Ebay must be messing with those dang algorithms again.

So you think the normal 'ebb & flow' of sales on eBay is getting 3 in 8 days then 9 in one?  lol  All of a sudden, for 1 day, several people become interested in your items?

Yes, i think it's normal.

Not GTC.

Not managed payments.

Not the ebay search engine.

Not algorithms.

Not ebay throttling my sales,.

Not the phase of the moon.

What do you attribute it to?

An obvious example of throttling.  You might think it is funny, but I beg to differ.  There is some lady that was forced to buy your Hawaii-themed Starbucks mug, when all she wanted was women’s hosiery.  And, let me guess - your buyer is somewhere on the mainland.  SMH.

That's not "throttling" that's "hypnosis".   😉

I don't attribute it to just being lucky that, suddenly, several of the 'right buyers' converge on your listings.  I attribute it to a larger viewing audience being able to see your items & increasing your chances of those buyers finding your listings in a search.

I've had several sales over the last few days.  People kept describing my items as collectibles that are a hard sell because the audience for such things is limited.  All of a sudden, my listings appeal to a wider audience or is it because a wider audience could view them & increase my chances to be seen by the 'right buyers'??

OK....read through all of the posts.  One type seems to be missing so I'll post it to have all bases covered.

"MAKE SURE YOU PAY YOUR TAXES ON THOSE SALES!!!  THE DAYS OF NOT PAYING YOUR FAIR SHARE ARE OVER!!!"

 There.  All is right with the world.  Have a great day!
