Why my sales and views have gone to zero for all my items? Please help thanks!

[ob1knabe0zc1]

In the past 3 weeks my sales and views have gone to zero. I am using the standard and above standard promotion rate. Any way to find out why and how to correct it? Is this normal?

Ebay just wants more money from you. Thats all

[hartungcards]

You have 5 extremely obscure items for sale.

[tobaccocardyahoo]

You have only 5 items and one of them is a piano for local pickup, a problem to dispose of even if you want to give it away.

[ob1knabe0zc1]

Yes agreed however I've been selling average several items per week. Nothing for the past 3 weeks.

[ob1knabe0zc1]

Also, no additional views. Why?

[ob1knabe0zc1]

Ok , and how to get ebay more money? Increase promotional % ??

[ob1knabe0zc1]

If it were an average piano yes I'd agree.... dumpster item however This is the last one of its kind in the USA. The last one sold for over 18k in the UK.

@ob1knabe0zc1 

There are hundreds of posts/complaints concerning no views & no sales on this forum daily.  This tends to be a slower time of the year, especially with back to school, not to mention the present economy displays that most people are spending money on essentials. 

That's a very nice piano you have listed.  Why not put a notice up at local schools that it's for sale?  Many districts got their arts/music programs discontinued due to the economy, but I know they are still looking, especially if they can get it for a good deal.  Just throwing some ideas out there for you.  Keep the faith and hopefully the holidays will provide us all with a little financial relief.  

Happy Selling.

Wait, what?  You've "been selling average several items per week. Nothing for the past 3 weeks?"

You had one sale 2 weeks ago, and 3 in the last 90 days.

Well I appreciate your comments very much - you're a pro I can see that.

Good points I will keep in mind.

The Steinway piano is an extraordinarily rare World War II Piano. It's for restoration for museum or collector only. I've been in the industry 38 years.

[hartungcards]

There may be a reason there's only one olive green Steinway upright piano left in the USA.

The Steinway might be better offered on a more specialist site than a generalist one like eBay, or a good auction house - I like its architectural lines.

Why do posters do this? think we can't see the history?

Makes no sense to me, especially just to rehash a topic that has been done to death already.

That's not an ordinary piano
