how many days are the "fourth of July"?

Sales fell off the cliff Wednesday and I'm rather concerned that it will be a long weekend of poor sales.

Yesterday (4th of July) was a slow day, so we went to see the fireworks.
Today we had a good day that balanced yesterday. So maybe our buyers were busy with a BBQ and left the shopping for today.

Holiday sales losses are really overstated. Pretty much everyone owns a smartphone now and can be connected to eBay via either WiFi or a data connection. I myself did a little online shopping during the holiday.

It depends on how many 'fifths' you had!!!!!  Just kidding!

Sales have always been slow over the 4th Holiday and if history is correct then things should start picking up by Monday.

The 4th was quiet for me here. Only a couple of sales, but the 5th perked right back up.

This week is traditionally the most popular one for vacations due to the Fourth being in it, as many would get an extra vacation day because of that.

I started on ebay during a vacation but whether or not many will do so remains to be seen.  That was a different time, many years ago.

Truer words were never spoken. I started in 2000. What a difference a (nearly) 2 decades makes.
