Ebay must invent something quickly. The sales are going down and down and we will crash everybody

[priorityservice]

This month I have until now 0 sales the last month only one. This is a disaster !!.

What is going to do Ebay in order to stop a collective crash and in consequence the similar destiny for the Company in general?. WITHOUT SELLERS EBAY WILL BE OUT !!

This article never really explains how vintage or antique items will be seen because there is No catalog for these items and no way to group them since most are different. Ebay needs to explain this further and to start to be honest with the sellers. If they are not going to show these items in a search then why are we being charged 35 cents per listing. Something is really wrong with this and is very much showing in the sellers sales of these items.

No sales for three days. What is going on?

One thing I have found is the shipping amount. I ship almost exclusively small flatrate box for $7.05.  So many sellers are asking double and tripple that for an item I know can ship for $7.05. So I just don't buy from them and they wonder why there item didn't sell. It is almost as though eBay put in calculated shipping all on their own.

I am also having the same problem with 75% decline in sales last two months. Ebay is telling me it is a bug and they don't know when it will be fixed. At this point, I will likely end up closing my store. Unbelievable.....

I would recommend trying some of these other selling platforms like Etsy, Alibaba, Craig's List, Posh Mart, etc., and see if you get better results selling from there. There are a large number of different platforms now available for sellers to try, not just eBay anymore.

I had no sales in this store and only one sale in my other store for December. When my yearly rent is up on this store, I am closing it. I can't afford to just keep giving eBay my money without any help from them. There are so few views on my listings that I know my listings are not being seen by potential buyers. I have made no profit in the past year and that is just wrong when you are paying for your listings to be seen and not receiving what you paid for. Had I just made one sell a month I would have continued to try, but this is ridiculous. I was fine before all these new features were implemented by eBay. Now there is only me paying eBay for nothing.

I agree.      I hit the back button when a seller wants to charge me $10.00 for shipping when I can mail the same item to him for $2.66

changing their name just paves the way for them to CONTINUE to screw us over ALL OVER AGAIN... All they do is show the buyers how to extort and screw us sellers over and get our items & their money back  at the same da@# time.

my sales are down tremendously also - i did call and a rep told me there was a glitch also and "refreshed" my listings which did nothing ---

[brucechilds05]

I agree, i think they are trying to direct everything to their big stores. I am thinking of leaving and finding some one else, amazon, bonanza and there are others.

u can ooen a shop on 5 mile ...i sell ALOT on letgo, BUT Lemmie say THIS.....Ever since OFFER UP HAS began their worldwide sales instead of locally, its AWESOME! AND , IT WASNT AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO GET PAID! I WAS RESTHER IMPRESSED

Regarding the shipping costs you see from some sellers, I would like to say this. It is not always what you see. I never charge more for an item to be shipped than it costs me. Unfortunately, the ship costs shown on my listings are not what I put there. Many times eBay places a price there that the seller knows nothing about. If it wasn't for interested buyers letting me know about this, I would have lost some sales. I'm sure I do loose some though because they don't message me and ask about the price showing. Next time you see a high ship price, message the seller and ask if they are aware of the price showing as most times they are not aware of it and would be happy to fix it for you.

[usa-ez-store]

Traffic down, Sales down for small sellers only. There's nothing you can do. Better days are coming. Learn how to be optimistic.

This is very interesting to me as I've not experienced this issue. I have 25 feedback ratings and I do get lots of sales each month and I seem to maintain around 50-60 sales in the last 60 days. It is possible the reasoning behind this is because I make my prices extremely competitive and do accept quite a few "Best Offers". I'll be honest - I do not offer FAST N' FREE, I give at 4-day maximum processing time, etc. and still seem to be satisfied with the amounts of sales I am getting. I am wondering why this is happening to everyone else. Good luck everyone! Hopefully, this won't happen to me.
