Upgrade to Store = decrease in views and sales

bamkapow — Sun, 25 May 2014 01:43:11 GMT

Good Morning,

I upgraded my account to be a store mid-week and since that time I have had a dramatic increase in views on my items and sales. Although sales can be explained to the fickle nature of ebay I would have expected people to still be seeing my stock.

Anyone had an issue like this before or is it just a co-incidence?

Regards,

Ken.

KEN, If you mean decrease instead of increase, buyers have been very fickle in the last few days since the news of ebays hacking scandel leaked out. I didnt sell anything on any of three accounts yesterday which is unheard of for a Saturday.

Ahh, thanks Chameleon,

Makes sense I guess, a little gun shy.

Cheers Ken.

Sorry,

I am not sure what you mean?? I am saying that I am not getting views or sales, and of course I want to advertise my items. How else am I going to sell??

Hmm,

Ok, so the attrocitty I have performed must be putting my ebay store name in the post. I will remove this, thanks for the heads up.

Ken.

Admins...

I cannot edit my initial post. Could the admins please remove it or remove my store address from the body. I do not want the fact I have my store address causing any issues moving forward.

Cheers,

Ken.

You will have to report it to them matey, bottom left hand corner of your post is a "Report Inappropriate Content" link. a pop up box will appear and you get to write in there.

BTW, people can just click on your little red door beside your name and it takes them to your store anyway, so all is not lost
