You are not alone. Summers are often slower for many sellers for a variety of reasons including other things to do like go to outdoor sales and flea markets.
Not to get political but, for me, uncertainty kills sales, I think. And for months uncertainty has seemed to be the predominant experience. One never knows what's coming next or going to change. That doesn't seem to give people consumer confidence, as I believe the latest numbers show. For example, I've been planning to side the house. The money is in the bank. For purely emotional reasons based on feelings of uncertainty I just haven't pulled the trigger. I find comfort in looking at the balance in that account, I suppose.
On another note, your listings are very well done and are quality offerings. However, I'm finding, (and this is just my personal observation and could be worth what you paid for it), less "perfect" things are selling. What I mean is:
1. I'm selling more replacement parts-weird stuff I have laying around that completes a say toy or set of tools. Not a ton of money but clearing out stuff that's been laying around taking up space but will never be worth big bucks or go up in value much in time. Plus it feeds my shameful addiction to the cha-ching sound and satisfied the algorithm need for new listings.
2. I've never been big on targeting my sales offerings to the "rich". I have a mix of items. And there's more people who are not rich than rich who still want to buy something.
3. Lastly, of late, I've found more people want to chat a bit and haggle over the price a bit. I'm not talking about the folks who want 50-75% off. I'm talking about those who get a sense of accomplishment for a few dollars off. For example, I sold a perfume/powder jar that was lovely but imperfect in that the stopper was missing. The lady who bought it was so excited when we dickered a bit and she "convinced" me to take a bit less-about $9 as I recall. She wrote in feedback how much fun it was to be able to "deal" with me, and to me how she was sure to buy from me again and was going to give shopping on eBay another try because of her experience with me and that perfume bottle. Yes, more time consuming but a decent sale.
Just tossing this out as a thought to consider or not.
