Two consecutive days with ZERO sales!

[inhawaii]

I have a zero sales day every once in a while, maybe once a month.

But today will make two consecutive days with zero sales.

What's going on ebay?

I noticed a downward spiral ever since they switched me to managed payments.

If this keeps up, I'm going to consider a class action lawsuit.

You must be joking. Managed payments has nothing to do with your sale problem.

I thought that was the point of the posting.

Of course it doesn't.

I was being sarcastic.

Do you remember how everyone blamed manages payments for slow sales when it rolled out?

    Kudos to you!

    I figured you were being sarcastic when you spouted off about a class action lawsuit. You're way too smart and humorous to be suggesting such a lawsuit over "zero sales".

   I happen to enjoy the occasional day or two of zero sales so I can get caught up on paperwork, purchasing shipping supplies, or just chilling out watching Judge Judy. Sales always pick up if I keep on top of my listings.

   Thanks for the laughs...

Cheers, Duffy

I trace it back to when they dropped Billpoint for PayPal!   My sales never recovered from that!

Two days of zero sales is not unusual for some sellers.

I sell the numbers people put on their house so first responders and UPSP can find the right house.
If I say I have had two days of zero sales, it could mean:
a) No buyers made a purchase, at all.
b) Buyers purchased a variety of digits like 30, 706 or 6802. Those contain zeroes.

I take it all back.

I just had a sale.

Just so you know.  Be prepared.  eBay is now taking its FVF on the SHIPPING and the SALES TAX!!!  That is greedy, corrupt, and ILLEGAL!  And so is charging sales tax on old stuff I already paid taxes on, which is taxation without representation, not to mention plain stinky!!!!!  So add that to your high class action lawsuite!

I have been doing a lot and my sales YTD are 40% down and past 2 weeks 60%. Sold literally 4 items in a 8-9 day period.

Never understood what a post like this accomplishes.

It gives those of us who waste waaaay too much time on the Boards a momentary chuckle.

Oddly after last week of (for me) booming sales, I too had two dead days, and just as I was contemplating doing something about it, had two sales one after another on items that had been listed for over three years.

Not even to the same countries.

I think ebay is testing what's called social media scoring.

If you think this is nonsesne..

Please research it

Social Media? Isn't that where strangers argue about politics and make threats?

     This has happened to me for years always consistently no sales for 7 days then the orders roll in. O wait, I mostly utilize the auction format and my auctions end on Sundays. I have had weeks where I didn't have any sales.
