Thoughts? Response to date?

One sale for a big 10 bucks for me so far...

Well, if (and that's a total unknown) the absence of the eBay MBG on listings is having the effect some seem to think it is........and........being a holiday weekend in the US, not likely to be any staff on board to "fix" it until Tuesday at the earliest........

I'd say pretty dismal.

May as well just go outside and enjoy the weekend.

I've sold 3 things so far today, only sold 2 last Saturday. It's the time of year that people are out and about, maybe less sales. But almost everyone has a phone, and people shop on long car rides.

I have no hopes for great sales totals.

I don't expect people to be ot the comuter/phone looking at/for stuff on a Holiday weekend.

Will take what I get

I predict exactly 8 sales for Memorial Day weekend.

Yup....1 sale for me too. Not expecting much at all, but if the weather's nice...I'll go and enjoy it!

My prediction - Diddly squat. Sales have took a dive since ebay started their "New & improved" process. Case in point - I listed 2 items 5 hours ago, 10 day BIN listing. There are currently only 14 similar items listed on ebay on their whole site. My 2 listings SHOULD have created #15 & 16, but....... 5 hours later and they STILL do not come up in a search on either their App or on the computer. Listed in the SAME catagory as the other 14 listings. I have, however, had a small "Bonanza" of sales on a similary titled Wb page.

Probably a sleeper.

Nobody in their right mind is going to be shopping online when they can be outside barbequing, swimming, working the garden, etc, etc. as long as the weather is good. Mid section of the country right now is getting hammered with nasty storms. Those in the path, stay safe!

Memorial Day 3-day weekend holiday has always been pretty good for me with the exception of the actual Monday part of it. But, I've only had a couple of sales so far today, and Saturday is winding down, so who knows.

Making lemonade out of it (if it sours)... if I'm not packaging sales to go out on Tuesday morning, I'll work on inventory and get a few more listings up, so I'll still feel like I'm workin' the business.

Started to drizzle here. Might as well get to eBay work. The gardening outside is done for the day...

It's suppose to rain here in NY for the rest of the weekend so people won't be outside having picnics. So far I've had 4 sales today and 2 auctions ending tomorrow with bids. I'll take whatever I can get!

Evening,

Zilch except for those folks that are outside with their equipment and a part broke and the only place to get it is from here or across the river.

So far I've had one sale. It is a cold weather item shipping to Australia. They are about to head into winter down there so the timing of the listing was perfect for them.

It's very grey and rainy in my area on the east coast this weekend, so I'm not anticipating much outdoorsy stuff going on. We'll see if that helps online shopping at all.

This error of MBG not showing on listings is not going to help though, especially if you're a 'no returns' seller.

Let's check back in after the weekend and see how well we all did!

pffft

(That's my prediction )

A few sales have come in, but going to go into debt to pay eBay fees end of month again, not enough sales to make a profit running a business on eBay, that is a fact of life.

Many sellers will not be able to pay their fees and will no longer be eBay sellers......

Sounds like your acquisition costs are too high or your prices are too low. You shouldn't lose money selling on eBay unless you're getting hit with some high value SNAD scam & you're losing the case...
