It's US Thanksgiving

[sakic92710]

It's a big holiday in the US so, I guess that means no one in the US can buy anything on eBay NOR anyone in any other country like Canada (my home).   Most weeks are depressing but, this one is 5x worse.  So, this is my thanks for eBay.  LOL    Good luck to us all.    🙂

Maybe eBay throttles sales for non-U.S. sellers on big U.S. holidays, too, just like they do on weekends, right?

Something to think about . . .

I sell on multiple platforms and I haven't made a single sale today on any of them--yet 🙂 (Fingers stilled crossed). Can't remember the last time that happened.

Remember that Thanksgiving day is commemoration of how fortunate we are, for things could really be worse.

Best of luck!    🙂

Hate to burst your bubble but I had quite a few sales today.

I had my normal number of sales, too (more than I expected, considering I've barely been listing).

This a strange, sort of sometimey time of year.  When people realise that it's the same old krap being sold EVERYWHERE on those big Black Friday sales, they'll come here afterwards and look for the good stuff.

Not sure where you hear that but Ebay is open 24/7 365 days a year. There are no holidays for Ebay. Many buyers still go on line and shop even on holidays. If you are not getting sales it just means no one on Ebay those days wanted your stuff.

No. Just to make sure I checked two of the OP's listings. They are there.

duck pins bowling set 2 of 54

munro all-star table hockey game 4 of 6

(didn't type the word "vintage" because the OP misspelled it)

Sales are down across the board. May I say that it is often hard to compare seller to seller with sales because not only what they sell but also how much they have listed. Now if someone with over 10,000 listed didn't get a few sales - then I'd definitely think the lights were out.

Those who don't sell really don't have the experiences that sellers on this platform and others have. I'd be more interested if they admitted if they bought anything here or on other venues so that sellers here would know that buyers still do shop on Ebay and are proud of it.

I also had a few sales today, more than I expected really....

Well, if there weren't at least 1 three day weekend in every month, it would seem 'unconstitutional'!  And, this one is a bonus - it's four!

But was it needed? I'm very concerned about many of the posts on here lately. They seem to make fun of or are very rude to other posters. In the past it wasn't tolerated and why many posters have left recently.

What is the purpose of your numerous posts about lack of sales?  Do you hope to get insite, help, or just vent?  

I know others have offered suggestions, and I hesitate to do that again, but my personality type has a difficult time not trying to help.  I have cut back on my descriptions over the years, but sometimes it pays to go back and give some details.  If you have time on your hands, take a look at some of your sparser listings.  

I see a poncho with no size/measurements/or any idea what it is make of.   I see a neat vintage set of kids duckpins--one photo, little to no description (not even a close up of the brand name which you were unsure of).    I see you still use the disclaimer of NRMT-MT on every listing.  I'm a simple person, I don't know if you are using that for every item or if it is just filler.  

What could it hurt to do more than copy/paste your titles as the descriptions?
