Sales have dropped dramatically in March. Just wondering if other sellers are facing the same situation. Thank you for your time.

Sales have 'tanked' for many the past month.
See 'the news'
See 'the stock market'

@scubadiver00 Someone has posted about this pretty much every day (sometimes more than one person) for the 20 years I've used this board, including this month. It's pretty safe to say that it's a common problem.

Yout items are very desirable and in demand. I can't understand your drop in sales. It makes no sense. I'm sure it's somehow ebay's fault.

Sellers complain everyday on the boards about no sales.
Your complaint is nothing different or dramatic.

I sell on ebay full time. I normally sell items every day. Yesterday was the first day that I can remember that I didn't receive any sales. None yet today either. Not even any questions on my listed items. I think it's the economy. It's pretty scary.

There are numerous reasons, just listen to or read the news.

I have 2 different seller accounts (different types of business') and both have seen a 40% decline in sales beginning summer of 24. Most of the stuff sold on ebay are non-essential items...and thats what people stop buying first...so yeah...pretty much everyone selling on ebay have seen a decline ..its called Bidenomics

It’s tax time and that could give some shoppers a pause in spending.

Well been here since ebay started and I can tell you for fact overall ebay sales reflect the economy just like cars, homes ect., it will go up and it will go down. Ebay has told it's stockholders to expect less revenue which is created mostly by us sellers so I would expect a sales drop in a lot of categories. This too shall pass with time.

It's just not your turn.
We have not looked at EVERY scenario or possible cause.
But, have looked at everything we can think of.
From economy to conspiracy theories to listing practices to...the list is quite long.
Scanning through SOLD items tells the tale. Wondering why others are getting sales of the same items we have, yet theirs are inferior quality and/or more expensive.
With all of the various methods of Search Manipulation going on?
The best we can tell? Low sales means it's "just not your turn" to sell.

While it does always come back eventually I will say I haven't seen it this bad in a long time.

I think this is probably the sanest response.
