Over all my selling accounts this has been one of my better March 's so farin the past three years.
I've been on eBay since 1998 and selling mail order since 1979 or so.
One account, run by an employee, is off, but I think he mostly needs some fresh material. We haven t given him much new stuff this year.

After being slow for the past 6 months - my sales have picked up. Have you looked at what comparable clothing is selling for? Market prices change and you have to stay competitive.

Mine too have been very slow this month with no sales in the last two weeks. Even putting my store on sale hasn't solicited any response.

Have your sales from March 14, 2018 to late March been zero and come to a screeching halt?
Mine have been quite steady. I listed 20 items yesterday, and two of them sold within hours.
In your sold items list, I see 11 sold items form March 1-14, and 4 sales from March 15-25. That's an average of .78 sales per day fro the first two weeks, and .36 sales per day for the following 11 days.
While that is defiintely a drop, I would not consider that to be a "screetching halt".

No, my sales are pretty much the same as always.. some days more, some days less.. the same up and down *Busy Days / Slow Days* as I always saw in the brick & mortar stores too. But the sales are still happening, overall, just fine, so I'm not having any trouble this month.
Are you keeping up with the new suggestions at all? I think possibly the platform AND ESPECIALLY Google search and the others depend a lot on certain ways our listings are laid out. Are your listings mobile friendly and scroll well? Meta tags set? HTTP all taken care of. Etc. etc. etc. ???
Competition is so extreme these days that everything you can do in listing to make it easy to give your listings decent and even great placement helps elevate you over your competition, so it's worth getting up-to-snuff, if you aren't already. Good luck.

Still dead on all my eBay accounts. Everywhere else sales are just humming along like normal, but on eBay, it's been like hanging out on a dead still night that never ends. They are doing everything that they can to push off the small sellers here.

No, mine have been fine. Above average, actually, which is nice considering February was below average.

No sales since the 12th. I think this is my longest stretch without a sale.

I buy less when promos are handed out like candy. I'm not wading through all of that junk to try to find anything.
Likewise, I list less, because of the above.
