Mine are also down. I am wondering if it is mandatory to add a video and other featured categories in order to get sales going again. These are a couple of the suggested updates to my store. I have a collectibles site selling mostly Disney pins and pressed coins. Thanks for the help!

Yes, ever since the changes made to the listing tool which absolutely sucks btw... my sales have fallen off exponentially...

Looking at my eBay seller metrics, my sales are down 41% since May 27

eBay has continued to decline since around 2012-13 but now it is literally crashing.

FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE is a much better venue for buyers and sellers.

FBM offers shipping at 20-40% of what eBay shipping charges.

FBM charges 5% seller fee and eBay charges 12.55%,

Additionally, eBay charges that same 12.55% on the cost of shipping and on the tax paid by the buyer. FBM charges no fees on shipping cost or tax (and that is how it should be!)

I have sold on eBay since 2000 and have always been a Power Seller with 100% feedback or very close. I will be leaving eBay for good very soon.

Sales down 46.2% which were already down some in prior months. Sales at another popular venue are down about 15% and have been since the Gas prices exploded but that 15% is off near 300% better sales w/ about half the product in my case.

I prefer eBay over any other venues buying and/or selling but at this rate I can't foresee sticking around long term perhaps.

Unbelievable loss of sales over the past 2 months beginning with all of the changes that started happening mid May. It seems like with every change eBay makes my sales drop.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Current decrease in sales is at 50% to 60%. Last month (May) was at 30% to 40%. My promoted listings fell off a cliff in May and remain at the bottom of that cliff no matter what I try to do.

Something is broken and it needs to be fixed!!!

Add me to the list.

Please add me to the list as well. I am a clothing reseller....I'm not a big time seller, but my sales were always pretty consistent. My items are good quality. I have lowered my prices. I'm listing everyday. I offer free shipping and returns. I don't know what else to do.

Something else has changed, and I for one really don't like it! So I was searching on another browser to see if any of my listings came up? Well finally I found one of my listing, here's the rub! When I clicked on the link, there were ads for other sellers who sell the same products! My pages was flooded! I started to investigate this with other sellers I know, and sure enough – competitive ads for other sellers of the same or similar items! Many cut rate of what I charge! Look! I paid eBay over $15 grand last year in fees how dare they run ads on my listings! What do I get out of this? I paid for that page! I don't want to advertise for other sellers who sell what I sell! That's a lot of **bleep**! This needs to stop! Then the

video update, adding a video to the listings, as if we don't have enough work already! That's slowed down sales too, I bet! If promoted listings are not showing up as well, what are sellers paying for?

No shows in search engines! Let's be realistic if we all paid for promoted listings who would be

on the top of the search? All millions of us? Very broken and needs fixing fast before we all can't pay our rents!
