Good Afternoon

We have over the Lst two Months exprienced a LArge sales drop which is continuing and getting worse every day.

Our Listing impressions are done 10% on both minths so essentially down 20% overall in two months.

We have had numerous buyers stating that they are unable to repeat buy more than one item.

The sales and listing impressions are down on all out best selling items. We are a professional hair and beauty supplier so sales stay levelled most of the year until Xmas, however we would historically see a increase from now and are actually decreasing.

Ebay seem to change things regualry which im constatnly having to update, is this having a isse ?

We are ot nieve to think that we wouldnt from time to time have a reduction on sales on certain times throughout the year, however currently the drop is site wide on 100's of our best sellers

Any one help as ebay are useless ?

Hi. Do you list under this name? Because I'm not seeing any listings
It's been pretty slow on my end too. What bothers me most is that Brand names that I have listed before that always get lots of views, are now getting less then half. Have the buyers left town??

I have noticed a similar pattern, too, but it's hard, or even impossible, to pinpoint the exact root cause of this, since anything and everything may and does affect current and future sales.

It could be anything. There are various reasons as to why that is the case, for example:
It could be the case that Ebay has a glitch, e.g., its search engine, which may have decreased sales.
It could be due to the competition within Ebay sellers, but also outside of the site, i.e., the competition coming from other online vendors.
Or, it could be that people are saving money now in order to make purchases during the Holiday season. So, some people, not only they are waiting to save money, but also because they are aware that during the holiday season there are going to be various discounts.

The list may go on and on ad infinitum, since the potential reasons leading to this situation are various and, more or less, interdependent.

Sales are down for most. Use your imagination think outside the box. Best regards

My sales have dropped in last 2 months and Oct was horrible. I usually always always have daily sales but having no sales for days here and there. I definitely see a change?? 😞

My sales came to a halt this week, aside from a multi-item sale to one buyer on 10/30 and 10/25, it's been slow. I have 800 items and normally move 4-6 items a day and it's like 1-2 items and more frequent 0 sale days. Very "feast or famine" pattern.

When it's slow I notice new listings show a view count of "1" for days. When sales are good my view count is "3" to "5" views immediately upon publishing the listing.

I searched your seller name on the desktop version of eBay, "0 results". However, the app shows 1099 active listings.

IMO, this says a lot. More than likely ties in with all of the bugs encountered on site this week between indexation, caching, broken images, image upload directory and file path problems, etc.

You are not alone sales have fallen off a cliff and nothing seems to help...ground approaching fast and no parachute in sight.

Slowest week ever on eBay, i decided to cancel my store sub. Already glad i did. The whole markets different than 1 year ago and can't sell neither the same priced items or get the same sales rates i had.

Same here sell auto parts and our sales plunged 75% in October. Over 10k 100% feedback etc these past 2 months have been horrible especially October where we had to let people go due to lack of sales. eBay just plain SUCKS and will get only worse once they roll out their new payment system Been here since 1998 time to go find business elsewhere, goodbye eBay executive!
