Overall Sales Drop

[perfect_pixels]

Hi everyone, ive had my ebay store for about 6 months so far and i know this is probably a very common complaint/question but this seems to be my worst month so far! i have over 160 listings up at the moment and the selling is far less than i expect with such quantity of items and i just cant figure out why that might be. I mainly sell electronics and games and would like to know if anyone has some solid answers for me, or can check out my store and see if everything seems prime for selling or not. Constructive feedback would be very helpful 🙂

Also wanna say I’ve never done promoted listings or used the marketing tool for price drops etc, I’m currently unsure if they’re effective

Is this a wind-up?

You sold approx 39 items during August for not small change IMO

Some would kill for a month like that.

I'd be happy with a 25% sell-through.

Oh wow so mine actually isn’t that bad? I guess in part i needed some perspective

eBay is not what it used to be and you seem to be travelling along nicely.

All I can suggest is when sales dip then go in and use the markdowns i.e. 5% seeing as you have a store.

That is a good feature of the store and seems to boost sales from what I have seen and heard.

Mmm I actually just found out about that today and I agree that 5% is a good starter mark, I’ll list a bunch of new stuff and then run the discount...here’s hoping 🤞

I would expect that sales of some types of product may drop off due to the combo of The Ashes and the Footy Finals.

I often think that ebay artifically boosts sales for new sellers to get them hooked. If our sales growth had stayed the same as our 3rd month, we'd be driving Teslas now.

Roadster?

Or a boring one?
