I started selling hand-made arcade wire harnesses around March 22 and from almost the first hour of listing my items they sold pretty continuously (not huge volume as it's not a huge volume product, but steadily at at least one and usually more per day) until almost exactly a month later, the latter half of April, when they completely stopped. All my feedback and customer interaction has been really positive, I have been steadily adding new items. The only thing I can think of is that I am undercutting a few non-US based sellers of similar products by quite a lot (on item price and shipping), and they traditionally have dominated this space on ebay for many years. As an arcade hobbyist myself, I was frustrated to have to order from these sellers and wait for international shipping while paying out the nose for items that don't really cost a lot to make. Does eBay has some sort of algorithm to maximize the fees collected, to sort of downplay much lower priced listings of a nearly monopolized category? Should I raise my prices?
