I have been looking at my traffic. I have had a VERY sudden drop off in page views this month. Almost half the normal amount compared to the WHOLE year. It started on June 8th and has been consistantly about 1/2 the views.
My ebay impressions are about the same. So something is stopping people from clicking on my items.
Any thoughts?
If your impressions are stable as you are saying then your views are being affected by other sellers engaging buyers better from the search result page and beyond. I would say you are being beat out on price right from the search result page ( which explains your impression rate being stable but your views not stable) and also when your buyers change the default search filter to lowest price.
Take some time to see if there is a seller that has a very large inventory that is also a new seller. This seems to be the problem quite often.
Have your over all total transactions changed much? Not dollar amount but total number of transactions? This would be something I would look at If I was experiencing what you are describing. If they are down that is another sign you are being beat by prices.
I would probably double check your item specifics for changes to the ones available. Just edit about a couple dozen listings randomly one at a time and see if eBay is giving you some new suggestions for item specifics. This could also be a reason as you are not being shown to highly qualified buyers of your items if your item specifics are not set up as well as eBay wants them to be.
Next I would look to see if eBay has changed your category to be a cataloged category yet or not? Does the search result page have sections and a new browsing look to it? or is it the same search page as always?
Good Luck selling!
