Resolved! When stacked store markdown sales are active only the lower percentage off is showing

When I have a markdown sale active and I want to start another sale without taking down the existing sale, only the lower percentage off is showing for customers, so I have a sale of 28% off and when I start a 40% off sale on all of the same items it...

Possible contributing factor to low sales

When I get ready to create a new listing for an item, I always Google the item and see if similar items come up against which I can compare mine and start to develop a fair price. Up until about 6 weeks ago, the Google results almost always included ...

T-day sales

Does anyone remember previous years and if sales bumped up late in the day on Thanksgiving? I don't remember that kind of detail. Sales have been good except for the past few days and I am willing to surmise that tons of people have more going on tha...
