Slowdown

Is anyone else's eBay sales chart go all the way down? I used to make at least 1500-2000 a day and now barely making 300-600 this is the 3rd day that it's like this and eBay can't provide any answers I'm posting every day nonstop have a sale and promoting my listings with no cap. my store is at a 100 percent no defects or any negative reviews. I just don't understand what the issue can be. Any idea?

As I mentioned in another post that many sellers are buyers so if they are not selling they may not be buying.

I can not afford to buy if I am not making any money. Inflation has taken a huge hit on most households so extra money goes toward bills. I made $360 in the entire month of October hardly anything to rave about. If sales continue, as they have been, on this downward spiral I would be spending more in eBay fees than making any money.  The old expression *no tickie no washie*.

I had no sales for the last 5 days and then this morning had a ton I had to ship. According to my Seller hub sales are down 40.5% in the previous 31 days... it sure feels like that. I sell the same category on Amazon and I never had a slump in sales last month. So I think much of this is an eBay thing. I haven't seen a single ad online or on tv for eBay but I have seen tons from many other competitors.

eBay is down 40.5% for my shop, no change on Amazon and I had one of my better months in October. So I have said it before, I think eBay is just milking a few selling categories and ignoring the rest.

Correction: I won't be paying fees because I am not selling anything, but on the other hand eBay is losing money by not providing a viable platform where sellers are actually selling!

I've continued to work on this.  I've been listing every day, upped the quality of my photos, run sales, sent offers whenever possible.  Sales are still down in the last 30 days from the previous 30 days, but sales from the last 2 weeks are up over 300% over the previous 2 weeks.  I'm nowhere near  where I need to be but I have a few other things to try and hopefully I can continue to work through this.

Ebay will not be able to tell you why people are not buying your items.

This is not helpful, but I also am noticing a very dramatic drop in sales. This time of year is usually great for women's clothing and shoes, yet all I'm selling is the very bottom priced items. I've been selling on Ebay for so long, I"m reluctant (and old) to try Poshmark or Etsy.  What are some other good sites that might be easy?

Things seem to have topped out for now.  I'm back up to the 4000-4500 range.  Needs to be double.  While my efforts have gotten me back to where I was in early October in terms of sales, my expense ratio has also increased to between 35 and 40%, so profit is down.  I upped my store subscription so now I have 10,000 listings.  My plan is to get to at least 2000 and hopefully 3000 total listings.  I have 1100 now.  The thing is, last summer I was selling about 75% more with only 300 listings.

Our Etsy store is starting to pay off, though, so hopefully that will take up the slack.
