What in the World! Help! 4 days 18 hours and not one view........

[extraordinarilyyou]

I am simply at a loss this morning. I look at my 171 auctions and I have half ranging from 2 days 18 hours to 4 days 18 hours without one page view. Many more with only one or two views. Is eBay that dead? Did they really run off all of the LP buyers? Between the fees, the cost of LP Mailers and inserts, the hours of creating the listings. The cost of the LP's themselves. I lose money at 2 dollars. I just don't get it. The last auction run I did for 48 lp's, the same thing. The choicest LP's sold for literally nothing and rest went unsold. With few exceptions most of these LP's the vinyl is freaking EX by any other sellers grading. I am so disheartened.....

blingrescue - Same here. This week has been absolutely abysmal. I really feel like my listings are just invisible. I can't continue with this nonsense. Sure, people say "you will get your turn", but even when I get my "turn" sales are not that great. When you factor in the slow periods there is just not much profit to be make. In today's word, a few hundred dollars of profit (at least by west coast standards) is chump change (with all the costs just to live). If things don't pick up pronto, it's goodbye Ebay.

I'm more shocked that you're shocked than anything else.

A company that just issued a money grab based around items NOT SELLING, and you are surprised that your items are doing just that?

The writing is on the wall people

I think the real issue here is that people aren't buying record albums anymore. If they were, trust me, I'd be selling them, as I only have over 500 of them laying around myself.

I had vinyl records up for sale all of 2015, and I can assure you people just aren't buying them. Most people don't even own a record player anymore. This isn't 1985, its 2019, things have changed a lot.

I was planning to test the waters by listing a few for sale again, but I know what to expect based on my previous experience.

Trying to sell records is like trying to sell VHS tapes, only a handful of really sought after titles will ever sell. The rest just sit there and marinate eternity.
