What happened February 9?

[partfinds]

Only me or everyone sees plunging in promotedlistings without any changes?

Yours looks like a major ventricular cardiac arrhythmia just before he flatlined. 

I see your feeling better, that's great news!

LOL

Can't sleep and the puddahs need fed.  🐈

I "feel" like I flatlined and it is about that timeline I ended up with covid again.  Do you think PLS can predict covid too?  @inhawaii would know!

Don't know the relationship - eBay announced Winter Update.

Due to Winter Update adding shipping and tax to item price when calculating Ad Fee (Change on March 1st - but Ads carry on for 30days from click) - I changed all my items from recommend ad plus some percentage to 1%. The Winter Update helped me save on fees 😉

Result for me was a small dip in promoted impressions and a small rise in organic impressions. Also getting a rise in sales. 

I use eBay inventory with quantity 1 items and sales usually don't show in search (this issue has been discussed and around for a long time).

Other sellers-buyers reacting to the Winter Update could have had an impact in some way.

Looks just like ebay's plunging stock price lately...

I'm just chugging along and don't see any particular temblors.  Of course, that's about all I can say "chugging along".  I guess that beats "crashing and burning".

Over here February is considered the slowest month for any sort of retail and always has been.

Probably a mixture of summer, C.Card bills due from Xmas and all the N.Year specials we have after Xmas 

and kid's are Back to School [another cost for mum and dad with books, uniforms etc]

Usually starts to pick up mid March for us.

@inhawaii   Thanks for saving katz, that was a close call.........

Winter seller update is what happened, they tinker with search and visibility and sales plummet.
