Yes it has been very quiet over the last 2 weeks, a lot of sellers have been complaining about this.

Not good when you have bills to pay 😞

My sales has slowed a little but this is typically a slow time of year, it always has been.

Yup... no real problems here for the time of year. But you need to persist in trying to sell something, often just need to wait for the right buyer to come along... you won't always get something sold the first week.

We have 2x stores and if anything I'd say our sales are on the increase over the past week or two.

Did you mean 30%? I often get fluctuations in the same ballpark, sometimes higher drops followed by a good upswing, thankfully.

February has seemed a little quieter than January, but when I look at my sales figures, they're pretty much the same on average so I think (at least in my case) it's been a matter of slow during the week, busy on the weekends, which is a relatively new pattern for me.

That was the pattern I had previously been experiencing - really great starts just about every month, then the middle two weeks....not so good at all. Towards the end, things would pick up a little to head into another great start. Even after nearly two years of that pattern, every single time I'd be like "this month is gonna be awesome...". Alas, eBay always said no.

Mine slumped a bit in the last fortnight, but seem to be back to 'normal'. Given I made a loss on eBay in Feb-Mar last year, I don't have to sell much to achieve that.

I had a few really bad days so far in Feb but overall it's been pretty good month so far. January was a really good for me, despite having nearly no stock after christmas.

Since I made my last post above this past week we have been down about 60% across both our stores.

Reminiscent of last September when ebay tinkered with Best Match.
