SALE DOWN

[maliknasir-14]

hello how are you everyone  

i am working on ebay from past 2 years my sale is very good 

but in these days my sale is very down 

can anyone guide me about it 

[ckimodog]

Many people here have slow sales.  Reasons being:

High gas prices

High Grocery prices

High medical costs

High insurance costs

High cost of rent/mortgages

High everything.

These are what are known as "Essentials." You must pay for these essentials before anything else if you want to eat and keep a roof over your head.  Collectors items not so much.  I really don't need a sword more than I need to pay my rent. 

Your feedback doesn't paint a very good picture as a seller either.  You should perhaps pay more attention to your shop and your customers who have had problems with the items you are selling.

Hopefully things will improve.  Until then, this is the reality of it all.  Hang in there.  Stay safe. God bless.

I looked at  your listings and says "ships worldwide" but exclusion list shows many, many countries.   That could be why your sales are down.

 Excludes:  Africa, Asia, Central America and Caribbean, Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, Bermuda, Greenland, Mexico, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, American Samoa, Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Guam, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Wallis and Futuna, Western Samoa, Russian Federation, Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Gibraltar, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Ukraine, Vatican City State

Your feedback is probably working against you. Many buyers won’t even bother to look at listings from a seller  with less than 98.8% fb, me included. Can you find some items around your house that will be easy to list and, provided you give good service, will help bring your score up? And @caldreamer  is correct. Saying “ships worldwide “ and then excluding a huge part of the world could be viewed by eBay as manipulation. Maybe dropping  the worldwide will help.

HI!   I don't let neg. feedback other me when I look at items. I read the good feedback.  You might be missing out on some wonderful deals doing it your way.

I think the corona pandemic must have affected a lot.

In my categories when sales seem stalled I try setting a few auctions instead of BIN sales only... or try to diversify my listings by selling other items that are related to my main activity.

In your case IDK you don't seem to have any items for sale.

Hi, @caldreamer since the OP is selling knives and swords, there can be restrictions on shipping such items internationally.  Some countries, such as Denmark, Uganda, Japan and the United Kingdom, explicitly prohibit certain types of knives. This may have some bearing on the OP’s omission list of countries, although it seems rather extensive.

@ulfesharpe 

The OP has 314 listings.  You probably can't see the listings because you may be one of the countries the seller doesn't ship to, so you wouldn't see them.  They sell knives and swords from Pakistan. Very nice items.

Oh, right, that's probably why @ckimodog 

And, as mentioned, probably to do with shipping restrictions also.

Your sales are still at least regular, so you're definitely visible on the website (I agree, very nice items!), but a lot of things are slow right now world-wide.  Just be very consistent in what you're doing, quality control, etc.  Mostly keep active on the site with listings and relistings.

My sales the past 1 1/2 years have been really good. This month they've tanked, not sure why...

[maliknasir-14]

I EXCLUSION THESE COUNTRIES FROM PAST 2 YEARS BUT MY SALE IS GOOD

Or perhaps what the seller is selling might be something people don't really need or can afford.  Especially with very high shipping costs attached.

Hi ..I think you have to work at eBay selling everyday. Don't miss your customers & your business. Then you can be a good seller and you'll be able to increase your sales. Thank you! I hope this reply is helpful for you & other eBay sellers.
