I havent sold a thing for ages

[francapossum127]

Does anyone else have this problem?  

Have I done something that wont allow my items to be viewed

I have a few thing that are on peoples wish list but thats as far as it goes

I havent sold a thimg (or hardly a thing) since befor xmas,

Usually I sell at least 1 item per week or so

This has me totally baffled

Stop complaining.....you have sold 63 items since mid October.

There are many sellers who would kill for sales like that.

Have i really sold that much?

In that case i wont complain then

I suppose im not used to having such quiet times

As long as Im doing the right thing by E-Bay thats cool

Mainly I was concerned that I did something wrong and that ebay wasnt giving me exposure

Thank you for taking the time to respond lyndal1838

Much appreciated 🙂

How could you not know how much you have sold?

Don't you look at your Sold Items list?

It's possible people are still in holiday mode (some with kids) - going out more, spending on food and fun, etc. I know that almost all fun resorts are fully booked out for January around the east coast.

Thank you so much for your kind response love-of -cars.. 

I looked back at my sales and in October November people really buying up big.

I was comparing my sales with what I had previously sold. 

Main thing that concerned me most of all was that i thought i had done something that wasnt in line with the EBay rules and regulations.

Thanks again for the positive message 🙂

How much you sell regularly depends on what you sell as some items are seasonal. Some sellers will be priced low enough that people will buy for this fact even if they don't need the item yet and others will rely on volume as the more listings you have the more exposure you get. 

So if you want to increase your sales just increase your listings. Unfortunately most find 500 to be the miniumum if you want to have 5-10 sales a day.

You've had 63 sales since mid October. I got my invoices from eBay the other day, for all three selling accounts, for December. I owe eBay absolutely nothing for December. Two accounts were also zero for November too, so you're not doing so bad.

You currently have 26 active listings. How many do you expect of those to sell each month? You get 40 free listings a month, why not use them all, to increase your chances of more sales?

Whilst you are quiet you might take the time to check the Item Specifics in your listings.

I found that once I'd filled in all the gaps (even if I had to put Does Not Apply) my listings suddenly became popular with 10 sales in 1 day after nothing for 2 weeks.

Go figure!

It's often quiet this time of year, even in the stores.

People have spent a lot of money for Christmas and they go away and spend time with family and friends.

Then there are the expenses for getting all the kids stuff for school. 

You usually find things start picking up Feb and March when things get back to normal.

I use the term "normal" but with covid it might be a new normal.

I guess we just have to wait and see.
