Define what you mean by horrible.

Our sales are down from the same point last year.   Not sure if its our fault it could be.   But the market does seem to be down.

Today yeah across 2 accounts. One I run and one I get paid to run.

I rarely dip below $200 a day on my personal. I had 2 "local" Illinois sales and 5 from Australia...how does that even work that 5 people from Down Under all decide to buy last night?

I swear there is a regional on/off switch that some toddler at ebay HQ flips up and down constantly.

Ebay tells us they don't do that and we all believe what ebay says, correct? lol

As to the post my sales are down 35% and I think its horrible.

Yes I am experiencing no sales. Last sale was February 24th and I have tried to talk to customer support but so far have not had any success. I have been having consistent sales up until February and fallen off a cliff since down 75% month to month. I realize that business has ebbs and flows but I feel like I have something wrong that may be out of my control. Usually I will have offers on my stuff but since around Valentine’s Day they have dried up, not even low ball offers. I noticed that people could look at my listings and I would not see page view change. I have tried to explain to Ebay that I think this could be a huge issue but somehow I have not had the right combination to to see what the issue is. Anyone have any suggestions I would appreciate it! Thank you!

Didn't sell anything today, have only been making sales every other day 

So I guess I have something to look forward to tomorrow

Sales from some buyers are just scams.  It is heart breaking since we are raising money for Norther Ca fire victims.

Yes , one sale today , two small ones  yesterday , and what's more there's zero views on items I listed a few days ago . I don't get it , not one view ? I'm beginning to think something has gone very  wrong with e bay . It's not been  easy riding out this storm ,, nothing perfect about it either . 😞  Tulips

Yea,  I've wondered if they turn my entire state off. It's a poor state. Theres another poster on here who complains and we live in the same state. Then I've also had the tinfoil hat idea that eventually cassini spans thru all small US sellers. Until it finds them all. Millions of them, so it takes awhile. Shuts them off one by one. We were shut off in 2013. But it seems some sellers are just getting it recently. I'm amazed it hasnt hit them sooner. Maybe it shuts off by catagory? what do you think? I've also noticed that when we are making good  sales. Bingo shut off. A smart company would show you when sales were good. But ebay is a dummy. guess they dont care about getting fees?

You had 3 sales March 4th - tho not high dollar you still had sales. With only 121 items in an oversaturated category - you can't expect to have a sale everyday.

[tunicaslot]

Each and every year - more sites open up - more Facebook groups form - more local selling apps become available - you have more competition fighting for that buyer's money. 

I look at many of these accts with under 200 listings - be happy for the sales you do get as you are competing with millions of other sellers on Ebay alone. Gone are the days when everything you listed sells - that was 20 yrs ago.

I had a bit of a slump last month, but I think that was when people were busy paying the devils their dues (Christmas bills coming due and income taxes).  However, thinkgs have pickes up since then.  In fact, after I get some sleep, I will already have 4 things to ship out; a plastic coin that came with a Star Wars figure (sold for $7.99 plus shipping on my micro payments account), a pair of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy musical chime toothbrushes on another account ($14.99 each) plus shipping (set up with a combined shipping discount), and over on my Etsy store, a Roger Rabbit cloisonne pin that sold less than an hour ago for $24.95.

And that is only just one evening's worth of sales.  Not going to go into how the rest of the first week of March has gone, since I really need to finish up this glass of wine and get some sleep.  😄

So in short, don't be discouraged, it can get better.

That is news to me that I had 3 sales on March 4th. I can’t see them if that was the case. Thank you
