Yes, dead like something is wrong.
We are small sellers, having started really selling three years ago.
Sales have always been steady, except for a 10 day stretch in August.
The last three weeks not one sale, really.....like something wrong. What???
Then, We had two sales earlier this week.
As so many others have said, more listings up, fewer sales every year.
2017 being half of 2015.
Have been wondering if our time here is just done. It's getting not worth the time. We know from reading the community that many sellers give it an effort, then are just gone. New names appear. Would love to know how many quit how soon. Or is it just ebay in general? Wonder how domestic (American) sales truly are doing. And are vintage items selling? This is one of the biggest challenges on ebay. The lack of information makes it flying blind.
We, like others, think a division/ or site of American/vintage/ preowned would be a good idea. But, maybe high shipping has killed that. We are now listing some items where the cheapest shipping is more than the item. With ebay's fees, leaving us even less.
Think a purge of items might be in order, but, things can sit for so long. We have had many items sold after 2 or three years of being listed off and on.
Never thought we would miss our B&M store like we do. Just the ability to read the customer. Direct "feedback" (and no returns!).
So, is something happening? What?
