Sales Down

bdstratton — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:05:02 GMT

Hey I was just wondering if anyone else here has noticed a dramatic drop in sales this month.

My sales have dropped of dramatically since Australia Post increased its prices.

I usually sell up to 10 - 20 items a week but in the past month I've only sold 1 -5 items a week.

Yes, I have but only in the last week. I never go a day or 2 without selling but haven't for a week now.

I think the best way to do this type of comparison is Number Listed versus Number Sold.

I am listing things of a small nature due to being tired out from packaging large items so didn't expect a lot of sales from them, but have sold say 50% of items listed if that helps.

I am curious to see what happens when they implement the new system on may 1....!!

How FINDABLE will our items be then ?

Hi suitcase of memories, Yes 1st May will be very interesting.

I haven't made up my mind yet re what to do regarding store size. I may just leave it as is for 1 month, then change to basic store after I see what is happening.

The worst month ever, not sure what is happening. I'm not getting as much watching either this month. Something not right. I've only put my postage up 50c and its still under cost of what you pay over the counter at AP. At this rate I will need to go else where and sell at the markets on Sunday.

Same here champ. The only way I seem to get myself out of the slow peek is if I put some items up for auction.. No kidding an hour after I put a few items up, I end up having ALL of my items with watchers and a few buyers and emails o_O
