Sales

[swanlakeballerina]

Hi,

I have been selling for 22 years+. Lately, I have 0 sales and have not had any questions or sales for approx. 2 months. This has been the worst year ever. Has anybody else experienced a situation like this? I am in a quandary as to what has happened to EBay? Any thoughts? Please advise.

Thank you

Maybe run a sale?  I keep telling myself I am not an Ebay storage unit - so let it go....   Do you have a hot item you can list to draw in traffic?  Maybe offer free shipping?  I think the more you interact the more traffic you get?

@date-bait is correct. Never guess. If you are not sure, do not list the item. In addition, using a question mark in one’s title is a policy violation, see link below to the rule.

Do you have any social media accounts? Put your pictures of your items on them and provide a link for people to purchase.

The others in your market have given some great suggestions and comments too. Good luck!

This appears to be a refrain and the OP never comes back.

Good catch!

I wonder if they think that by posting here, it gives their items a view boost.  If so, what they don't understand is views without purchases actually lowers the item's search ranking.  eBay isn't going to show buyers items that nobody actually wants after looking at them.

[chapeau-noir]

Yes. Same complaint every month or two, too - a seller could engage some other way if they want to indulge in that 'posting = sales' myth, or even just have a good chat. 

Also, it's a bit rude to take up peoples' time over and over again for suggestions, yet never return to the thread.

Thank you, @chapeau-noir for pointing this out. Saved from further wasted effort. Checked earlier to find none of the suggestions given to the OP have been applied, including policy violation corrections.

Lots of possible reasons..LOTS
Many of the reasons intertwine
   BUT, one of the main things I see is that: No matter what you have listed. There are others out there that have had the same thing listed for years. That will just about (or will) lose money on it, just to get rid of it. 
AND, if there's enough room, and you price yours lower?  
It'll then be hidden under the tiny print where not many Searchers go.....  "see more results"
