Had my Ebay store for over 20 years now my sales are gone?

I have been a Top Rated Plus seller for ever and will be loosing that because I have no sales. It is like a switch turned off and my 20 year ebay store is nonexistant. Any suggestions?

@auntpittypatsattic I would suggest branching out to selling different types of items other than jewelry.  Not a huge market for that on a consistent basis.  Also, the more you are able to list a week the better chance for sales.  Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for your advise. Will see what I can do.

Jewelry sellers are plentiful among those who are posting about low or no sales.

Those with relatively low numbers of listings appear to affected,

When my wife sold vintage and estate jewelry at antique shows, only a small percentage of the inventory she brought to the show sold. She brought much more than you have listed, and it is not clear that any more eyeballs looked at them than the views many items now get on Ebay.

The novelty of the Internet has worn off, and buyer behavior has defaulted to similar to other ways of buying. Less time shopping, less tolerance of final sale items, more concern with prices are just part of the situation we are in today.

Happening to me too.

I would suggest that you pay particular attention to the people you vote for.  

Those kinds of decisions have real effects on people - and we're seeing those effects now.

Most of the economic problems you're having are not eBay's fault.

They are trying to survive ... just like you.

Has Nothing to do with politics!!, Save It for your Social Media Platform!!

I'm not convinced it isn't eBay's fault. On this side of the pond similar things are said - it's the economy and people are hard up.

But high street shops are busy. For instance Cash Convertor type shops. They buy and sell mainly used electronics and tools. They are doing a roaring trade.

I often use them to sell larger items and they snatch your hand off. Compared to what you would get on eBay it's often not far off with no postage and no worries just the cash in your hand.

Unless the economy is much worse in America and I don't believe that for a second. I think the biggest problem is eBay's manipulated search.

It is the economy. People are having trouble putting food on the table because of high prices on everything.

The economy has everything to do with politics.  No oil drilling equals high gas prices etc.  it is all about the policies which is all politics.

It is an absolute joke what we are paying for products across the board. I bought 24 rolls of packing tape and and 2 large rolls of 24" bubble wrap this week. Up around 30% since this time last year. Just nutz.

Except the economy is in the toilet all over the world with different countries’ politics all over the spectrum.

That's not how the oil market works.

More production always leads to lower pricing.

It's not direct cause and effect.
