We have been selling on eBay for several years. We have had sales go up and down over the years but drop in sales over last 5 days has been steep. We sell iphones and also sell low prices replacement batteries for cell phones (LG, Moto, Samsung). Our traffic seems to have completed stopped. Even messages from our customer have slowed.
Any thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Five days is a statistically insignificant time period. You should be following 30 day or 60 day averages.

I'd have to agree with that. It has been crazy the past 10 months. Not just on Ebay but on other sites I sell on. I welcome the sales of course.

I believe I'm still entitled to my opinion on these boards, EXCEPT when one makes a comment the CP don't like. Then you get the double-barrel treatment.
BUT, if you make such a comment against a CP operative, your post might be removed. eBay PC at it's best/worst.
Congratulations on your sales doing so well.
These are Discussion threads. Every time someone sees things a bit differently than you do you take offense and call them the "comment police" when in fact it is just someone else that sees things differently than you do.
Imagine what the world would be like if everyone saw everything in the same way. Not only would it be boring we would learn nothing and certainly not advance on any subject to be sure.
No offense was intended so no need to take it that way. Simply just part of a civil discussion, nothing more.

For whatever it is worth, I had no sales as well the 27th thru the 30th. Two sales have come in this morning to break thru the iceburg.
