Looks like the entire sports card market is tanking this past month according to my seller hub. Is this about what everyone else is seeing? Just curious.

It occurs to me, what is different about this May is they delayed the tax filing deadline to May 17th and I wonder if that's made a dent in what people are willing to spend.

Because it's not just your category, it's across the board, I've had items that should easily sell not sell and items that should get a lot of bids only get one or two. I have one on now that should already have a bid and nothing. That's across several categories.

In the last 31 days, my sales dropped by 61.3% compared to the previous 31. Compared to this time last year I'm down 81.3% !!! Of course, none of that has anything to do with eBay screwing around with their site. It' s all my fault as a seller. LOL! Good luck to us all.

@baxterbog - I'd be interested to hear how your sales were doing the first week or so of this month.

eBay made some category and item specifics changes on May 11th that seem to have hit several categories, including trading cards, pretty hard.

I'm sure there are multiple factors in play here, but if the month started out strong and then had a sudden drop, that may be part of the problem.
