Looking at your sales I don't see any that you have sold recently.

Your DSR would just about scare me off buying from you sorry.

Do not forget that people are trying to get over the expense of Xmas and those with kids have school uniforms etc to worry about. Not to mention that so many parts of the country are in a crisis at the present time. So many lost so much. I personally have family friend who has lost everything, kids got no presents. A few of us in a slightly better position are trying to help them where we can. Certainly nothing left for little extravagances.

If you want to sell anything at all you need to do a bit of price revision......the Murano glass pieces are way overpriced.

And your DSRs and % rate would be keeping many buyers away.

DSR = Detailed Seller Rating,this is what your buyers rate your sales on between 1-5.

1 being low and 5 being Perfect.

Personally anything below 4.9% DSR is not good enough but that's just my opinion.

I suggest you click on the Seller Centre link down the bottom of every page and start reading up on how ebay works.

Your response to the negative would worry me more than the fact you got a negative. One negative out of only 13 buyers who've left you detailed star ratings in the last year will bring your DSRs/stars way down so people really need to see a response that helps explain why you got the neg.

Surely you are not pricing your used items at anywhere near the price of new items?

If you got 50% of the new price you would be doing very well.....it is usually closer to 25-30%.

To find out what things are actually selling for, click on the " advanced" link next to the big blue search button, type in what you have for sale ie. Murano glass etc. and then scroll down to " sold items ". Tick this and search. This will then show you what items are actually selling for, rather than what you have them insured for.

Some of your items such as the vice are reasonably priced, while others are priced much higher than they are currently selling for ( ie. your glassware and pottery ). Most of your items are discretionary spend rather than things people really need. When the economy is tough, or they have just spent a lot of money on Christmas etc. the first thing people cut back on is discretionary spending on the internet.

As for sales, mine are still ticking along quite nicely, but have slowed slightly over the Christmas / New year period. This could be because I have spent very little time on ebay. With ebay, you get out of it what you put in. Little effort, poor results,

Might I also say that your postage rates are all over the shop You have an orchid book with $1600.00 for postage. I think you may need to do a bit of homework.

When I clicked on your user name at the top right hand side it shows this....

Online Status
User is Offline

Maybe your store is set to offline for some reason. Just a thought

Cheers

Actually half of those who have commented are showing offline and half are showing - online. Quite strange

When you click on a username from the boards, it shows offline if they are not logged into the boards.

Nothing to do with their status as a seller.

Fair enough. I know about that. Just mine was showing offline 2 days ago. I contacted Ebay and it was a problem they were having. Problem is all fixed now.

My sales started pretty well....until I had 2 buyers completed wasted my time for not paying for their items, failed to reply to my emails. I had one person bid's retracted, and a finally a sale on eBay.
