Did eBay take Sunday and Monday off?

Anyone else notice a huge drop in sales yesterday and today?

I did 12 days in a row with at least one sale through April 1, then it tailed off a bit, although they seem to come in bunches, several the 5th, several the 6th, several the 12th.  

I consider myself lucky, I can knock a big dent in my bills for April and May and go into July with smaller swings even if I sell nothing between now and then.

Thanks. I'm the only one of the 4 of us working right now but I will enjoy the little break. Maybe it means other people are getting better views of their items, or better yet, that things will be getting back to normal soon. I'll take lower sales for that 🙂

Sunday, yes, but today is only 8 or so hours old here yet.

And remember Sunday was Easter Sunday.

Not unanticipated

Declining sales are a steady feature on ebay for manny sellers.

Yes.

All buyers across the world bought nothing yesterday, except from me.

Wasn't yesterday Easter?

Saturday and Sunday were about 48% and 51% (respectively) above sales for this same comparable weekend last year for me.

Monday so far has been quite, but it's only noon for me at the time of this post. 

So no, I don't believe eBay 'took the weekend off'. 🙂

Getting A LOT f views on new listings.  People are out there; window shopping, apparently.   Good luck & stay safe.    🙂

True, but people were home more than they normally are on Easter. I usually don't see this kind of sudden slow down, even on holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are 2 of my busiest days of the year

I'm sure even though were home, they weren't feeling particularly festive given the social distancing keeping families apart.

Can't really fault them from feeling gloomy and not thinking about shopping online.

What are these 'sales' you speak of?

[bar-29368]

It's when complete strangers give you money for your stuff.

Lol! That’s funny! I was thinking the same thing!

[effie*s_trinkets]

not really, actually I finally sold two things after days of nothing.
