Sales

[mksports03]

Hi everybody, sales and views the last week about non existent, anybody else experiencing this, or is it just us? ha, ha.  Please let us know how your doing.

eBay has flatlined my impressions the past 12 days,  both organic and promoted.  Can't sell if you're kicked to the curb, again.

We can't eat and pay bills if eBay doesn't show our items to prospective buyers who just might purchased something. Back to grilled cheese and the cheap Campbell's soup. Again.   

Hope your sales pick up immediately.

The middle class has been bled dry

Same same here. 2 sales yesterday, one this morning so far.  If I had zeroed this weekend, it would not have raised an eyebrow. 

The one from this morning was a long tail item I am sure they found by part number. Been out there for 6 years.

Retail sales are what they are, up and down, down and up.

Last 2 weeks had went back to normal but this current week dropped to the lowest week we've had since we started. Idk what's up, but we are just hanging in there. Luckily we have other avenues to sell. If not for that, we would be really in a bind. I figured ebay is tinkering again.

Also slow here in N.J.  Just the normal ebb & flow of retail I would think. I have been working retail for over 30yrs. in one form of another & this is what happens. Up & Down. Don't try to figure it out or you will go crazy. Just try to hang in there.  It WILL get better. good Luck!

In the same boat....awful. If we don't sell, how can Ebay make money. I've never been this dry, nothing in over 30 days.

Is it possible its a push to get you to  start promoting if you already havent, or increase the percentage if you already have? Things that make you go hmmmm...

[vintagecraze50]

Yep. I am one of them. LOL!!!

[vintagecraze50]

It’s been good for this time of year for what we sell. Hang on for the fourth quarter. Should get better. We hope.

Scammers & ebay's current policies & rules may have more of a negative impact on sales than the economy

[the-hook-and-the-loop]

While eBay's focus is to squeeze a billion dollars from it's sellers for using promoted listings advanced, express, standard, display, and offsite ads they continue to lose 5 billion dollars is organic direct sales.

Well sellers can now look at the bright side of the new auto-pay policies, no more non-payers. Too bad it's at the cost of losing paying buyers too.

I just found out this week the 2 accounts I use are now being punished with this auto pay policy. I was waiting til the 20th, my cc cut off date, to make a bunch of offers. After attempting a few and seeing this I gave up. I did message one of my regular sellers to send me an offer instead so I could pay normally, which they did. But the rest I will buy the items elsewhere.
