@chapeau-noir Too late to edit, but I want to add: I think many sellers would benefit from reducing their expectations. I think many of us, especially those who remember (perhaps too well) the good old days, just assume that sales should be pretty steady and that "list and forget it" still works for most stuff. I think it works for some stuff, and it might still work if you have enough inventory volume and are willing to wait for the slow dime rather than the fast nickel. But most of us would prefer the fast dime LOL
As for me, I'm coming to the conclusion that, since I don't sell in one of ebay's Focus Categories, I might need to start looking at ebay as a bit more like Shopify...yes, ebay is an actual marketplace (unlike Shopify), but non-Focus sellers might need to treat it like Shopify: we need to make more effort to draw buyers to our stores, because, as ebay has proven the last few Holiday Seasons, relying on ebay to function like a marketplace for ALL of us is a mistaken assumption.
