New changes are not wanted

[ozarkauctions]

I have been on eBay for 23 years and this is the worst I have ever seen. Your search pages are way off and confusing, pics do not match listing titles. The sell pages are also confusing - too complicated and automatically checks thing not wanted. Your new changes are cause for not listing on eBay. This really sucks. Thank you.

Use sell similar from an older listing and save it as a template in the new listing format.  Those templates have been life savers.  Good luck - Happy 4th!

Sales have been better than before in automotive parts. Ebay seems to have this space down very well.

„Sales have been better than before in automotive parts.”

really? Not for me

I've also been here 23 years.

Believe me, nobody hates change more than me but change is inevitable.

You have to learn to adapt and move forward.

Maybe it should be management that learns to adapt to the system in place and move forward with it.   Every time there is a management change - it is an excuse for a boatload of changes - none of which seem to benefit either sellers or buyers - just ebay's bottom line.

i haven’t been here for such a long time and I am trying to adapt so hard but nothing works. I am top rated, sell auto parts, accept 30 days returns , list daily (items in demand), promote (not at the minimum rate), send coupons, care how I package and **bleep** I can’t get the hint what the system wants to increase my views and sales. i am doing everything by Ebay books.
Do you have some tips? I know inflation, recession… 150 milion buyers worldwide only? And barely anyone views my items

I'm just a part time seller. I sell mostly inexpensive items.

Me and you have about the same number of listings.

I average 1-3 sales day. Sometimes less. Sometimes more.

I see you sell mostly auto parts.  Is it possible for you to diversify?

That way if the auto parts market is slow you are still able t make sales. 

I hope things pick up for you.

That's eBay's business plan. Making money for shareholders.

All the more since they started paying dividends a couple of years ago.

Before that the quarterly reports were "adjusted" to make the punters who gambled on buying eBay low and selling it high happy.

Now they have to make a profit. Although to be fair, eBay has always been a profitable company, unlike AZ which is back to its old money losing ways after a few years of profitability.

I was thinking about that but I think it is not good to mix that stuff on one account? Would look wierd to sell parts and clothing or something.  Then I would need to open another store and with the views being so bad and me no feedback on another account . There is just so much to overcome. I kind of don’t know what to else to sell so it sells and is easy for the beginner, easy to source, getting wrong items, too expensive, too much competition. This is such a bad time for any changes. My changes, eBay changes

you have good point. This is a change to adapt to. You feel comfortable selling one thing cause you know it and then bam.. that change

Hi Benz, i took a look at your listings. Wow, they look great. It is obvious that you have worked hard and well done. Had some thoughts, with apologies to the OP for leaning off-topic a bit.

I noticed that nearly all your listings are Mercedes parts—some being for vintage models. So you are waiting for just that right buyer.  Despite this, i see you are having consistent sales. So is your concern that it’s not enough sales?

Do the folks with classic MB cars shop on eBay? I know very little about cars and car parts in general. Is eBay the most likely venue for classic MB owners looking for parts? 

It is pretty clear after seeing your listings, sold items and feedback, that lower sales are not as a result of some lack on your side. It’s not because of something you did or didn't do. I wonder if the demand for MB parts is robust enough on eBay to support the effort?

I agree, since May/10th, my sales dropping severely.
As I mentioned earlier at other posts, I did some researches via Terapeak on main keywords that relate with my items.

and i saw the sales trend sudden going down since May/10th.

i think this happend because the ebay's lastest updates (exactly on May/10th) caused "Domino effect" to other ebay's features.

Well said, grasshopper...

There's people who would kill for the amount of sales you're getting.
