My sales were absolutely dire back in April, but it has always been a terrible month for me. I began working extended hours late that month in order to turn things around for May, and thankfully it's paid off and I had record sales for that month.
Some strategies I've found that work for me:
* End any old listings and relist - even some slight adjustments to your title or description can make a difference.
* Make sure all relevant item specifics are filled out, even if they aren't required for that item because eBay seems to be really encouraging buyers to use them and therefore it pays to have them.
* Sometimes new photos for an item works wonders, even if you think there is nothing wrong with the current ones. Keeps the listing fresh and there may be something about your photos buyers aren't connecting with.
* Send offers to watchers of anything that isn't moving - even if it's just a few dollars off, I've made quite a few sales from doing this lately and then they also go and buy other items in my store.
It's a REALLY strange time (generally, due to COVID-19, but this extends to everything, including online commerce). There is a lot of uncertainty and I've become accustomed over the past year to my sales fluctuating.
