I don't know if the economy is affecting sales, I don't know if Ebay is failing, I DO KNOW THIS:

So many posts about lousy sales. Is it the Economy? The Summer slump? Ebay issues? I don't know. I do fight to keep sales alive using every tool in my toolbox.

But here's what I DO KNOW:  There are a lot of glitches when I'm in the Ebay system.  Have been for some time now.  Programming issues.

1. For months now my Overview Sellers Hub shows I have offers when I don't. 

2. Listing can be an issue. Especially trying to load pictures at times. Just keeps spinning. I sometimes have to just save the listing and come back toit later. Wastes my time.

3. Speaking of offers. Ebay programming is off and changes my $14 offer to $1. My $25 offer to $2.  I have to fix it by using another dollar amount.

4.When Ebay changed some of the categories and imported some of my listings into new ones, they cut off part of my info in the description body. Usually my code for where my item is stored. Fun.

5. Item Specifics. Oh, Lord help us. I could write a book on issues there. Such a mess. 

I'll stop at these 5 pet peeves.  What about you?

It sure looks like somethings going on.  I've been on ebay since 98, and seen a lot of changes.  When there were downturns or slumps, people would get on the boards and complain, then the Ebay cheerleaders would shut them down with all the same old stuff.  They look at your profile for anything, and tell you, it's you, or what you are selling, everything is fine, nothing to see here.  This time it's different, the cheerleaders are still around, but they seem few and far between, and their arguments are just getting lame.  So yes something is a foot.
