We know there is always this thread....but...
Sales haven't slowed.
They have stopped.
We sell a variety of things, a lot of vintage.
This is the longest dry spell in three years.
It must be a combination of things, but heat is expensive, and half the country has been very cold. It seems that being inside would spark sales, but it hasn't.
We are getting views and watches, more than we ever have without sales, so people are looking, not buying.
I hear more people talking about watching Netflix than browsing on ebay.
Talking to my dad, he mentioned maybe ebay was new and novel and now it's not.
It would be nice if ebay shared info with us to help, (regional buying patterns, number of watchers) but that's a dream.
We have stopped buying until we move some things. Sadly that is the fun part and hard to resist. We passed our (former) favorite Goodwill the other evening and it was packed.
So people are out (and it's cold!!) and presumably buying.
of course, Goodwill is getting more for items than we are.
It does take away motivation for listing.
I keep looking at my items, tweaking, making notes.
Its like a watched pot never boils.
Really must do better or spend time on something else.
At least we haven't had to deal with the Post Office or SNAD claims.
