LOL upgrade my store. Maybe when you let me have some more sales.

It’s better than it was but not as good as it used to be before it got to be as bad as it is.

According to Seller Hub my sales in the past 30 days are 22.8% above the previous 30 days. BUT the previous 30 days were way below average. So a 22.8% increase only sort of puts me back to normal. BUT this is November and, in the lead up to Christmas...
