No sales (Australia)

vibe.city — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 02:43:28 GMT

Just after some feedback. I usually make between 10 to 20 sales per day, and these sales come through consistently. It's now the afternoon, and I haven't made any sales in around 24 hours. I know this is a very short period of time, but it's highly unusual. I am a Top Seller and have 99.6% feedback. Do you think it may just be an eBay glitch? Cheers!

I just made 1 sale! Maybe there is/was just a glitch. (As this post has no comments, I'd delete it if I had the option...) 🙂

No need to delete the post.

'Twas li'l ol' me that bought after looking at your listings. 🤣

Should have looked further - there's another item that I want, but it's for a birthday in August.

I'll get back to you.

I have noticed a big drop in sales since December. I am doing all the same things . Sales have dropped by 50 - 60 % which is quite significant. Some days no sales which has previously been unheard of. It seemed to happen quite suddenly and views and watchers down as well... makes me wonder if My listings have somehow become less visible as I do not pay for any promotions etc. Is this possible ??

You are selling discretionary items.

In case you haven't noticed, the cost of living is outstripping wage increases. A reasonable extrapolation is that there is less money available for purchasing discretionary items.

Yes understandable.. but can't help wondering if I am far less visible for not joining Ebay plus and paying the extra for promotions. I suppose the only way to find out is to try it. Just eats into the profits more and more obviously so have been resisting. Thanks Dave.

I have had no sales for a month. Very odd !

Japatech can I ask if you do any promotional listings ? Can anyone notice a difference in sales AFTER joining ebay plus or paying promoted listing ???? Economy is one explanation for sure but the drop in my sales was so sudden it seems odd.

Do you look at your Traffic page and if so are your impressions down from that period to now.

more reasonable is to believe ebay once again messed up the website as per usual and wont be honest. a lot of big words to explain greedflation but.

Using the word "honest" is a bit rich coming from someone who chooses to ignore eBay Policies,

I've been selling on ebay since 2007 and I've noticed a huge reduction in sales esp in the last 2 years. I used to be able to sell heaps of items per week, now I am lucky to make 1 sale per month. Ever since they introduced the list 250,000 items for FREE every month I noticed this has killed my sales on ebay. I dont pay the extra amount for views so basically my items are not getting the views like they used to. I'm kinda glad though because I do much better on other selling platforms 🙂

To increase your sales lose the auctions & list as BIN.

STOP leaving FALSE POSITIVE FEEDBACK!

If you keep leaving false positive feedback for bad buyers, the good sellers would prefer you left anyhow,

Must admit I am amazed at how many bad sales (non payers) you have had, raises questions.
