Slow Sales?

[iluv2save]

Is anyone else experiencing unusually slow sales?  Since the removal of "whatever" content (I can't remember what it's called) my sales dropped off. I don't know if it has to do with that or something else.

haven't listed much lately so can't really tell.

only this evening have i been a little more productive.

already sold 1 item.

other than that what you are talking about is "active content".

have you checked your listings?

just in case here's the link to the scanner.

not sure what happens if your listings still have AC.

but i think it is best you remove it all.

can't hurt.

If you are just NOW experiencing this....Then you have been more fortunate than many of the rest of us. 😋

Actually my sales picked up over the weekend and seem to be doing slightly better in general.  However, that does not mean they will taper off again.  It's feast or famine.  You never know when a buyer will search your item, and when they do if your pictures are good, good description, and at the right price I see no reason why sales won't pick up again. Good Luck and hang in there.

As the months and years go by yes, we all notice......that is everyone but eBay. They are doing a great job of making Sellers leave and continue to focus on destroying what could've been an amazing platform

They seriously are.   Selling is awfully depressing compared to the past.

I don't know if there is even a word to describe how pathetic sales have been again!!! Every time they make a "change" there is a long period of hardship for the small seller!

you realize, when things pick up...you will be saying "things are Better compared to the past"

it's all a cycle ...ups , downs.... changes, trends, etc....

I've switched to all BIN's. I've tried auctions a few times lately but they never seem to result in anything.

One thing I have noticed that I am selling more during the week than on weekends. It's been rather favorable. Wish I could tell you what I'm doing right but I don't know.

This week has been the worse for me. I've only had two sales this week so far. I usually average 3 sales a day. What is going on? I hope it picks up really soon. I've can't remember the last time I had such a low sale week.

The opposite here. My sales sagged in June to now (FP in the store). Last week I listed a whole lot of auctions, including stuff I moved for the Store. Sell-through was pretty good.  I priced to sell. Some even got bid up.  Ironically a few things I left in the Store also sold.  There's just no telling. 

Also, I think constant listing is important, and review of existing listings. I remove a lot each time listings expire, for being stale or no longer competive on price.
