Over the past few weeks I've been noticing an unfortunate trend on my store. I dont know if anyone else has been having this experience but I have been noticing quite a significant decline in sales and in overall traffic. I have made no changes to my store or listings on the last few weeks so I am unsure what could be causing this. I have a fairly high feedback rating (86-1 in the last month, currently working with the buyer to fix that 1 negative review) and everything is in good standings as far as being a top level seller (late shipments, transaction defects etc.)
At face value it just seems like a random drop in sales and traffic for no particular reason so I guess my question here is, has anyone else experienced anything like this? If so, what did you do to overcome it?
Could it potentially be something I can fix personally or is it all just a matter of the buyers not being there?

Quiet a lot of sellers are experiencing the slow down. You have 3 negatives and 4 neutral feedbacks that is not helping matters. You could try running a 15% off sale I assume you are doing 5% promoted listings? Other than that review prices of older stale listings and titles and see if any can be reduced in price. Some sellers swear when they call eBay and ask why sales are down they get sales soon afterwards.

In addition to your negs and neutrals, you are in Australia.

Try 15% off store wide and see if that helps. Ring eBay and ask them why sales are down. They are going to say all is good but sometimes a few hours later you get sales. Optimize older listings make sure your not a victim of photos being removed from your listings. End some older listings and relist them using sell similar.
