Sales Dropped to ZERO out of no where....

[buriedtreasuregiftshop]

Just wondering if anyone else has had their sales completely shut off before.... It's been 7 days without a single sale... My impressions, traffic, ect...is all down 50-75% out of no where.  I've been slowly building the store up since Sept. In Nov- Dec I had 50-100 items and was getting sales at least a few day a week. In January I was up to 200+ Items listed and had a great January with sales almost every day, I doubled my 30 day average for Jan compared to dec.  Jan 30 all of a sudden everything stopped...Every day my stats were turning red and that % just keeps growing. It just doesn't make sense.  I've ended about half my listings and am editing them to try to help but no idea what's going on.

so how does ebay make money by not showing your items?

My sales have fallen off the cliff as well.  No sales since April 14th and those sales were offers.  So I sent offers once again and no sales.  Sales are down 63%.  Listing impressions are down 20%.  Grant you my items are a more limited market.  I also thought with Mother's Day coming up I would be selling some items.  My February was wonderful.  March good but April is going to be worse than January.  Ao you are not alone!

By showing higher prices items. And mostly off ad fees now. Thought you'd know that by now

Oh please with the almighty guide thingy.  No sales since 4/12/24, eBay has become a money mongering

eBay is like the stock market.

It "fluctuates."

Also, like the stock market, it does other things to you that begin with the letter "f".

Ha! Ha! Good one! I laughed hearty at that one! As for myself, I haven't sold not even one item in a month- all my listings were promoted 10% or more and were under a "35% off sale"- little good does a Top-Rated Seller status do!!- so in my disgust I have decided to take down most of my listings and sell elsewhere. (From 620 listings in the beginning of April I have now a little over 100 now, and even though they are promoted, I have put them at my price... if they sell, they sell.  I basically give up.) This venue is just not what it used to be; as the great bard Chaucer once said:  "All good things must come to an end".  And as another said, "Good-night, sweet prince."

The few listings I checked your price is more than triple your competitors.

You Shouldn't get sales.

[vanpatrick2005]

Good points! Especially about "spreading the wealth".  I couldn't overcome a gross sales threshold no matter what I did, and not for a lack of trying!  Also, eBay isn't the 'new, hip' thing it once was; younger buyers use Temu and other platforms, they buy off Tik Tok. I was recently asked  "You sell on eBay? I'm surprised its still around!"

[retrogames10000]

Keep trying your best!  Don't give up today!

We still haven't reached rock bottom!!

Hi @sportsbuffjr Just to clarify, what post are you referring to? (Looking at your sales, they seem brisk it with multiple transactions nearly every day lately. Congrats!!)
