Is eBay dead?

Have y'all been having unusually low activity, views, watchers, sales?  I normally sell at least 3-4 items per day on average and I have had 3 days in the past week or so with a big fat goose egg.  Just curious if there's a glitch in the infamous algorithm or something?  Thanks for your input ahead of time.

Is eBay dead?

Nope.

I just checked. 

The site is still up and sales are happening.

eBay didn't die but it's certainly making me die of thirst!   lol

Re: Is eBay dead?

My sales are down but I blame it on the fact I do time away at the hint any snow or ice and it seems to take a few days to get any sales to register.  My rational is likely wrong but if I blame it on that there is still hope...

Yes, very slow. I thought maybe I had so few views because I refuse to waste money on that promotional sales gimmick eBay is constantly pushing. I have some fabulous items that would normally be snatched up quickly because of my VERY fair pricing. But no sales for the higher end items.

I see continuing sales in the last three days.

 

If you start worrying about sales fall-off, though, in a period of day or a week, you'll drive yourself mad. Take a longer view - you may find that things average out.

I continue selling everyday. My sales are way up in comparison to same time last year.

Re: Is eBay dead?

I have been selling since April 2023, and February 2024 was my worst month ever.

I have been predicting a slow February the entire year and it has turned out to be a top 5 month all-time - so far.

 

It's been a little slow for me for about two days now though! ahhhhh
