Sales Are Down?

Hello I have an ebay motors store. My sales have been decent for the month of August but since Sept 2nd they have been down. Anyone having the same problems under ebay motors?

The China sellers are competing against you even though they are established in Illinois and California. For example: Your Used Item # 172811698789 for 48.75 against New Ebay item # 281919557663 for 46.04.  

Your Used Ebay item # 182760845151 for 45.00 plus shipping against New Ebay item # 302311851503 for 36.91 with Free shipping.

Also Ebay shows the buyer your competitors listing and prices on your listings. You just don't see that on your listing because your signed into Ebay and Ebay doesn't want you the seller to see that.

Its all part of the game when selling on Ebay. Just like Amazon. That why we don't sell or buy on Amazon.

It appears that sales are down for many ebay sellers, since Labor day. Mine tanked. And trust me, it's not your listings, as many here will try to tell you. There is no need to alter them, edit them, or fix them, becuase when ebay works, our listings work, and they get found by buyers just fine. Others will tell you to get fresh and new merchadise, but heck, why do others sell exact same items in high volumes then-while for some of us, sales are dead.

My listings are identical to the ones of my direct competitor, specifics are filled out exactly the same, prices are way lower, but my competitor sells a bunch a day, while i am lucky lately to sell one a day.

It's a constant struggle for some of us, while others reap all the benefits. Sickening.
