Increasingly Impossible!!

It has become increasingly Impossible to try to operate a business properly on this platform, To properly support a business, you need a certain amount of sales to put back into the business,such as inventory, supplies, & multiple other expenses, & that is not happening here, not anymore, I feel I am being strong armed into increasing PL's & offering free shipping & free returns, & If I do not succumb my sales will forever be suppressed, Not what I signed up for when i started!!

Looking for a specific item will bring that item up.  The problem is when others are looking generally and your listings never show up as an option. I have been suffering the same fate. Things didn't change after 21 years on my end, they changed on Ebay's with their algorithms. Just like Etsy. You can try to convince us this is not happening but our sales prove otherwise. No human will change our mind.

I'm closing my store the 30th of April after 21 years. 

Action is required.

It looks like you have had 2 sales and they were over a year ago. 30% sell-through rate is unheard of on Ebay. You're lucky if you get more than a 3% sell-through rate on here. 21 years of selling, number 2 for cornhole bags for 12 years. Just saying.

Do you work for Ebay because you do not appear to be a seller and definintely not someone who understands what the sellers are going through.

Hot wheels is a highly saturated market.

I currently have like 11 totes of the things (most listed).

It would help if I could just stop buying them lol

@sunburstshops  When I go to my selling page on the app it shows me my last 90 days of sales. I just checked to let you know where I am since you seem concerned with what I said. Current results for last 90 day:

 

243 active 136 sold 3 unsold. I'll let you do the math.

@toomuchstuffagain35  And to think, even the OP says they are hidden, which they are not, he still only has a 1:1,300 chance of selling one. 😀

Seems that the fake news is being broadcasted by the OP concerning hidden listings that are plain for everyone to see. Reminiscent of CNN.
