Has anyone experienced a severe sales slump in the last two months?

My store and another long time Ebay seller are experiencing large sales drops in the last two months. I contacted Ebay but they say all is fine. I did get them to admit there is a system wide problem with sellers being able to view how many people ha...

Current pricing on disinfectants

I am appalled at the current price gouging of people selling disinfectant products. Offer bidding on ONE container of wipes starting at $18 with $17 shipping is a travesty. At the very least, you should be DONATING these products to hospitals, home c...
