No sales , not even too many views lately???

[dollface18]

It seems the traffic even people looking is very slow. Haven't had any sales for months. Is anyone experiencing this? Never was this bad before

[forward-motion]

I have stayed steady all year at record pace. I wouldn't allow myself not to have sales for months without doing something to change. If you go to the sold items, things are selling on this site. SO..... if it is not your items you need to find out what the others are doing to make the sale. In any retail market you have to constantly change to keep up with the market. Doing the same thing and saying nothing is happening is exactly what is wrong.

Ebay is broke get over it

When you say ebay is broke, do you mean they have no money? Or are you trying to say it is broken? Both cases are incorrect. Ebay has plenty of money, and the system is not broken. You can go to sold items and see that it is working fine, those who have kept up with the changes are making the sales.

Ohhhh, thanks for the input. You must work for ebay sense you know all. Just to give you heads up I adapt to everything, I don't depend just on ebay for sales. I have my own web site which brings in more then this platform does. I don't rely on just ebay. I adapt and move on.

 I think what the person is trying to say is all of sudden in the last months viewage has gone way down. 

You can usually tell when you have something that everyone wants as viewage and then watchers starts adding up. I sold alot for me part time this last year. 

This past month while I am still selling I just think the view counter is messed up. There is no way I list something for a week and get 2 views. That never has happened in the past. And like others have mentioned its Sept/Oct where it does slow down yearly.

I never said that I had issues with anything you mentioned.

Ok, cool story bro. I love anytime anyone says anything positive on this forum they must work for ebay, no ebay works for me. That is why I say what I do. 

I really don't care about your sales, I'm just arguing the point that ebay in not "broken" because you can look at the sold items and things are selling everyday. 

Furthermore I go back and read your comments, you are not looking for any kind of a solution, you just want to come here to complain.

Aussies need to contact their PM and postal general if they want to have items delivered to them other than GSP or for cheap. Australia is closed for over 260 days now, and many services are not allowed to enter or enter with crazy restrictions.

I once liked to ship to Australia (by USPS), but unfortunately it is quite problematic until the country is open (NZ even worse, blocked them)

What they mean to say is that they're not selling any of their items and neither are a lot of folk here and we're wondering what's going on with our sales. Obvious day at Camp Thereitis. Yet here you are, cheerleading for eBay and acting very condescending to folk who are needing answers and advice. Sorry, coolections, that ain't cool. Sound advice, not smarmy and condescending comments, is what we all need, c'mon, man.

Yep. POKEMON OREOS FOR EVERYONE!!!

Thats a fair point.

I'm in NSW and we're coming out of lockdown. 

You can still send via ebay standard international shipping. 

I've messaged sellers and asked them if they would use a different method other than GSP and they won't. 

They must be doing OK if they can afford to lose a sale 

But its down everywhere I think 

[domin-tomas]

See, that's the problem. Someone is being honest, you don't care and that's what this is all about. People come on here looking for help and all I see is ridiculing or bashing or sarcasm to those that look for help. I know you don't care that's why I call people like you out. If your not going to help people that ask for it then maybe you shouldn't be on here. Or better yet maybe ebay should close this out because of all the hate that's spewed on here. I'm done here. Good luck to all.

Sorry pal, I see through you. You are not looking for help, BYYYYEEEEE

Selling for over 20 years.

We're now selling our 'holiday' items - experience has shown us that many of these items are very popular this season.

Checking unsold vs sold, many of the items we have up sell in the 75% range (we're about 15% with them).

It's not only sales. It is views and watchers. Some items we aren't even getting the bots to take a peek! And so few watchers that even if buyers are finding the items, it is the wrong buyers.

Historically, eBay almost always messes with their system as we go into the holiday sales.

I agree, eBay is broken.

I've noticed lately that a lot of the things I've listed have had very few views in the first 24 hours, but after that the views took off, so I'm wondering if things might not be taking a bit longer to index these days.

[hobbykollectibles]

The fact is after the stupid “update” of categories change, now much lesser search result has been shown up, definitely buyers can not find their favourite items precisely anymore. This is one of the REAL REASON FOR NO VIEWS & NO SALES!!!

Many people are affected:
