Re: NO BIDS FOR 2 WEEKS

Two things.

1. Your caps lock is stuck...makes your post difficult to read.

2. It's tax time many folks file last minute. And are more focused on getting their taxes paid instead of buying stuff on eBay. 
There are no guarantees in online sales. One week you sell like your stuff is the hottest thing since apple pie. The following week its dead silence.

Well in 22 years on here I have never gone from 20 to 25 bids a week to zero bids for 2 weeks

Well I’ve been on here for 25 years. Selling and buying. Haven’t been on here in a while selling but I did put a few things up and I have got 0 views. How does that happen? I’ve never had it happen. Now I have. Times are tough for many.

Re: NO BIDS FOR 2 WEEKS

Looking at where the areas of high employment are- and unemployment in the USA is at its lowest  this century.

What are you charging to ship to the areas where there are buyers with money?

Remember those employed persons are not paying income tax-- that was taken out of their paychecks every week last year-- they are looking forward to a rebate.

 

Basically, don't sell to poor people.

They don't have any money.

I like that one - maybe good advice.  For me thinking - maybe poor people, on average, spend more.  That’s why many of them are poor?
