Updates are happening to some item specifics and category structures

[community_team]

We announced in our most recent Seller Update that we’ve revised some categories and item specifics to help make your listings easier to find on eBay and by external search engines. 

Starting today, you’ll see updates to the following categories:

Business & Industrial (Sinks)

Collectibles & Toys 

Electronics (Cameras)

Health & Beauty (Covid tests)

Home & Garden

Parts & Accessories (Wheels & Tires)

Sporting Goods (Golf & Cycling)

Watches

During this transition, your listing experience could be temporarily impacted, as well as the visibility of your listings.  You may notice some item specifics changing names, listings moved to different categories, or some listings temporarily not appearing in searches. 

Any affected listings should return to normal within a week, though some effects to listings’ visibility in searches may continue for up to three weeks. 

Once these changes are complete, we recommend checking your listings in the above categories to see if any were affected.  Learn more about category changes → please scroll down the page to see the links for the specific category changes.

We understand these updates will take extra time and may cause some frustration, but our goal is to help you increase your listings’ visibility and sales. 

Keep an eye on this page over the coming days—we’ll be sharing up-to-date information on affected categories and listings, and answering any questions you have.

My sales tanked, I was making good sales in single transactions. Not sure how on earth out of nowhere it tanked! I send offers, nothing as well.

July 15 September 13 sales decreased almost non-existent.

Our sales are way down this summer vs last year, went from about 20 per day to 2 a day, LOL.  However there are a lot of contributing factors as well, inflation is the main one, but also feel like more buyers are moving to Amazon and social media (we sell on there as well) and we have at least 10 sales on Amazon for every 1 here on eBay.  My main complaint is that I NEVER see eBay ads anymore, which is very disappointing as a seller paying all these fees, eBay really needs to advertise more, TV, social Media.  Also when talking with the 20 to 30 year-olds they tell me they rarely use eBay, but instead use Instagram, Facebook, Mecari and other social media and apps to buy and sell products.   So between inflation, and all the NEW online selling platforms its more challenging.  But I still feel ebay needs to advertise more, thats my .02 cents.

I haven't been getting any sales lately, this is the time of year when sales usually pick up for me.  Hardly any looks either. This has been a great platform for me in the past.

Same here
