EBay always has a period of time when the order volume increases, but there is also a period of time when it is very calm. Not a single order. Very unstable, for some unknown reason, very strange.

This sort of topic comes up quite regularly, ex: Am i the only seller on EBAY with slowing sales? - The eBay Community and Anyone else experiencing ZERO activity on their ac... - The eBay Community and NO SALES - PERIOD - The eBay Community
etc.

Hi @mfuzop
I do not consider it strange. There is a name for it—the ebb and flow of retail. It could be compared to a living, breathing thing, moving at times, stagnant at others. It cannot be expected to remain unchanged.
Due in part to technological advances, we sellers have experienced some interesting and essential rhythms in retail today. As a result, we can forecast sales and predict inventory needs, for example, all roughly based on the main selling seasons for most vendors. However, there are no guarantees that what worked for last season will repeat in this, so fast moving are the influences.
Retail is vastly complex. Like living organisms, the variables are often individualistic and can be difficult to quantify at times. Because we sell different items, in different cultures, in different markets, etc. all across the globe.

If things were predictable, Bed, Bath, & Beyond would still be in business.

The 89.5% feedback could have something to do with no sells.

How are you measuring eBay's order volume? Or are you talking only about your order volume on eBay?

You appear to have some unhappy customers & you are drop shipping. That may have a lot to do with your low sales. If I see a drop shipper, I move on to the next seller. Hope things improve for you.
Happy selling

Checked my files, and looks like your sales spike when both Amazon and alibaba are experiencing site issues. Curious.

I agree with you.
I'm looking for another platform where sales are consistently stable and stay the same all the time.
As soon as I do, goodbye ebay!
