First Sunday with No Sales in Five Years!!!

[crazymodeltrains]

I've been selling on eBay for 26 years and went full-time around 2020. I specialize in model trains, averaging about 20 orders a day. Sundays are usually strong for me, so having zero sales today is extremely unusual.

I checked everything — listings are live, inventory is good, and I’m still showing up on the first page in search results. Nothing appears to be wrong on my end.

Could this be tied to the upcoming tariffs, the $6 trillion stock market dip, or just general consumer panic? Is anyone else experiencing a total sales freeze today?

I apologize & do not mean to criticize but this sounds like a "first world problem."   After over 3 YEARS! of dismal sales, I actually had 7 sales within 8 days.  Followed by a week of 0.  1 random day of 0 does not seem very important.

   Yes too many people fret over investments in the short term and tend to forget the long term part. Either that or they aren't diversifying enough, leading to worry.

   People nowdays tend to owe too much which leads to uncertainy in the future.

   Some people just worry and futures being down certainly doesn't help with that.

   They sometimes forget the glass is half full.............

5 years, 10 years, 20 years ... one Sunday you're bound to have no sales. I guess this is the Sunday. Did you expect to have sales every Sunday until the end of time?  Sure you can call it unusual. Life is unusual. I hope things are better for you next Sunday.

Yes, sales are slower than usual, I think the world is SCARED, can't blame them..things will get better i am sure, they always do. Just another BUMP in the Road of life.

very true, I was just seconding what the OP said. My sales have lagged lately so I am trying to get busy and get some stuff listed.

Well, the eBay Universe didn't listen to me, but the Poshmark Universe did.
