I'm doing everything as i'm supposed to. 

Measurements, good pictures, titles, etc.

what is going on? My sales have plummeted, is it ebay? Or is it me?

The simple answer is that you trying to sell the same thing as millions of other sellers at higher prices .

Unfortunately,  the clothing category is over-saturated with thousands of listings. You have lots of competition to deal with. Try listing other kinds of items, that will help.😆

As others have said, clothing is a busy category.  (Your pictures are excellent, by the way.)

Just a thought:  Do you list Good Til Cancelled?  If you do, that could be a reason for slowed sales.  GTC listings fall off the search index after a period of time.  Happened to me, and I didn't know why my sales were tanking until someone here in the Answer Center mentioned it.

While I agree with the others, you sell better quality clothing.  Your pictures are great, your prices are fair given what you are selling.

My two points of advice-list more: The more you list the more people come to look.

Add some more non-clothing inventory-add something unrelated to the store.

The point is to get people in with more types of items so that people will think "I wonder what else you sell" and go look.

No such thing as too many items.

That makes sense. Thank you!

[2ndeffects]

What kind of items do you think sell really well? Besides clothing.

[2ndeffects]

Make sure to check which type of listing you have.  My sales went up literally overnight when I changed to 30 Day.

And I agree with the others who have said that you should increase the number and variety of your listings.  The more you list, the more you can sell.  A person who likes one of your listings is very likely to look to see what else you've got.

Electronics can be a problematic category from what I have read.

What do you know very well and have experience with?  Something that you know very well, maybe a hobby, something that you have passion for, can make selling those items a good move for you.  You have expertise and experience that you can tap, and your passion will work well by enabling you to create better, knowledgable listings.

Revising and changing listings has been said to help.

Electronics are a scam magnets's dream.

And many who sell antiques have come on with the same problem that no one is buying.

The ones who do well find that one item that everyone has to have but is difficult to get.  And they manage to sell theirs before the bottom falls out, and then they are on to the next thing.
