decent February

but things really dried up after that.  Any replies appreciated.

Hey - like you, i use images within the body of my listings.  i noticed that for the last couple of days my images have not been displaying.  i just checked yours, and see that yours are not either.  then again...someone else says he sees them.  check to be sure, and pls reply either way.  thanks!

I just checked, the images within the listing body appear just fine for me. Checked one of your ads and one of the OP's. All good.

I checked a few & it looks ok.

NEVER MIND...  i have determined it is probably the fault of my equipment.  i apparently don't have enough memory to display the images properly.  sigh.

[c.b.]

wish i could edit my own posts...  it seems to be a problem with my computer.  i have a habit of running out of memory and i seem to have done it again.  I APOLOGIZE!  i don't think this has anything to do with the OP's issue.  please ignore.

good luck to you1

Massive drop since they announced the update.

I would say that 4 days does hardly a trend make. I'm not going to snoop your feedback to see your average monthly sales, but generally,  I wouldn't expect any seller to have such a steady daily sales rate to warrant being alarmed by 4 days variance.  That you had a great February sounds like reason to hold steady the course. Good luck!

Many ebay buyers are ebay sellers. No one upset over the update would be in the mood to buy IMO. See my above comment too.

[juststuffisell]

Yep, but I have also been letting my listings expire and not putting up anything new beyond what I have up. PV on the new items are sluggish is about all I can say. But...meh....my prices are high as well 🙂

[mycheaperstuff]

That makes sense too, in that many advise the antidote to slow sales is adding a new listing daily.

My sympathies for all concerned about slower sales since March 1.   

My daily sales volume is low, so I experience many 4-day and longer periods of no sales. Just a different perspective.

mine dropped since past November... Actually now is finally getting better!!

I think there is something wrong with logging in thru the phone (which is 50% of my business). When I log in thru my phone ( not using the app just my browser), almost none of my listings show up in the first 4-5 pages using best match. But when  I log in on my computer, I have 28 out of the first 50.

please post how you search and what keywords people will use to look for your items.

is this your selling ID?  will i be able to see your listings?

i want to try to duplicate what you get and see if i notice anything.  also, maybe some of these clever people here will notice something too.

[woothy]

Yes this is my listing ID. I logged in on my phone to ebay.com & searched for "quilt Stencils" under best match. I did not use the eBay app. When I compared these listing to the same search on my computer I got different results. Very odd.
