Are all your sales bad?  That is very unusual.  I've been active on Ebay for a long time.  Maybe we can help you as ALL your sales should not be "bad", but we need to know more about how you are defining that.

Advertising here doesn't attract much traffic, especially on the Selling board 😏

I have about 7000 items on ebay

We pay hundreds $$ every month for storage

house is full garage is full yard is full of plastic covered storage

2 rentals full.

Impressions and views are way down from normal.

weekly sales down to around $1000 from $1800 to $2200.

back listing but dont know where to put more.

we have 2 trailers full of new shoes to list.

We sell low cost name brands adidas, puma , skechers,

fila, clarks, and other not so big name.

We run sales 25% off. promoted 4% for all.

We ship for $1 to $3 cheaper than cost to ship on most.

Some we have free shipping.

but having the opportunity to work from home is great.

EBAY has been a great place to make $$.

I know they have problems on the site but its so complicated 

we have to expect that.

You have alot of feedback been here for along time must have seen ups and downs

good & bad.

Dose it get better or just get worse  ??

I thought I was tough but I want to sell my ebay business Im feeling mad most of the time

about sales and all this stuff every where.

THANKS FOR ANY RESPONCE OR HELP IN ADVANCE

Things usually get better over time.  Congratulations on having so many  items listed.  We also have a LOT to list and it is  very frustrating when sales are slow.  We find it very hard to get motivated and at times you need a break just to enjoy life outside the home.

With so much stuff you said you have outside, try having a HUGE yard sale and have $1.00 tables and up.  This might help you feel better.

Remember sales are sometimes a bit slower in the summer.

Sales are slow everywhere. Do you get your items from overstocks and closeouts? They didn't sell to begin with so not a shock sales are slow now.

What we say has meaning.  The words we CHOOSE have meaning.

Ebay offers no guarantees that our sales are always going to be what we want them to be or even close to it.  Ebay gives us a platform in which we can be seen worldwide and get better exposure that many of us can on our own.

Sites this large always have issues of one kind or another.  Most times we likely don't even know that a problem exists then other times we do.  

Sometimes we have to look outside of Ebay for some possible answers.  Ebay isn't responsible for everything that goes wrong with our sales.  Sometimes it is us, sometimes it is Ebay, sometimes it is what is going on in the rest of the world and sometimes it is a combination of all of those things.

A little note.  When we offer Free shipping, that doesn't mean the buyer actually gets Free Shipping, there is always a cost to shipping.  All it means is the seller rolled the cost of shipping into the price of the product.  Some buyers prefer this method, others don't.

Three have been lots of complaints recently that the view counts are off.  That really isn't unusual as it happens off and on all the time on this site.  I can't tell you how many times I've sold something that has not one single view registered for that listing.  

According to your items sold in the past 90 days, your sales are not that bad.  Sure, we all hope for more, but you aren't doing bad either.

The world around us is in a real state of flux.  The economy is questionable, prices for most things that we need have skyrocketed, cost of housing is ridiculous and so much more.  All of these thing play into how sales will be on this site and others.  People have to put their money into making sure their families survive.  It is just about priorities for so many right now.

I feel the pinch just as everyone else does.  I do hope it gets better sooner rather than later.  But just remember Ebay is not always the bad guy, but they are an easy target to blame.

You are selling "not so big name" clothing and shoes in an incredibly saturated market.

Have you considered trying to sell something else instead?
