Start into 2023

[partfinds]

Sakes seem dead for me. It seems that there is no traffic at all so barely any views. How did you start New Year?  Any better?

Definitely selling more than average the last 24 hours. Maybe people are using their Christmas money on some new beauty products.

What?  No:

"Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?"

I had slow sales the week before Xmas.

Then, huge sales between Xmas and New Years Eve.

Then it dropped. Zero New Years Day, yesterday and started this morning with nothing. 2 Days 0; but today is a new day.

See, for me it was the exact opposite-- the weeks leading up to Christmas were great, and then it's tapered off since then. But I put a good part of the blame on myself because I haven't listed anything new in a couple of weeks. I need to get back in gear and start listing some of this stuff I have sitting around.

Last year got 47 sales in january and had sales right off the bat.

I didn’t have sales for several last days (some sales followed by cancelation and return). It felt Ebay was out of service but looking at stock today it looks like it was out of service for me . Yesterday I got 60 views total when 150-200 is normal for me. 
The way you start off new year the way it is supposed to continue throughout. I do worry.

I have never found that to be true.  It's all about what one lists and what price we list it at - and, I will admit, how good our SEO is if you sell in an incredibly super-saturated category like myself.

The year is now an entire 3 days old - I think patience and consistency is probably a good idea.

Terrible. 1,200 item store with 1 to 2 sales a day... if that! Terrible! No views on hundreds if items. Just depressing!

Everything thing that happens on ebay for sales is based on the economy. and right now as we all know the economy sucks. So hopefully in 2024 the American people  will vote a new president in office who understands economics more then are current one.

ROFL - last I heard the president of the US did not run the world economy, and the situation we are in is world-wide.

President says Economy is growing and is strong. Employment exceeded expectations. Why is Ebay not growing and doing as great?

My sales are downright pathetic. I have been on ebay for twelve plus years and never before have I wanted to just quit ebay. I am a Top Rated Seller, with 100% feedback with around 1500 items in my store. I sell mostly vintage clothing, especially T-Shirts and hoodies.  I know all the ins and outs of ending items and selling similar items, promoting my items, sales, good pictures, customer seriverive, free shipping etc. My sales are ridiculously low and have been so for a long time.

Hi!

        If this is so then it is a glitch because you can not ship an item with pick up only.   Everyone should know that. It is not worth my time trying to talk to them cause they do not help much lately...

[buyselljack2016]

Best month in a year other than Sept 22

Hit my goal ................. plus some

[s.scharmu0]

Hi!  

         I finally slowed down some. I was hoping this would happen & it did. 1 site I sell on was keeping me busy. Now I have some time. I would be very happy if this kept up  till March 😊🍀  We have many Doctors, Vets, tests, labs, ect. appointments this month now.

I guess it's along the same lines.

The wife always tells me...........

As you are on New Years Eve, so shall you be the entire year.

Guess I'm destined to be a grump all year 😂 (and glad I quit drinking)

[goldgoose]

I'm in the same boat. I've been a seller for 22yrs. I have never experienced it this bad. I'm getting to pull the plug and move on. ebay is dead.

[partfinds]

@goldgoose „ebay is dead”

Ebay is making money off fees. The stock is doing good which means Ebay has sales and is making money. Your store is dead not ebay.
