Did anybody else have an epically poor sales day? 7/26/22

[paraquip]

Today I will have my worst sales day EVER since selling on the platform for 23 years.     As of 6 PM tonight I have had a $9.17 sales day.    Which was 98.8% less than the same period last month.

This again has me questioning what exactly is going on with the Ebay selling platform.  Sales down now well over 70%, listings and impression down in excess of 60%

No changes to to my product mix, advertising and I still have the lowest pricing in the category.

Is anybody else seeing this?

same continued problem today, 

only 1 in 3 days,, plenty of other reports of this being a problem in other threads as well.

however also noticing the same problems on other platforms, I think search engines made changes this week affecting platforms all together?

Ya about that

I'm just going to add to the growing list of sales issues I guess... I am a small seller who mainly deals in vintage toys/games and DVDs/blu-rays and am still seeing some sales but it is way down from what it was. I used to have at least 1 sale a day. But I'm now going on 2-4 day stretches with no sales. Pricing strategy hasn't changed, inventory mix hasn't changed, etc. I sell everything at Buy It Now with the ability to make an offer and have noticed more lowball offers recently and even if I go up just a bit on the offer, it's declined almost immediately. But what really opened my eyes was looking at my charts this year vs. last year.

This is June/July of 2021:

And this is June/July of this year:

Again, not sure if it's something eBay has tweaked as some have posted or people just not wanting to spend money like they did last year. eBay page views down about 65%. Sales down about 70%. I do find it interesting that everything is way down for me except views from external sites which are actually up. I sure hope things turn around soon, whether it's eBay or the economy.

Although my sales are double/triple yours, our graphs look strikingly similar. July 26th, nothing. 27th some sales. 28th and 29th, nothing. 

It’s extremely rare for me to have a 0 sales day. Maybe 1-2/year. To have 3 in 4 days, is a first. 
Hopefully it’s fixed soon.

Its really mind boggling how ebay has not addressed this.  It's blatently obvious it is a problem with the ebay system, and not recession related.

I just recently heard announced that we are not in a recession.

With that said, sales may likely decline during the coming recession .

Is everyone preparing a plan to best meet that challenge ?

Sales have been in the tank since July 6th. Been a long time seller with over 5000 items in our store. The impressions just totally collapsed on July 6th and been like that the rest of the month. I did a further investiagation and you know what? Our organic impressions is going up and when we make a sale its organic and the promoted impressions are reading zero on most of the days starting on July 6th. So that means if I am correct no matter what percentage we use for promoted our items are not getting seen. There is something wrong on here and now as of today it says our impressions are down 49 percent. We list heavily every day to with coupons, discounts etc. So something did happen to Ebay
